A Barnsley scaffolding company that turns up when it says
Scaffolding sits at the start of almost every job at height. If the scaffolder is late, the roofer, builder or painter is late too; if it is left up after the work is done, it is in your way for no reason. So the things our customers mention most are simple: we arrive when agreed, the scaffold is safe and tidy, and it comes down as soon as the job is finished.
We are SGL Scaffolding Ltd, based in Wombwell and working across Barnsley and South Yorkshire. Whether it is a chimney scaffold on a terrace in Worsbrough, a full wrap on a new build in Penistone or access around plant on an industrial site, you get the same team and a free quotation first.

The scaffolder local trades book again
A lot of our scaffolds go up for other tradespeople. When a roofer, renderer or builder has a start date, the scaffold has to be ready that morning and gone when they finish. Several of our Google reviews come from trades who now use us on every job.

What customers say about SGL
Every review on our Google Business Profile so far is five stars. Here are a few, in short.
The scaffold for his roof repair went up on a Friday and was taken away the next Monday, as soon as the roofer had finished. An efficient firm he would happily point others to.
Ben M.Roof repairs at home
Came to price the job on the agreed day and turned up on time to build it. Fair price, polite scaffolders, and they even swept up before leaving, which he had not expected.
Sam S.Repointing a house
An outstanding firm that takes real care to keep the scaffolding safe and within the rules. Sam and Grant are thorough professionals.
Thaine B.Property developer
A helpful crew whose scaffolding know-how got him through a three-month extension and renovation, at a fair price.
Scott B.Extension and renovation
Uses SGL regularly for his rendering business, and every scaffold they have built for him has been right first time.
Joseph G.Rendering business
Good work, and they came back on the day to take the scaffold down, unlike other firms that kept him waiting days or even weeks.

Scaffolding in Barnsley: your questions
Straight answers to what people ask before booking a scaffolder.
How much does scaffolding cost in Barnsley?
It depends on the size and height of the job, how many sides of the building need covering, how easy the site is to get to and how long you need it. Access to one chimney for a few days costs far less than a full wrap-around for a three-month build. We look at the job and give you a free, no-obligation quotation, so you know the cost before anything is booked.
How long does scaffolding take to put up?
A straightforward job on a house is usually erected in a few hours. Larger commercial, industrial and new build jobs take longer and are often built in stages. When the work is finished, we come back and take it down promptly rather than leaving it standing.
How soon can you start?
In most cases we can be on site within a few days of you accepting the quotation. Call 07535 655436 and we will tell you when we can be with you.
Do I need a licence for scaffolding on the pavement?
If any part of it has to stand on the public pavement or road, a licence from Barnsley Council is needed before it goes up. A scaffold that stays on your own property does not need one. Mention it when we quote and we can talk it through.
Are you insured?
Yes. SGL Scaffolding Ltd carries £5 million public liability insurance, which covers the work we do for homeowners, businesses and other trades.
What kind of scaffolding do you put up?
Traditional tube and fitting scaffolding: steel tubes joined with fittings, with boards, guard rails and ladders for access. We add sheeting, temporary roofs and stair towers where the job needs them, and plan the layout around the building and the work being done.
Do you work for builders, roofers and other trades?
Yes. Much of our work is for tradespeople. Roofers, renderers, builders and property developers around Barnsley use us job after job, and we are ready when their work is due to start.
