FAQs
Questions Principal Contractors Ask
Straight answers on coverage, compliance, systems and how we quote. If your scope is not listed, email the drawings — we will tell you quickly whether we are the right team.
Do you work across the United Kingdom?
Yes. Power Comms Structures delivers fall protection, structural steelwork and telecom civils across England, Scotland and Wales. The company is registered in England and Wales and routinely mobilises to commercial, industrial and infrastructure sites nationwide.
What fall protection systems do you install?
We install horizontal and vertical lifeline systems, free-standing and fixed guardrails, rooftop walkways, and fixed access ladders and staircases. We also carry out davit testing, anchor pull testing and eyebolt installation and proof testing. Systems are installed to the specified manufacturer detail, with test records where the work requires them.
Are you insured and registered at Companies House?
Yes. Power Comms Structures Limited is registered in England and Wales under company number 15739023. We carry public liability insurance and issue compliance documents, insurance certificates and operative qualifications on request.
Can you work as a subcontractor for a principal contractor?
That is core work for us. We provide RAMS, competency records and a site team that can interface with live programmes, crane operations, streetworks and occupied buildings. Communication sits with the people doing the work, not a distant head office.
How quickly can we get a quote?
Send the scope, location and programme through the enquiry form or email. We aim to respond within four working hours with availability and a clear next step. Drawings and photographs speed the price up.
What qualifications do your operatives hold?
Operatives are CSCS carded. Depending on the package, the team includes SSSTS, NRSWA, IPAF, NPORS slinger/signaller, rooftop safety, RF awareness, NVQ groundworks, NVQ fall protection and first aid competencies.
Do you carry out davit testing?
Yes. We proof-load test davit arms, sockets and bases used for suspended access, façade maintenance and confined-space rescue. Each test is set to the manufacturer’s specified load, and you receive a certificate with the location, load and result.
Can you pull test anchors and structural fixings?
Yes. Pull testing applies a measured proof load to installed eyebolts, fall-arrest anchors, lifeline ends and other designated fixings. A line test checks the terminal end and the tensioner end, holds the target load, and records the peak. You get a pass or fail, the load trace and photographs. On 3 October 2026 an overhead lifeline at Hams Hall passed at both ends: 20.1 kN at the terminal and 20.3 kN at the tensioner, each held for three minutes against a 19.0 kN target.
What is included in a test report?
The report names the system and the end tested, records the site, and shows the target load, the maximum load achieved and the length of the timed hold. It includes the load trace, site photographs, a pass or fail, the tester serial number and the next calibration date. Tests are carried out with a Staht 60 kN digital pull tester whose calibration is traceable to UKAS.
Do you install and test eyebolts?
Yes. Eyebolt work covers setting out, installing and proof testing safety eye bolts for fall arrest and rope access, and inspecting existing eye bolts. Installation and testing follow the manufacturer’s instructions, commonly BS EN 795 and BS 7883. Handover includes as-built positions and a test certificate for each anchor.
Do you install rooftop antenna and sector steel?
Yes. Packages include antenna poles, sector steel, bracing, RRU poles, yokes and toe boards on live telecoms roofs, with bolted connections checked and torque-marked. The same team also erects primary frames.
