Access Scaffolding Services

Access scaffolding provides safe working platforms for tasks requiring height access - from residential roof repairs and painting to commercial building maintenance. If you're working above ground level and need stable, compliant access, access scaffolding is the solution.

For standard residential projects, we typically install within 24-48 hours. Larger commercial or complex industrial projects may require 3-5 days including design and engineering. We offer emergency scaffolding services across Sussex and Kent for urgent requirements.

TG20:21 is the NASC (National Access & Scaffolding Confederation) technical guidance ensuring scaffolds are designed and erected to the highest safety standards. All our access scaffolding meets TG20:21 specifications, giving you legal compliance and peace of mind.

Yes. Every scaffold receives a full handover certificate upon completion. We then conduct statutory inspections every 7 days, after any modifications, and following adverse weather conditions. All inspection records are provided to you for HSE compliance.

Residential access scaffolding typically ranges from £800-£2,500 depending on height, duration, and complexity. Commercial projects vary based on scale and requirements. We provide free site surveys and detailed quotations with no hidden costs.

Yes. Our CISRS-qualified scaffolders regularly work on challenging sites including sloped gardens, coastal properties in Brighton and Hastings, and urban locations with restricted access. We use adjustable base plates, stabilizers, and specialist foundations where needed.

We hold £10 million public liability insurance, employers' liability cover, and professional indemnity insurance. We're also CHAS and Constructionline accredited, meeting the insurance requirements for residential, commercial, and local authority contracts.

We take extensive precautions to protect your property. We use protective boards under scaffolding feet, cover driveways and patios, and can install boardwalks to distribute weight. Our experienced teams minimize ground disturbance and restore areas after dismantling.

Access scaffolding is available in load classes from Class 1 (0.75 kN/m2) for inspection only, through Class 3 (2.0 kN/m2) for general construction work, up to Class 6 (6.0 kN/m2) for heavy masonry. Most domestic and commercial projects use Class 3, which supports workers, tools, and construction materials safely.

Working platforms are configured to suit your project needs: standard single-bay platforms (1.3m wide), double-bay platforms for larger work areas, hop-up platforms for lower heights, and loading bays for material handling. Platform height, spacing, and access points are designed based on the work to be performed.

All access scaffolding includes guardrails at 950mm height, mid-rails, toe boards to prevent falling objects, proper ladder access or stair towers, non-slip platform boards, and tie patterns meeting TG20:21 requirements. Edge protection and debris netting are added where public protection is required.
