Commercial scaffolding contracts in Bristol

Bristol is well outside our home area of Berkshire and the Thames Valley, but it is one of the easier cities for us to reach: the M4 passes close to our yard at Theale and runs all the way there, with the M32 taking you into the centre. We take on work in the city project by project, usually larger commercial contracts.

There is no shortage of large-scale work in Bristol, from new blocks and offices around Temple Quarter and the Harbourside to the refurbishment and recladding of post-war buildings, and heritage work on the Georgian terraces of Clifton and Kingsdown. For each job we survey the site, agree the programme, and have the scaffold design, risk assessment and method statement ready before the first delivery.

  • M4 all the way

    From near our yard at Theale to the M32 into the city.

  • New builds and recladding

    Full-height, netted scaffolds for commercial work.

  • Georgian terraces

    Heritage scaffolding for listed fabric in Clifton and beyond.

  • Contract by contract

    Each job planned around your programme.

FAQs

Scaffolding in Bristol: your questions

Straight answers to the things people ask before booking scaffolding. Anything else, just call 0800 2086 905 or 07831 197615.

Ask a question

Do you work in Bristol?

Yes, on a project-by-project basis. Bristol is some way outside our home area, so what we take on there tends to be larger commercial work, booked in advance. Tell us about the job and we will give you a quick yes or no.

Who issues scaffold licences in Bristol?

Bristol City Council, which is the highway authority for the city. Its licence is needed before any scaffold goes up on a pavement or road, and we check whether your site needs one when we survey it.

What sort of work do you take on outside the Thames Valley?

Jobs where scale and planning count: full-height scaffolds for recladding and new windows, new-build scaffolding for main contractors, commercial refurbishments, heritage work and temporary roofs. Closer to home we have scaffolded a tower block in Slough, a long, fully netted block in Basingstoke and a new hotel in Guildford.

Can you scaffold a listed building in Clifton or the city centre?

Yes. Our heritage projects include a church tower in Newbury and an Oxford college. Before any ties go into a listed building, speak to Bristol City Council’s conservation officers, and we can send them the proposed tie positions first.

How far ahead should we book?

Early. Contracts this far from our yard are planned ahead, so share your programme with us at the start and we will tell you which start date we can commit to.
