Eight Specialist Divisions of Opal Access Limited
Eight Specialist Divisions of Opal Access Limited
Â
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 capabilities of Opal Access Limited and the wider Opal Group of Divisions, supported where required by a carefully vetted network of specialist technical providers.
​
A major advantage of our model is the amount of work we can deliver directly, reducing unnecessary subcontracting and giving Opal greater control over quality, health and safety, programme and service delivery.
​
Through our own teams and integrated divisions, we provide commercial cleaning, security services, specialist access, rope access, MEWP operations, working-at-height services, roofing, guttering, external property maintenance, high-level inspections, workwear and planned and reactive maintenance.
​
Where additional trade qualifications, statutory approvals or specialist technical expertise are required, we appoint competent and carefully vetted providers, while Opal retains overall management, programme control and client accountability.

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.
