I would imagine it depends what area you are in mate! I have seen window cleaners abseiling in London, looks like great fun!!

Think you would have to travel around for jobs that come up, I have used a drop man before and he had a day rate of about 4 hundred, most of the work your get would be sub contacted (I think)

I would use you! I am sure that you would have no problem finding work of that nature. Yes you would have to travel but the premium prices you can charge would make up for that. £2000 a week on a £400 day rate sounds pretty good to me! I also think that most work would come from sub contracting.

Jay, where are you, are you IRATA trained and if so at what level.
Most companies would want IRATA certs. (but not all)

Craig Mawlam (Ionics) built a business on abseiling. It was called OTT (Over The Top). That was before WFP took off in this country.
