PTSG delivers a whole spectrum of specialist services across five business divisions which operate independent but can also combine to deliver bundled services packages for customers.
PTSG Building Access Specialists Ltd are experts in cleaning, maintaining and preserving the structural integrity of buildings. Their specialists are highly experienced in all the main access techniques including rope access (or abseil), as well as the use of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and scaffolding. A proportion of their work is also done at ground level.
Graffiti is a common problem and one that affects a wide range of business and residential premises in urban areas. Effective removal depends on a number of factors such as the type of surface affected, the age of the graffiti and the type of paint used.
PTSG’s specialist cleaning teams are highly skilled and experienced, using the latest equipment to remove graffiti from the majority of surfaces. Our teams use the best graffiti removal gels and ghosting removal products available.
In January 2022, PTSG restored a listed and highly valued sculpture outside the BBC’s Broadcasting House in central London, just hours after it was vandalised.
A man equipped with a hammer had used a ladder to reach the 10ft tall sculpture, which depicts Prospero and Ariel from Shakespeare’s play The Tempest. Police were called to Broadcasting House in Portland Street, Westminster, at around 4.15pm on Wednesday. The man had caused graffiti damage to the sculpture, as well as damaging it with the hammer.
Technicians from PTSG Building Access Specialists Ltd used the Doff System – approved by Stonehealth Ltd and Heritage (UK) – to remove the graffiti, achieving temperatures of up to 150 degrees at the nozzle end.
Thierry Schoen, Divisional Director of PTSG Building Access Specialists Ltd, said: “Our clients in London and the Greater London region can rely on a vast range of experienced technicians and engineers from PTSG to resolve almost any issues facing commercial and residential properties. Strategically placed in London, our team can be mobilised in no time and all our teams are working across the city and beyond, day in and day out.”
