A cherry picker can’t get there. Scaffolding isn’t allowed. The schedule won’t wait.
That’s where we come in.

Most safety netting contractors need ground clearance, MEWP access, or a scaffold to do their job. We don’t.
Every R.A.T Work technician carries dual qualifications - FASET Blue Card for netting competence, IRATA Level 1/2/3 for rope access. That combination means we can safely net areas that standard teams can’t reach:

→ Fragile roofs where walking is unsafe

→ Historic buildings where scaffolding is prohibited

→ Active factories where floor space can’t be cleared

→ High atriums beyond standard MEWP reach (40m+)

→ Tight programmes requiring rapid rig and de-rig

And it’s not just about access, it’s about programme impact.

Rope access teams rig netting 40–60% faster than traditional scaffold methods. Work at ground level carries on while we operate above without getting in the way.

If your project has an area that’s been flagged as difficult to net, or you’ve been quoted a scaffolding solution that doesn’t fit your timeline, it’s worth a quick conversation with us first.

Most safety net companies would’ve turned up, seen the grain, and walked away. We didn’t.

JS Scaffolding needed safety netting installed inside an agricultural barn - but when we arrived, the floor was still full of grain. For a standard safety net company, that’s a problem. For us, it wasn’t.

Because we’re not just FASET qualified. Every one of our technicians is IRATA trained, which means we go in on ropes where others can’t.

No waiting for the grain to be cleared. No delays to the solar installers on the roof. No disruption to the farm below. We rigged and installed the full safety net system in just under a day - and everyone kept working.

The scaffolders got their fall protection. The solar team had zero downtime. The farm never stopped.

If you’re a solar installer or scaffolding contractor working in awkward environments - tight timelines, live operations, spaces that just don’t suit traditional access - we’re the team that finds a way in.

Rope access isn't abseiling. Here's what it actually is.

A lot of people hear "rope access" and picture someone rappelling off a building for fun.

The reality is a highly regulated, technically demanding discipline used across industries worldwide, for inspection, maintenance, and access work in environments that require serious skill to operate in safely.

IRATA - the International Rope Access Trade Association, sets the standard. Three levels of certification. Rigorous training and regular reassessment. A safety record that's consistently among the best in the industry for working at height.

Safety netting install on an agricultural barn, ready for solar panel installation 🌞

With the barn full of grain and limited access for traditional methods, rope access made it possible.

The R.A.T Work’s team completed the job in just over a day over the weekend, with no disruption to the farm’s daily operations - exactly how it should be done 🧗‍♀️

Emergency rope access work completed at a large waste to energy facility for FCC Greatmoor.

We were called in at short notice to install a new sensor reading cable that had to be completed over the weekend. Within 24 hours, our team deployed, with full method statements, RAMS, and rescue plans in place.

The job was delivered safely, efficiently, and without any disruption to the plant’s operations exactly what was required for a time critical situation.
