Waterproofing, roof coatings, damp treatment, basement tanking, window cleaning and painting by rope access, boom lift and scaffold. SANS 10333 qualified, fully documented, and quoted in a format ready for trustee or managing agent sign-off. Left unattended, most building defects only get more expensive. Johannesburg-based, operating nationwide.
The right approach depends on who you are and what the project requires. The sections below outline how Sky Rig SA works with each audience.
Reliability matters when you're accountable for the programme and answering to your own client. Sky Rig fits into your existing site file, safety process and programme without creating a separate process to manage alongside it.
Enquire about subcontractingTrustees are personally exposed under OHSA Section 37 if a contractor on their building is not properly qualified. Sky Rig is SANS 10333 compliant, and documentation is ready before it's asked for. Quotes are structured for trustee sign-off, fixed-price, with no scope creep and no invoice surprises.
Request a quoteAn open snag list delays handover and reflects on the developer's name, not just the subcontractor's. Sky Rig brings access capability across building types and building heights, with verifiable high-rise project experience behind every quote.
Discuss your projectResidents notice disruption before they notice workmanship. Sky Rig works without unnecessary disruption, keeps residents notified on live occupied sites, and provides before-and-after documentation for the trustees' file and AGM records.
Request a quote for your estateTorch-on, bitumen, acrylic and cementitious systems, specified to the substrate rather than applied as a default. Left untreated, water ingress rarely stays a small problem.
Reflective and protective coatings that extend a roof's working life at a fraction of the cost of a full re-roof, useful when a reserve fund can't stretch to replacement.
Rising and lateral damp, diagnosed at the cause rather than treated at the symptom, so it doesn't reappear a year later.
Below-ground waterproofing for parking decks, plant rooms and basements, built to perform under sustained hydrostatic pressure, not just after a dry season.
Rope access window cleaning for buildings where a cradle isn't installed, or a scaffold isn't practical or affordable.
Exterior and high-rise facade painting, usually carried out in the same mobilisation as a waterproofing or coating project, so a building isn't rigged twice.
Scaffolding can take several days to erect and holds a site hostage to hire costs for as long as it stays up. A rope access crew is typically working within hours of arriving on site, and can reach parapets, curved facades and confined roof structures a scaffold platform never will. Rope access is used where it's the right method for the job, alongside boom lifts and scaffolding where those suit the building better.
See the full comparisonUnder OHSA Section 37, a trustee or managing agent who appoints an unqualified contractor carries personal legal exposure if something goes wrong on their building. Sky Rig is SANS 10333 qualified. Documentation is prepared before it is asked for, not assembled after the fact.
Tell us about the building, the problem and roughly what you need. A photo or two helps, but isn't essential at this stage.
We look at the building, confirm the right access method, rope, boom or scaffold, and note anything that affects scope or timing.
A written, fixed-price quote setting out scope, method and price, structured for trustee or managing agent sign-off. No scope creep, nothing added at invoice stage.
Work is scheduled around your building, not the other way round: occupied sites get a pre-job briefing, signage and resident or tenant notice.
Before-and-after photos, a completion sign-off, and any compliance certificates required. A full record for the trustees' file and AGM, not just a finished job.

No. Rope access, boom lifts and scaffolding are all used, whichever gets the safest and most efficient result for a given building. The right method is decided at the site assessment, not assumed beforehand.
Send the details of your project and Sky Rig SA will recommend the right access method, with a formal quote you can put in front of trustees, a principal contractor, or your own client. No obligation.
