Scaffolding Services in Barnsley
As a Barnsley scaffolding company, we put up domestic, commercial, industrial and new build scaffolding, temporary roofs and stair towers, with hire periods from a few days to several months.
Domestic scaffolding in Barnsley
Most of the scaffolds we put up are on people’s homes. A roofer needs to get to the ridge, a builder is repointing a gable, the windows upstairs are being replaced, or the walls are being rendered. Whatever the job, it needs a safe working platform at the right height, set up so you can still get in and out of the house.
We look at the house, talk to you or your tradesperson about what the work involves, and design the scaffold around it: which elevations, how high, where the ladder goes and how many lifts of boards. It comes down as soon as the job is finished, so it is not left standing outside your house for weeks.
Typical jobs
- Roof repairs and new roofs
- Chimney work
- Extensions and loft conversions
- Rendering, repointing and painting
On every house
- A free quotation first
- Access kept to your doors
- Boards and guard rails at each level
- Taken down promptly after
Commercial scaffolding
Commercial buildings bring their own problems: a shop that has to stay open, staff and customers walking underneath, a car park that is still in use, or a frontage onto a busy pavement. The scaffold has to give the trades safe access without stopping the business from running.
Our commercial scaffolds go up on high street shops, office blocks, pubs, cafes, schools and business units across Barnsley and South Yorkshire, for roof repairs, new signage, painting, cladding and general maintenance. Where a scaffold has to stand on the public pavement, a licence from the council is needed, so talk to us about it when we quote.
Commercial work
- Shopfronts and terraces
- Offices and schools
- Pubs, cafes and restaurants
- Car parks and yards
Planned around you
- Entrances kept open
- Sheeting where it is needed
- Erected to suit your trades
- Removed when they are done
Industrial scaffolding
Factories, warehouses and manufacturing units often need access to places that were never designed to be reached: a roof light, a run of pipework, the top of a piece of plant or a high wall above machinery. Industrial scaffolding has to be strong, stable and built around what is already there.
We erect scaffolding on industrial sites for roof repairs, maintenance, inspections and larger building projects, and we can sheet it to keep weather and dust in or out. Tell us what the work is and what is on the site, and we will plan the scaffold to suit. Where a job runs over weeks or months, we come back to alter the scaffold as the work moves on.
Industrial sites
- Factories and warehouses
- Plant and pipework
- Manufacturing units
- Industrial roofs
Built for the job
- Heavy-duty tube and fittings
- Sheeting where needed
- Access designed around plant
- Short or long term
New build scaffolding for builders and developers
On a new build the scaffold grows with the building. It starts at the first lift for the bricklayers, goes up a lift at a time as the walls rise, then gives the roofers their platform at the eaves, before the final external work is finished and it all comes down.
Builders, roofers, renderers and property developers around Barnsley use us job after job, and several of our Google reviews come from them. Timing matters on a build, so we turn up when we say we will, including for the strike at the end. Send us the drawings or tell us the plot sizes, and we will price the scaffold for the whole build.
Through the build
- Brickwork lifts
- Roofing at the eaves
- Gables and chimneys
- External finishing
Who we work for
- Builders
- Property developers
- Roofing firms
- Rendering firms
Temporary roof scaffolding
When a roof is stripped off for replacement, a loft conversion or major repairs, the house below is open to the weather. A temporary roof is a covered frame built on top of the scaffold, so the work can carry on in the rain and the rooms underneath stay dry.
We build temporary roofs and sheeted scaffolds for homes and commercial buildings, sized to the job and fixed to stand up to the wind. They come down once the new roof is watertight. If you are planning a loft conversion or a new roof, ask your builder or roofer whether a temporary roof makes sense, or ring us and we will talk it through.
Used for
- Roof replacements
- Loft conversions
- Flat roof work
- Fire or storm repairs
What you get
- A covered working area
- Sheeted sides where needed
- Work carries on in the rain
- Dry rooms below
Scaffolding hire, short or long term
Scaffolding hire from us always includes the scaffolders: we deliver it, erect it, check it while it is up and take it away at the end. A roof repair might only need the scaffold for a few days, while an extension and renovation can need it for months.
The quotation covers the hire period you need, and if the job overruns, just let us know. When the work is done, call us and we come back to strike it, rather than leaving it up for days or weeks. Homeowners, builders, roofers and businesses all hire from us on the same terms.
Hire periods
- A few days for a repair
- Weeks for a refurbishment
- Months for a build
- Extended if the job overruns
Included
- Delivery and erection
- Checks while it is up
- Changes as the job moves on
- Dismantling and collection
Stair towers and bespoke access
Some jobs do not suit a straight run of scaffold along a wall. A tall gable end, a narrow gap between buildings, a roof over a conservatory or a site where people need a staircase rather than a ladder all call for a scaffold designed for that spot.
We build stair towers with guard rails, scaffolds up gable ends and chimneys, and access around awkward corners, steps and slopes. Send us a photo of the area and tell us what needs to be reached, and we will work out the safest way to get your trades up there. We will also tell you plainly if a simpler scaffold would do the job just as well.
Bespoke access
- Stair towers
- Gable end towers
- Chimney scaffolds
- Narrow or sloping sites
Ways to start
- Send us a photo
- Tell us the height
- Say what needs reaching
- We quote for free
