Glazing Replacement Services

The Benefits Are Clear

PTSG Building Access Specialists Ltd is part of Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG), the UK’s leading provider of specialist services to the construction and FM sectors.

We deliver a range of at-height services to repair, maintain and clean building façades. Our specialist engineers are trained and certified in all the leading access techniques.

Glazing replacement is one of the leading services we offer and we work with business of all kinds and sizes to replace glass and restore their buildings to a fully operational condition.

As well as replacing glass and repairing and maintaining windows and doors, we can also upgrade locks – from cylinders to multi-point locks and maglocks.

Access Techniques

Abseil, or rope access, is widely acknowledged as the safest method of accessing the façade of a building. It is also extremely effective in allowing PTSG’s skilled “spidermen” to reach every single inch, including the most inaccessible areas. We are IRATA-trained. IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) is now recognised as the world’s leading authority on industrial rope access.

Mobile access work platforms (MEWPS) are a versatile alternative. They can be easily transported, set up and utilised to reach all areas of a building’s façade to complete all glazing requirements.

Same Day And Emergency Call‑Out

When required, we can attend jobs on the same day as the call-out, including out of hours – early morning, late evening or weekend. 

Allianz Glazing Replacement Case Study

Background

Early in 2021, PTSG Building Access Solutions Ltd completed a project for Allianz Insurance at its head office in Guildford, Surrey. The agreement was with main contractor CBRE.

Allianz Insurance is one of the largest general insurers in the UK and part of the Allianz Group. The company employs over 4,200 people across a network of UK offices. The company’s head office in Guildford is supported by additional services in Trivandrum, India. 

Allianz Insurance offers commercial insurance with a full range of products for sole traders, right up to large commercial organisations. Customers can also take out musical insurance, legal expenses insurance and pet and equine insurance.

Scope Of Work

PTSG Building Access Specialists Ltd was mobilised to attend the head office of Allianz Insurance in Guildford to undertake a glazing replacement project in January 2021.

Working under the famous blue company logo, PTSG’s engineers used a mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) to access windows in all areas of the building complex, which is arranged in three elevations with a paved area to the rear.

MEWPs are versatile and can be easily manoeuvred to enable engineers to quickly access all areas of any building.

Outcome

The project was completed quickly and to the high quality that customers expect of PTSG. Allianz was extremely satisfied with the result and it is hoped that the two organisations will work together again.

PTSG Building Access Specialists Ltd delivers a number of other at-height services including:

	High-level cleaning – including cladding, windows, roofs, fascia and gutters.
	High-level reparations – including roofs, masonry repairs as well as repairs to all parts of a building’s façade.
	High-level installations – including balconies and signage. PTSG also undertakes painting and decoration of all areas of building façades.
