Education and public sector
Scaffolding planned around the people on site
Schools, colleges and public buildings stay busy while work goes on around them. Pupils, students, staff and visitors all need safe routes past the scaffold, and the most disruptive work often has to fit into holidays or quieter hours. We have scaffolded a school building in Camberley and college buildings in Oxford, and our clients include Eton College, Shiplake College, Reading Borough Council and Slough Council. Every scaffold is planned around how the site is used, secured when the site is unattended and inspected throughout the hire.

Installs and dismantles scheduled for holidays or quieter hours where the programme allows.
Secured when unattended
Access to the scaffold secured when work stops for the day.
