Serving buildings for decades at a time, facade access systems, such as building maintenance units, provide a long-term access solution for a range of architectural forms, from the simplest to the most complex. CoxGomyl’s facade access systems are chosen all over the world for their reliability and efficiency. Outside the normal wear and tear, irregular maintenance and environmental impact can have an adverse effect to each systems efficiency and reliability. Over the years a replacement may be required when the current system is beyond economical repair, or it has reached the end of its service life.
Ensuring the seamless operation of building maintenance units (BMUs) is crucial for the safety and efficiency of high-rise structures. CoxGomyl leads the industry with our comprehensive approach to BMU replacement, guaranteeing a smooth transition from outdated facade access systems to the new. CoxGomyl can arrange an end-to-end replacement solution tailored to each client’s needs with a dedicated team of project managers and technical experts.
Upon the request of a replacement facade access system, our team designates a dedicated Project Manager and Technical Representative to collaborate closely with all stakeholders.

The removal phase is executed with the utmost precision and care, utilising tailored methodologies to suit each building’s unique characteristics. Options for BMU removal include dismantling and transportation, cutting methods, and crane solutions. These methods are meticulously selected to ensure the safe and efficient removal of the existing facade access system while minimising disruption to building occupants and surroundings, providing reassurance regarding the safety of the operation.
