About us

Height Specialists Middle East was founded in 2014 by both regional and global specialists to deliver quality Inspection, Repair and Maintenance services to a variety of industries at the highest quality of delivery and safety.

One of the leading companies

Since the establishment in 2014 in the UAE, Height Specialists has progressively grown to become better known and respected as one of the leading companies in the region in the provision of Rope Access solutions to clients in multiple industries and sectors. We offer practical and efficient solutions for work at height and difficult to access locations. Thanks to our professional and personal approach, Height Specialists has grown into a reliable partner with an all-round package of services.

When Rope Access techniques are applied, locations at height which are otherwise difficult to access are reached faster and safer. Additionally, the impact on other operations is kept to a minimum. Height Specialists offers its clients these advantages by using unconventional working methods. In all services offered by Height Specialists, safety and expert knowledge are key.
