Solve your high-access challenges with our professional “Man and a Cherry Picker” service. Serving Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, and Fermanagh, we provide a qualified operator and specialized machinery to help you complete repairs, installations, and maintenance tasks safely and efficiently at any height.
Many exterior maintenance tasks are neglected simply because they are too high or too awkward to reach safely. At North West Exterior Specialists, we bridge that gap by offering a versatile handyman service combined with our own professional cherry picker. This unique combination allows us to tackle a wide variety of “odd jobs”—from minor roof repairs and bird-proofing to installing signage or external lighting—without the need for expensive, stationary scaffolding.
Our service is designed to be flexible and responsive. We provide a fully qualified operator who is experienced in both machinery handling and general property maintenance, ensuring your task is completed to a high standard. Whether you are a homeowner needing a one-off repair or a business owner requiring assistance with commercial property upkeep, our mobile access platform ensures that even the most difficult-to-reach areas are accessible in a matter of minutes.
Safety is our absolute priority. Our operators hold IPAF and PASMA certifications, meaning they are professionally trained to manage high-access machinery in various environments. When you hire us, you gain the peace of mind that comes with knowing the job is being handled by a qualified expert who follows strict safety protocols.
For small-scale repairs or installations, scaffolding is often an unnecessary expense. Our cherry picker hire offers a "reach-and-repair" solution that is significantly faster and more affordable. Because the machinery is mobile, we can access gables, chimneys, and high walls with zero lead time and minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Attempting to work at height using ladders is not only dangerous but often limits the quality of the work that can be performed. Ladders are unstable and restrict your movement, whereas a cherry picker provides a secure, level platform that allows for precision and safety. By hiring a professional with the correct machinery, you eliminate the risk of falls and ensure that your property maintenance is handled in full compliance with safety regulations.
Choosing our hire service is also a highly cost-effective alternative to scaffolding. Scaffolding can be intrusive, expensive to erect, and often requires several days of rental. In contrast, our cherry picker is mobile and can be set up quickly, allowing us to complete multiple small tasks across different areas of your property in a single visit. This makes it the ideal solution for fast-paced repairs, seasonal maintenance, and specialist installations.

To ensure the best possible results for your property, we follow a structured, professional approach on every project. We don’t believe in “one size fits all” cleaning; instead, we assess the specific materials and biological growth present to determine the safest and most effective method.
Before any work begins, our team conducts a thorough inspection of the area to identify surface types, levels of organic growth, and any potential access challenges. We prioritize safety by setting up necessary high-access equipment—such as cherry pickers or towers—and ensuring the workspace is secure for both our technicians and your property.
We prepare the site by protecting surrounding landscaping, sensitive fixtures, and drainage points. Depending on the service, this stage may involve manual debris removal or the scraping of heavy moss buildup. This ensures that our cleaning treatments can penetrate deep into the surface for the most effective restoration possible.
Using our advanced steam technology or specialized soft washing systems, we apply the chosen cleaning method with total precision. Whether we are utilizing high-pressure for hard stone or Pureseal-certified biocides for delicate render, we focus on eradicating algae, lichen, and grime at the source to deliver a flawless finish.
Once the cleaning is complete, we perform a final low-pressure rinse to remove any remaining residue and ensure the site is left tidy. We then walk through the project with you to guarantee 100% satisfaction, confirming that the results meet our high standards and providing advice on how to maintain the clean for the long term.
We understand that you may have questions about the best way to maintain your property’s exterior. Whether you are curious about the difference between soft washing and pressure washing or need to know how we handle safety at height, we have compiled the most common inquiries from our clients. Our goal is to provide you with clear, transparent information so you can make the best decision for your home or business. If you don’t see your question answered here, please feel free to reach out to our team directly.
The possibilities are vast. Common tasks include changing high-level light bulbs, repairing loose roof tiles, installing bird spikes or netting, cleaning or repairing high-reach guttering, painting difficult gables, and even helping with tree trimming or signage installation.
Yes, our service always includes a fully qualified and insured operator. This ensures that the machinery is used safely and efficiently, and it allows you to benefit from our handyman expertise to get the actual task completed while the platform is in position.
Our machinery is designed to be relatively compact, but we do require a stable, level area to deploy the outriggers for safety. During our initial consultation, we can discuss your property layout to ensure we can position the lift effectively to reach your target area.
Absolutely. We work with both residential and commercial clients across the North West. Whether you need maintenance for a retail storefront, a warehouse exterior, or a block of flats, our high-access service is the perfect solution for commercial facility managers.
Our equipment is equipped with stabilizing “legs” that allow for safe operation on slightly uneven surfaces. However, for extreme slopes or very soft ground, we will perform a site assessment first to ensure the machinery can be used without any risk to our team or your property.
