Before erection, we assess the building and surrounding areas, including front entrances, shared walkways, gardens, parking, escape routes and any access required by residents or emergency services.
We coordinate with the principal contractor and, where appropriate, the housing provider’s resident liaison team to agree working arrangements and any restrictions affecting the properties.
Our operatives carry enhanced DBS checks and are briefed on the importance of professional, considerate conduct when working around occupied homes.
Scaffolds are erected to suitable TG20:21 configurations or supported by bespoke design where required, with site-specific risk assessments, method statements and inspection procedures in place.
On larger programmes, the logistical side becomes just as important as the scaffold itself.
When several properties require erection or dismantling at the same time, our teams need clear schedules, the right materials and regular communication with the contract manager.
Our work with Milestone Roofing demonstrates this approach, supporting maintenance programmes involving multiple properties across different locations.
We also recognise that leaving a scaffold standing unnecessarily is more than a commercial issue. It can affect residents’ daylight, privacy, access and enjoyment of their homes.
Our aim is to provide the access contractors need, maintain reliable programme delivery and keep disruption to residents as limited as practicable.
