Absolutely. We have extensive experience in industrial environments including factories, manufacturing plants, warehouses, power stations and chemical facilities. Our team undergoes site-specific inductions and we're fully versed in working with COSHH assessments, permit-to-work systems and hot work requirements. We understand the critical importance of safety in industrial settings and provide comprehensive RAMS tailored to your facility.

Yes, inspection and certification are core parts of our service. We provide weekly scaffold inspections (as required by law) with written reports, tagging systems for each scaffold, and full handover documentation. For commercial clients, we also provide all necessary RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statements), lift drawings, design calculations and insurance certificates. Our inspection reports are recognised by building control, HSE and insurance companies.

Yes, but it requires proper licensing and safety measures. If your commercial project requires scaffolding to encroach onto public highways or pavements, we'll handle the license application to your local Highway Authority on your behalf. This includes arranging temporary traffic management, pedestrian walkways, lighting, signage and protective barriers. All licensing costs are included in our quotation, so there are no unexpected fees.

We understand that time is money in commercial operations. We offer flexible scheduling including out-of-hours, weekend and night-shift erection and dismantling to avoid impacting your business hours. Our team works efficiently and can phase scaffold erection to allow ongoing operations in unaffected areas. We coordinate closely with site managers and can adapt quickly to changing requirements or tight project deadlines.

Yes, coordination is essential on multi-trade projects. We attend pre-start meetings, toolbox talks and regular site coordination meetings. Our team communicates effectively with main contractors, project managers and other trades to ensure scaffolding is erected in the right sequence and to the correct specification. We're experienced in working as part of larger construction and refurbishment teams.

We strictly adhere to all UK regulations including the Work at Height Regulations 2005, CDM Regulations 2015, and industry best practice from NASC (National Access and Scaffolding Confederation). Our scaffolds comply with TG20:21 technical guidance and SG4 fall prevention standards. We provide comprehensive RAMS, COSHH assessments where applicable, and can work to client-specific safety management systems. All commercial projects include full risk assessments and method statements as standard.

Yes, we operate a 24/7 emergency callout service specifically for situations like this. Whether it's an unexpected structural issue, weather damage, or planned maintenance shutdown, we can mobilise quickly (often same-day) to provide the access you need. We maintain emergency stock and can work around the clock if required to minimise operational downtime.

Yes, we've worked on numerous listed buildings and heritage properties, both commercial and private. We understand the additional care required, including minimal fixings, protective measures for historic fabric, and liaison with conservation officers. Our team can provide specialist scaffold solutions that meet both safety standards and conservation requirements.

To provide an accurate quote, we need: site address and access details, the scope of work (what the scaffolding is for), required height and coverage area, expected hire duration, any specific load requirements (if heavy materials or equipment will be stored), site constraints or restrictions, and your project timeline. Ideally, we'd conduct a free site visit to assess the requirements in person and discuss any specific needs with you or your project manager.

For established commercial clients, we can arrange payment on account (subject to credit approval). Typically, we invoice in stages: deposit on booking, payment on erection completion, and final invoice on dismantling. For longer projects, we may invoice monthly. Payment terms are flexible and discussed during quotation. We accept bank transfer, card payments and cheques, and can provide purchase order processing if required.
