Commercial work lives or dies on programme and paperwork. Contractors need scaffolding that arrives when the programme says it will, that passes inspection first time, and that comes with the documentation the principal contractor needs for their file. We work to agreed dates, keep one point of contact for the whole job, and adapt the scaffold as the build moves through its phases rather than making you re-book every variation.

What's included

Design, drawings and calcs

TG20 compliant designs, with bespoke drawings and calculations for non-standard structures.

RAMS and documentation

Risk assessments, method statements and handover certificates supplied before we start.

Programmed erect and strike

Phased to your build programme, including out-of-hours and weekend work where needed.

Loading bays and hoists

Material handling designed into the scaffold from the outset.

Temporary roofs and encapsulation

Full weather protection and containment for refurbishment and remedial work.

Statutory inspections

Documented seven-day inspections and scaff-tag records for the duration of the contract.

Commercial sectors we work in

We work as a subcontractor to main contractors and directly for end clients, managing agents and freeholders — including blocks of flats and communal buildings. On occupied buildings — shops, offices, schools, care homes — the priority is keeping the site safe and usable while work goes on above, so we design for pedestrian protection, clear entrances and minimal disruption to trading hours.

Alongside traditional tube-and-fitting scaffold we supply modular system scaffold, which uses pre-engineered components with fixed connection points and is quicker to erect on larger and repetitive elevations. For work at height across an open area — soffits, ceilings, atria and internal structures — a birdcage scaffold provides a fully boarded platform supported on a grid of standards rather than a single face. We also supply independent stair access towers where a site needs a permanent, safe route between levels for operatives and materials.

Commercial scaffolding FAQs

Our scaffolders are CISRS-trained and we work to NASC standards and TG20 compliance. We carry £10 million public liability insurance and can provide certificates, RAMS and method statements for your pre-start file on request.

Yes. Standard scaffolds are erected to TG20 compliance sheets. For anything outside TG20 — long spans, bridged sections, heavy loading, temporary roofs or unusual geometry — we provide bespoke design drawings and structural calculations from a scaffold design engineer.

That is how most of our commercial contracts run. We erect in phases, adapt lifts as trades move through, and strike in sections so you are not paying to hire scaffold you have finished with. We agree dates up front and keep one contact managing the job.

Yes. For retail, schools and occupied buildings we regularly erect and dismantle outside trading or teaching hours, including evenings and weekends, to avoid disrupting the operation of the building.

We handle highway and pavement licence applications with the relevant local authority, and provide the design and insurance details councils ask for. We will tell you the lead time for the licence early so it does not hold up your programme.

Every scaffold is handed over with a certificate, tagged, and inspected at least every seven days as required, plus after any alteration or adverse weather. Inspection records are kept for the duration and available for your health and safety file at any point.
