Honesty, integrity & experience
Welcome to Spider Guy – High Access Services, your trusted local specialists for roof repairs, restoration, and exterior maintenance in Moffat and the surrounding area of Scotland. With many years of hands-on experience, we take pride in working on older properties, preserving their character while ensuring they’re safe, weatherproof, and built to last.
Traditional Skills, Modern Access
Scotland’s historic homes and buildings deserve proper care. We specialise in:
- Slate and lead work – Repairing and replacing damaged slates, lead flashings, and ridges with skill and precision.
- Lime mortar pointing – Using traditional lime mortars to let older buildings breathe, avoiding the problems caused by hard modern cements.
- Sympathetic restoration – Matching materials and finishes to blend seamlessly with existing structures, preserving the look and feel of your property.
We use high-quality products and time-tested techniques, ensuring that every repair is both practical and sensitive to the building’s heritage.
Why We Use a Spider Lift
Accessing roofs and high areas on older properties can be tricky. That’s why we use a Hinowa 1775 spider lift — a compact, lightweight machine designed to reach high places safely and efficiently.
Unlike traditional scaffolding, the spider lift can be set up quickly, fits through garden gates and narrow spaces, and reaches up to 17 metres high (around 4–5 storeys). This means:
- Faster job turnaround – Less time spent on scaffolding, more time on actual repairs.
- Less disruption – No need for days of scaffolding construction and removal.
- Improved safety – Secure, stable working platform for both workers and property.
- Cost savings – Lower access costs often mean a more affordable overall job.
For homeowners, it simply means we can reach those awkward roofs, chimneys, soffits, and gables safely and quickly — without turning your garden into a building site.
Local Knowledge You Can Trust
Based in Moffat, we understand the unique challenges that Scottish weather and traditional building methods bring. We work with care, respect, and attention to detail on every project, whether it’s a minor slate repair or full external restoration.
