High-altitude work — rope access services
Rope access is for places a ladder cannot reach: a leaking panel joint, dirty windows on a high floor, a cracked balcony slab. Give the joint length or number of windows in an order, and technicians will send responses. Or choose a crew yourself — by photos of their work and client reviews.

How much high-altitude work costs
What affects the price
Height and anchoring
It is not only the floor that matters but what the ropes can be anchored to: if the roof has no solid structures, anchor points are set up separately.
Joint length or area
Joints are usually priced per linear meter, and glass cleaning and painting per square meter, so measurements help you get a more accurate price.
Number of drops
A technician works a vertical strip below the anchor point, so for joints or windows at different ends of the building the ropes have to be moved several times.
Condition of old joints
Opening an old joint, cleaning it out and inserting a new backer rod under the sealant is more work than sealing over the top.
Type of facade
Glass, ceramic tile, plaster or a ventilated cladding facade need different products and techniques, and fragile cladding is worked on more slowly.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a contractor for work at height
- 1
Training and clearance
Work at height requires special training and a medical check. Ask whether the technicians are cleared for work at height: Nexperity does not check this.
- 2
Two ropes and a partner
Ask whether the technician will work on two ropes — a working line and a safety line — and whether a partner will be nearby: under occupational safety rules, rope work is done by at least two people.
- 3
Your job in the portfolio
Sealing joints, cleaning a glass facade and repairing a balcony slab are different skills. Look in the portfolio for photos of exactly your job, ideally at a similar height.
- 4
Fencing off the area below
Agree on who will fence off and mark the danger zone below the work — by an entrance, a sidewalk or a parking area — and how residents will be warned.
- 5
Warranty on joints
Ask whether the contractor gives a warranty on the sealing and what they will do if the wall gets wet again after the first downpour.
What to put in the order
What needs doing: seal joints, clean windows or a facade, repair a balcony, clear snow
What kind of building, how many floors it has and at what height the work is
The scope: length of joints, number of windows, or area of glass or facade
For an apartment building — whether the work is agreed with the OSBB (condo association) or the building manager, and whether there is roof access
What is below the work area: a sidewalk, an entrance, a parking area or an annex roof
How urgent it is: a joint is already leaking or snow is hanging over the sidewalk — or the work can be scheduled
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
