A team of dedicated insurance professionals committed to servicing those who work at height.
Rope Access Insurance is focused on the height safety and rope access industry. We provide both client or broker with tailored, market‑leading coverage for contractors, manufacturers, designers and certifiers whose operations sit above ground level.
We work exclusively with insurance brokers and their clients, combining specialist underwriting with practical experience in rope access, roof access and height safety products. Our role is to make complex at‑height risks straightforward to place – with clear wordings, responsive service and A‑rated capacity supporting your clients.
Operations we understand
- Design and specification of roof access and fall‑arrest systems
- Manufacture, import and supply of height safety components and systems
- Sales, supply and installation of permanent roof access and fall‑arrest equipment
- Certification, recertification, inspection and testing of systems and anchor points
- Training, audits, assessments and accreditation for height safety and rope access
- Incidental rope access work – cleaning, maintenance, repairs, painting and more
What we do
- Professional Indemnity: cover for consultants, designers and those inspecting or certifying height safety systems.
- Design & Manufacturers PI: for businesses that design, manufacture or install height safety and roof access equipment.
- General & Products Liability: broadform liability for installers, importers, manufacturers, suppliers and rope access operators.
- Management Liability: protection for the company and its directors and officers against a wide range of management risks.
These covers can be combined or structured around existing placements to suit your client’s risk profile and contractual requirements.
How we think about risk
Our underwriting approach is built on understanding how height safety and rope access work is actually carried out – on real roofs, structures and façades – rather than treating these trades as generic liability risks.
- Focus on systems, standards and onsite procedures, not just job titles.
- Recognition of the full lifecycle of a system – design, installation, certification and use.
- Attention to contracts and project requirements that drive coverage needs.
- Preference for clear, practical wordings over long lists of exclusions.
The result is coverage that better aligns with how your clients manage safety at height day‑to‑day.
