Commercial scaffolding contracts in Southampton

Southampton is beyond our home area of Berkshire and the Thames Valley, so we take on work in the city project by project, generally larger commercial contracts. It is a straightforward drive: south down the A34 to Winchester, then on down the M3.

Much of the city centre was rebuilt after the war, and buildings of that age come up for refurbishment, recladding and new windows. There is student housing and new development too, and industrial buildings around the port. Our projects include a full-height scaffold on a tower block in Slough for new windows and cladding, and a fully netted recladding scaffold along a block in Basingstoke.

  • Post-war blocks

    Full-height, netted scaffolds for recladding and windows.

  • Port and industry

    Heavy-duty access for industrial and commercial buildings.

  • Down the A34 and M3

    A straightforward run south from our yard.

  • Paperwork first

    Design, risk assessment and method statement before we start.

FAQs

Scaffolding in Southampton: 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 Southampton?

Yes, one project at a time. Southampton is outside our home area of Berkshire and the Thames Valley, so the jobs we take on in the city are generally larger commercial contracts, booked ahead. Tell us about yours and we will let you know straight away if we can help.

Who issues scaffold licences in Southampton?

Within the city it is Southampton City Council; outside the boundary, in places such as Eastleigh and Totton, it is Hampshire County Council. A licence is needed for any scaffold on a pavement or road, and our survey will confirm whether yours needs one.

What projects do you take on in Southampton?

Larger contracts: full-height scaffolds for recladding and window replacement, new-build scaffolding for main contractors, commercial refurbishment and temporary roofs. Closer to home we have scaffolded a Slough tower block, a Basingstoke block for recladding and a new hotel in Guildford.

Can you supply designs and method statements?

Yes. Every contract comes with a scaffold design or TG20:21 compliance sheet, a risk assessment and a method statement, and we can send our insurance and accreditation documents for your pre-qualification. The company holds CHAS, Constructionline Gold, SSIP and CITB accreditations.

How much notice do you need?

The more the better. Share your programme when you first get in touch and we will be clear about the earliest date we could start.
