Roof anchors in Ciutat Vella: what we survey first
In 1960s and 70s blocks in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval, air conditioning units and solar panels have been added to the roof over the years with no thought for who maintains them. We propose a line that runs past each unit and anchors near the light-well parapets.
When fitting the line in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera we tension the stainless steel cable with its tensioner and indicator, keep the ends a safe distance from the edge and make sure the route never forces anyone to unclip at corners or changes of level.
On the visit we go up on the roof, explain the proposed route and prepare a detailed written quote. When we finish we clear away offcuts and packaging. We also work in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions
01Lifeline and anchor installation in Ciutat Vella: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.
02What is the difference between a lifeline and a single anchor?
A lifeline is a continuous cable that lets you move across the roof without unclipping. A single anchor is a fixed point to attach to in one specific spot, as in façade work.
03Does a lifeline need inspecting after installation?
Yes. Manufacturers call for periodic inspection, usually once a year, and always after a fall. We can take care of those inspections.
04Can it be fitted on a tiled or metal roof?
Yes. We use posts and fixings designed for each roof type, whether flat, tiled, metal sheet or sandwich panel, and seal every penetration to keep water out.
