Aviation. Compliance for Estates That Never Close and Can’t Afford to Stop.
- 24/7 Emergency Response
- ISO Certified
- Nationwide Coverage
Every compliance discipline your buildings need.
One partner who coordinates all of it.
Airports, hangars, maintenance facilities and airline estates combine some of the largest building volumes in the UK with some of the tightest operational constraints. Terminals trade around the clock, hangars house assets worth more than the buildings around them, and every contractor working airside must meet security and access requirements before a single tool comes out. PTSG delivers compliance across the aviation estate without getting in the way of the operation.
The Compliance Challenge in Aviation
Aviation estate teams manage the full building compliance framework, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, the Electricity at Work Regulations, L8 and the Work at Height Regulations, across buildings that are anything but standard. Terminals hold tens of thousands of passengers a day and need fire detection, voice alarm and evacuation systems that perform at scale. Hangars are vast open volumes with roofs and doors that conventional access methods struggle to reach. Water systems in terminals, lounges and catering outlets are large, complex and full of the low-use outlets that make Legionella control difficult.
Then there is access. Airside work means security-vetted personnel, airport ID passes, escort arrangements and work permits issued against a live operational schedule. Maintenance windows are often overnight and measured in hours. A contractor who can’t plan around that, or who sends a different team every visit, becomes an operational risk in their own right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can PTSG engineers work airside?
Yes. We plan airside work with the airport operator’s security and operations teams, including personnel vetting, ID passes, escorts and permits to work. Because our engineers are directly employed, the same vetted team can return to your site for every visit.
How do you maintain hangar roofs and high-level structures?
Our Building Access Specialists use rope access and a specialist technique developed for reaching the undersides of aircraft hangars and other large-span structures, avoiding the cost and disruption of scaffolding inside a working hangar.
Can you deliver work without disrupting terminal operations?
Yes. Work is planned into agreed windows, usually overnight or in low-traffic periods, with exclusion zones kept to a minimum and every activity coordinated with the operations team in advance.
Do you provide voice alarm systems for terminals?
Yes. PTSG Fire Solutions designs, installs and maintains public address and voice alarm systems to BS 5839-8, alongside fire detection and emergency voice communication, so the systems that move people safely through a terminal are managed by one team.
An airport never really closes.
The compliance programme has to work around it, not stop it.
