Scaffolding Systems Explained

Our scaffolding services in Bexley usually focus on the design and erection of towers for a specific purpose. This can include maintenance, repairs or the provision of a safe working platform for builders and contractors. If you have used a scaffolding company in the past, you will understand that we build all services around detailed surveys, risk assessments and method statements.

You can use scaffolding contractors for each of the systems below:

Supported Scaffolding

When you think of the types of scaffolding you most commonly see in Bexley or the surrounding areas, this style often comes to mind. Constructed from the ground up and attached to the structure by qualified scaffolding erectors, a supported scaffold sees us form the design for the building and your end use.

By incorporating ladders and safety features, the construction of a supported scaffold system is at the core of all scaffolding services and is offered by most local scaffolding contractors as a standard choice for projects.

Birdcage Scaffolding

Scaffolding contractors will opt for a birdcage structure when a job needs to be undertaken at a specific height. Often used for painting and decorating or the repair of walls and ceilings inside Bexley properties, birdcage scaffolds feature a wider platform as the working area with easy up-and-down access.

Our scaffolding company often hires out this system to DIY enthusiasts, and to property maintenance companies in London and the Home Counties.

Hanging Scaffolding

Many clients from Bexley who collaborate with our scaffolding erectors trade as property maintenance companies, window cleaners or in sectors where it is common to work at height. Working on a property with multiple storeys, or on tower blocks, requires scaffolding erectors to use a system that will bypass the “from-the-ground-up” approach of a supported scaffolding structure.

Hanging scaffolding is used in situations where ground is uneven or unstable, attaching to the tops of buildings and hanging down (hence the name).

Cantilever Scaffolding

Fixed at one end of a property to leave the other side exposed, a scaffolding contractor will employ the cantilever system to deal with tight corners or as a means of bypassing an obstruction. A scaffolding company and its end users will often need to employ extra safety equipment when using scaffolding in a cantilever style, such as harnesses, due to certain areas being exposed.

It is also common to use our scaffolding services for cantilever scaffolds in the Bexley area to facilitate work on tower blocks, town halls and tall buildings.

Rolling Scaffolding

If you need a small but mobile structure, maybe to carry out work on a local property’s exterior, we supply Bexley residents with rolling scaffolding. This is a convenient but sometimes limited solution. Best used when there is a smaller weight load is needed and only suitable for certain surfaces, rolling scaffolds are still an important option in a scaffolding erector’s choice of structures.

Many homeowners use our scaffolding services to have rolling towers built so that contractors working internally can access all parts of a room.

We want you to feel at ease when you choose our scaffolding company for services in the Bexley area, and to use our scaffolding contractors with 100% confidence. Elco Scaffolding Ltd continually reviews its training policies to ensure all scaffolding erectors on our team are working in compliance with the latest trade legislation so that those using our structures are kept safe.

If you need to book in for scaffolding services, our impeccable safety record is worth your consideration and a great reason to choose Elco Scaffolding.
