At Height

What At Height does

At Height is a New Zealand-based specialist services provider of rope access (abseil), high-rise building cleaning, and work-at-height safety consulting for commercial complexes, industrial facilities, and residential towers. The firm is headquartered in Auckland and operates as a private company with 11–50 employees. Its positioning aligns with a broader Kiwi group operating across five specialist brands (Building Wash Services, Window Cleaning Contractors, Off the Ledge, Certifix, and Washco), collectively marketing themselves as New Zealand's largest commercial building washing and window cleaning provider. The company's website (height.co.nz) and the related group website (hawkservicesgroup.co.nz) underpin an enterprise-focused direct sales motion into commercial real estate, government, education, and large corporate clients.

The core service technology is a multi-method access platform that flexes between rope access, truck-based washing systems, ground crews, and a Drone Division used for inspections, façade cleaning, and chemical application on large or inaccessible rooftops. Delivery is enabled by certified technicians and supported by over 2,000 hours of annual training, photo-documented service reporting, and rigorous safety oversight. The company maintains $20 million in public liability insurance, IMPAC PREQUAL contractor prequalification, WorkSafe NZ compliance alignment, and Toitū carbonreduce certification in line with ISO 14064-1, signaling enterprise-grade compliance posture.

Revenue is generated through service contracts rather than transactional volume, with quote-based pricing tailored to site-specific requirements. Channel mix is direct enterprise field sales via reputation, prequalification status, and case-study work, complemented by digital presence (website, LinkedIn). Named reference customers across the broader group include The Pacifica, 205 Queen Street, L'Oreal, University of Otago, Tākina Convention Centre, The Majestic Centre, and Justice Centre, spanning commercial real estate, government, education, and consumer brand verticals. No public revenue figures are disclosed; the business is privately held with no parent company or external funding rounds identified in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• Programmed Maintenance Services: ASX-listed provider of staffing, maintenance and facility management services across Australia and NZ, including building exterior maintenance. Comparable to At Height as a buyer of high-rise maintenance services for enterprise customers, but with a far broader services portfolio.
• ISS A/S: Global facility services company with significant Australasian operations delivering cleaning, property services and workplace solutions to commercial real estate and industrial clients. Competes with At Height for outsourced commercial cleaning and maintenance contracts at enterprise scale.
• Drake International: Global workforce solutions and facility services provider with NZ operations supplying commercial cleaning, maintenance and staffing services. Comparable as a competitor for commercial exterior cleaning contracts in NZ, though broader in scope than At Height's rope-access focus.
• Spotless Group Holdings: Large Australia/NZ integrated facility services provider offering cleaning, maintenance and asset services to commercial and industrial customers. Overlaps with At Height in commercial exterior cleaning and broader facility services, though it is a much larger, generalist operator.

Others

• Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL): Global real estate services firm with a facility management arm that sources exterior cleaning, window washing and rope access services for managed commercial properties. Relevant to At Height as both an indirect competitor for managed services contracts and a procurement channel.
• Cushman & Wakefield: Global commercial real estate services firm whose facility management practice procures and manages exterior maintenance and cleaning vendors on behalf of building owners — directly relevant to At Height as a buyer channel for high-rise maintenance work in NZ.

Emerging players

• Jani-King: International commercial cleaning franchise network with NZ franchisees providing janitorial and light exterior cleaning services to commercial customers. Comparable as a competitor for routine commercial cleaning work that overlaps the lower end of At Height's offering.
• ServiceMaster Clean: Franchise-based commercial and residential cleaning brand with NZ franchisees offering window cleaning and building exterior maintenance. Overlaps with At Height on commercial window cleaning and exterior washing for SME customers, though typically without the rope-access specialization.

Direct peers

• Hawk Services Group: New Zealand's largest provider of commercial building washing, window cleaning and work-at-height rope access services, operating through five specialist brands (BWS, Window Cleaning Contractors, Off the Ledge, Certifix, Washco) plus a drone division. Directly comparable to At Height in service mix, geography and customer type, but at meaningfully greater scale.

Regional players

• Crystal Clear Window Cleaning: NZ-based specialist window cleaning operator serving commercial and residential customers. Comparable to At Height on the window-cleaning side of the offering, though typically less specialized on rope access and high-rise work.
