Sheeting, Netting & Encapsulation

Debris netting prevents falling objects and tools from leaving the scaffold. Scaffold sheeting provides weather protection and dust containment while allowing some airflow. Full encapsulation creates completely sealed environments for specialist works like asbestos removal, grit blasting, or temperature-controlled applications.

Debris netting is required when there's a risk of materials, tools, or debris falling from height and endangering people below. It's essential for public-facing works, busy streets in Brighton and Canterbury, and any site where falling object hazards exist.

Yes. Sheeting installed in coastal areas like Brighton and Hastings is engineered with enhanced wind loading calculations, reinforced fixings, and appropriate mesh percentages to balance weather protection with wind resistance, preventing dangerous wind loading on scaffolding structures.

Full encapsulation is required for asbestos removal, industrial grit blasting, spray painting, lead paint removal, and work requiring environmental control or complete containment of hazardous materials. It creates negative pressure environments preventing contaminant escape.

Sheeting significantly increases wind loading on scaffolding, requiring enhanced tie patterns, additional bracing, and potentially revised structural calculations. All sheeted scaffolds are assessed for wind loading, particularly important for coastal and exposed locations.

Yes. We provide emergency sheeting installation for sudden weather protection needs, storm damage situations, or unexpected delays. Emergency sheeting can typically be installed within 24 hours to protect vulnerable building elements or ongoing works.

Our scaffold sheeting meets relevant fire safety standards with appropriate flame-retardant specifications. Materials are selected based on project requirements, building regulations, and insurance stipulations for your specific application.

Long-term sheeting requires regular inspections for tears, fixings security, and wind damage, particularly after storms in coastal Sussex and Kent. We provide maintenance services including repairs, replacement, and re-tensioning to ensure continued protection and safety.

Debris netting typically adds £3-£8 per square metre to scaffold costs. Scaffold sheeting ranges from £8-£15 per square metre depending on material specification. Full encapsulation for hazardous works is project-specific and includes engineering, sealing, and air handling. We provide detailed quotes based on your specific containment requirements.

Emergency sheeting for weather protection or urgent containment can typically be installed within 24-48 hours. We maintain stocks of sheeting materials and can mobilise teams at short notice for storm damage protection, unexpected project delays, or urgent containment requirements across Sussex and Kent.

Properly engineered sheeted scaffolds can operate safely in winds up to 35mph. Enhanced tie patterns and wind loading calculations ensure stability, with work suspended in higher winds. Coastal locations like Brighton and Hastings require additional engineering consideration for sustained wind exposure.
