What Rope Access Cleaning in Perth Looks Like
Here’s an example of a rope access cleaning project we completed for the well-known and iconic Council House building in the Perth CBD.

What is Rope Access Cleaning?
In a nutshell, rope access cleaning simply means the washing, scrubbing, wiping, mopping or rinsing of any of the exterior features of a building by an expertly trained and certified cleaning person who uses professional rope access gear such as an anchor point, hooks, ropes and a harness to safely clean building parts that are high up or difficult to reach.
This technique is considered a safer, more efficient and more flexible method as opposed to the more traditional uses of scaffolding or mechanical platforms.
Our Rope Access Cleaning Process
The process of cleaning the exterior features of a building through a rope access method focuses heavily on safety as the number one priority.
First of all, the person carrying out the cleaning must be fully trained and certified in rope access cleaning. At Blue Yonder Access, all of our technicians are fully trained and IRATA certified. IRATA is the international organisation providing the framework for rope access certification and accreditation.
At our rope access cleaning jobs across Perth, we follow a meticulous, safety-first process to ensure both top-quality results and full compliance with industry standards.
1. Site Assessment & Safety Inspection
Upon arrival, our experienced rope access team begins with a full site walk-through. This includes:
- Inspecting the building and immediate surrounds
- Assessing weather and wind conditions (especially critical during Perth’s summer months when the Freo Doctor can hit in the afternoon)
- Planning to work in shaded areas whenever possible, prioritising sun-exposed areas in the morning to avoid afternoon heat
2. Crew Briefing & Role Allocation
We assign specific team members to tasks based on their individual strengths and qualifications.
Complex or high-risk areas are always handled by our most experienced technicians.
Once roles are confirmed, we determine rope positions for maximum efficiency and safety.
3. Drop Zone Setup & Safety Barricades
Before any rope work begins, we secure the drop zone:
Hard barricades are placed directly underneath work areas to restrict access and ensure pedestrian safety and warning signage is clearly displayed.
4. Rope Rigging & Safety Checks
Our team then rigs the ropes using industry best-practice techniques. Each technician:
- Attaches their backup safety device first—this critical step ensures fall protection before leaving the edge
- Connects their descender device for controlled movement
- Ensures they are secured with two points of contact at all times
Once everything is safely in place, tools and equipment are loaded, and the technician begins their descent, ready to carry out professional-grade cleaning with precision and care.
What are the benefits of rope access cleaning?
1. Cost-Effective
Rope access eliminates the need for expensive scaffolding or elevated work platforms, reducing both equipment and labour costs.
2. Minimal Disruption
With a quick setup and takedown process, rope access teams can carry out work with minimal impact on building occupants, tenants, or daily operations.
3. Superior Reach & Accessibility
Technicians can easily access complex, confined, or awkward areas that traditional methods struggle to reach, ensuring a more thorough clean across all surfaces.
4. Enhanced Safety Standards
Rope access follows strict international safety protocols, with technicians using redundant safety systems (e.g. two-line setups and backup devices) to minimise risk.
5. Efficient Turnaround Time
Jobs can often be completed more quickly than with conventional access methods, reducing overall project timelines and improving responsiveness to urgent cleaning needs.
Why Rope Access Beats Scaffolding Every Time
Agility & Speed of work
Cleaning via rope access allows technicians to quickly set up and complete works without any of the delays associated with putting up scaffolding or lift operations.
It's Cost-Efficient
With minimal setup and equipment requirements, rope access significantly reduces labour and equipment rental costs.
Keep Disruption to a Minimum
Rope access work is quiet and non-invasive. This reduces any disruptions for building occupants and nearby businesses.
When You Should Consider Rope Access Cleaners
For Any High-rise Buildings
Rope access cleaning is the most practical and efficient solution for cleaning tall buildings where scaffolding is impractical or too costly.
Tight & Hard-to-Reach Spaces
Does your building include confined or narrow areas where mechanical lifts can’t reach? Don’t worry, because rope access cleaning allows precise cleaning in tight quarters.
Iconic or Complex Architecture
For buildings with unique or intricate designs, rope access offers the flexibility to reach all surfaces safely and effectively.
