HeightSure delivers bespoke insurance coverage for rope access companies and contractors working at height. Designed exclusively for rope access and height specialists, construction, installation and maintenance trades, and safety, access and training providers.

HeightSure goes above standard cover

Businesses working at height carry exposures a generic trades policy wasn’t built for, from unlimited height and depth risk to hazardous and overseas locations. HeightSure gives you direct access to a specialist team who structure cover around how and where your business actually operates.

Common challenges our clients face

Height and depth exposure

Rope access and height-based work carries inherent risk that standard trades or liability policies often restrict or exclude entirely.

Hazardous and overseas environments

Height specialists frequently work in controlled or hazardous environments, both domestically and internationally, requiring cover that extends beyond standard UK terms.

Damage to goods worked upon

Work carried out at height on client assets or structures creates exposure to damage claims that generic cover may not include as standard.

Hot works and complex access

Height-based maintenance and installation work often involves hot works alongside complex access requirements.
