Climbing wall inspection

It is recommended under EN.12572 to have climbing walls inspected annually by an independent, unbiased company or person to ensure that your wall not only complies with industry standards but also assists in maintaining the wall. At Helios Climbing, we offer comprehensive inspection services. Following our inspection, we will generate a detailed report that outlines any recommendations, practices, and systems to support the upkeep of your climbing wall. Ensuring the safety and longevity of your equipment is our priority.

Climbing Wall Maintenance

With extensive experience in constructing and servicing climbing walls across various manufacturers, we are prepared to assist you in planning and executing repairs and maintenance for your climbing wall. Our team understands the intricacies involved in different wall designs and materials, allowing us to provide tailored solutions that ensure safety and longevity. Whether it’s routine maintenance or specific repairs, we are committed to delivering quality service to keep your climbing wall in optimal condition.

PPE Inspections

We provide comprehensive PPE inspections tailored to various climbing needs. Our services cover personal gear for recreational climbers, equipment used for work at height, and gear specific to climbing walls. According to UK law, particularly under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998, it is mandated that climbing gear utilized in a work environment must undergo inspections at least every six months by a qualified individual. We not only conduct these inspections but also assist in developing a systematic approach for documenting future checks, ensuring ongoing compliance and safety.

Over recent seasons, he has specialized in para setting, dedicating time to developing his skills in this discipline to enhance inclusivity and accessibility in climbing. Gavin's expertise not only contributes to the competitive climbing scene but also aims to ensure that climbers of all abilities have the opportunity to engage with the sport in a meaningful way. He can bring this wealth of skills to your wall in both planning and route setting your climbing wall.

Specialist Cleaning

One of the most challenging aspects of maintaining a climbing wall is managing the accumulation of dust and chalk in hard-to-reach areas. This buildup can detract from the overall appearance of the wall and pose several operational risks. Notably, it may obstruct fire and alarm systems, potentially increasing the risk of fire hazards. Additionally, the visibility of essential climbing elements could be compromised, hindering necessary inspections and maintenance.

To mitigate these concerns, it is vital to establish regular cleaning and maintenance schedules. This not only helps maintain aesthetic appeal but also ensures a safe environment for both climbers and staff. We can assist you in developing a tailored cleaning program to meet your needs while also providing the labor required to carry out these essential tasks effectively.
