Stair towers, loading bays and edge protection

Some jobs need more than a working lift. We build stair towers so people can walk up instead of climbing ladders, loading bays for materials, edge protection round flat roofs and scaffolds inside stairwells.

Stair towers, loading bays and edge protection: common questions

What is a scaffold stair tower?

A tower of scaffold with proper stairs and handrails inside it, so people can walk up to the working levels instead of climbing ladders.

What is a loading bay?

A strong platform built into the scaffold for lifting materials up, closed off with a safety gate when it is not in use.

Do you put up edge protection on flat roofs?

Yes. We put handrails round flat roofs so people can work on them safely.

Do I need a licence if the scaffold is on the pavement?

If any part of the scaffold stands on the pavement or road, Plymouth City Council needs a scaffold licence before it goes up. Dean will tell you at the quote stage if your job needs one.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry £10 million public liability insurance. Ask and we will send you the certificate.
