Commercial scaffolding in Plymouth

We scaffold shopfronts, blocks of flats, offices and public buildings. Our biggest job to date was the old boxing club in Plymouth, netted four lifts high. In the city centre we start at 5am so the scaffold is up before the shoppers arrive, and we keep the pavement open underneath so the shop can keep trading.

Commercial scaffolding: common questions

Can a shop keep trading with scaffolding up?

Yes. We can build the scaffold so the pavement and the shop door stay open underneath.

Do you scaffold blocks of flats?

Yes, including tall blocks, HMOs and buildings for letting agents and landlords.

Can you scaffold unusual buildings?

Yes. We have scaffolded a round concrete water tower with phone masts on top. Send us a photo and we will tell you how we would do it.

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.
