Eight Specialist Divisions of Opal Access Limited
Eight Specialist Divisions of Opal Access Limited
The Opal Group is the collective identity for the eight specialist divisions operated by Opal Access Limited.
Â
They are not separate Opal companies. Each division forms part of Opal Access Limited and has been developed around a defined area of operational expertise.
Â
Together, they allow clients to appoint Opal for one specialist requirement or combine several divisions through a coordinated service.
Opal Facilities Management
The Opal Facilities Management Division brings together the operational capabilities of Opal Access Limited, our linked specialist businesses and our wider network of trusted technical providers.
​
A major advantage of our model is that many of the services commonly subcontracted by traditional facilities management providers can already be undertaken directly by Opal Access Limited.
​
Our own teams provide specialist access, commercial cleaning, rope access, MEWP work, working-at-height services, roofing, guttering, external property maintenance, high-level inspections and associated planned and reactive maintenance.
​
Where additional specialist disciplines are required, we coordinate appropriately competent providers to complete the wider facilities requirement.

The Opal Rope Access Division provides specialist rope access inspection, maintenance and repair services for buildings, structures and infrastructure throughout the UK.

Safety is central to every rope access operation. Our systems of work follow recognised IRATA principles and the IRATA International Code of Practice, alongside applicable British and international standards including BS 7985 and BS ISO 22846.

The Opal Rope Access Division provides specialist rope access inspection, maintenance and repair services for buildings, structures and infrastructure throughout the UK.

Opal Maintenance
The Opal Maintenance Division provides planned and reactive roofing, guttering, external building maintenance and property care across commercial buildings, residential developments and managed estates.
​
Our background in specialist rope access gives our maintenance teams a wider understanding of working-at-height risk and access planning.
​
Rather than relying on one access method, we assess the task and can consider MEWPs, rope access, fall-protection systems and other suitable methods to establish a safe and practical approach.
The Opal Maintenance Division delivers planned and reactive roofing, guttering, external building maintenance and property care across commercial, residential and managed estates.
Â
Using our own operational teams, supported by rope access, MEWPs and other suitable access methods, Opal Access Limited can undertake a wide range of maintenance works directly.

Opal Commercial Cleaning
The Opal Commercial Cleaning Division provides commercial and specialist cleaning services as part of the wider Opal Access Limited offering.
​
The division is supported by our close relationship with Cleaning Scotland Ltd, a linked specialist cleaning business, giving us access to established commercial cleaning capability alongside Opal's own specialist high-level and difficult-access expertise.
​
This allows conventional cleaning and more complex high-level requirements to be coordinated through one service, with health and safety, COSHH controls and professional working practices considered throughout delivery.
Opal Security
The Opal Security Division provides professional security solutions as part of the wider range of services coordinated by Opal Access Limited.
​
The division is supported by Security Scotland Ltd, a linked, SIA approved specialist security business with established capability within the regulated private-security sector.
​
This relationship enables suitably licensed personnel and appropriately approved security services to be incorporated into commercial premises, events, facilities management contracts and wider operational requirements.
​
Regulated security activities are undertaken through the appropriately licensed and approved security provider, maintaining clear responsibility and compliance.
The Opal Workwear Division provides branded workwear, uniforms and corporate clothing for businesses, contractors and operational teams.
​
The division is supported through our close relationship with Custom Planet Limited, a linked specialist business providing established garment printing, embroidery, branding and fulfilment capability.
​
This allows Opal clients to incorporate workforce presentation, branded clothing and workwear requirements into the wider services available through the Opal Group.
​
Where garments are intended for a safety-critical or protective function, suitability and applicable product requirements are considered separately from decorative branding.
