Finding a Scaffolding Contractor in Havering

Finding the best team of scaffolding contractors in Havering will not need you to have detailed knowledge about what a company does. It simply requires you to be vigilant when browsing through websites or when you are talking to a scaffolding company over the telephone. Information is important, but so is a proactive approach to making sure any promises made can be kept.

Here are some of the key considerations for a client:

Qualifications

While a scaffolding company with an undertrained or unqualified team won’t be in the trade too long before shutting down or failing to attract business, it is still important to find out whether the scaffolding erectors that are on your shortlist have the right accreditations and qualifications. The Elco Scaffolding team, for example, is fully trained, CITB accredited and has its CISRS cards.

Competition in our industry is strong so it is worth keeping on your toes. If a scaffolding contractor you are talking to uses terminology that you are not familiar with, do some extra research and find out if they are credible or not.

Using an underqualified scaffolding company in Havering can soon become a nightmare for the client. Be careful of hire companies too, which are highly unlikely to know how to properly design and erect a structure. When working at height, there are too many risks associated with hiring an unproven team.

Time in the Trade

Another easy way to figure out if you are on the right track with a scaffolding contractor is finding out how long they have been in business, and how much industry experience their scaffolding erectors have. While experience isn’t a guarantee that the work you receive will be 100% up to standard, it is still one of the more reliable metrics and should help to inspire trust and confidence.

The Elco Scaffolding team has over 15 years of experience, and we provide a full range of domestic and commercial scaffolding services to the Havering area. This experience can provide clients with welcome peace of mind.

Unproven newcomers arrive in the industry every year with many not lasting long due to inferior approaches to workmanship and customer service.

Insurance and Reputation

A simple question to think about, but one that is essential when looking for a scaffolding company, is whether it is insured or not. If it isn’t, you should avoid using their scaffolding services because you could be left with bills to pay if an illegally operating scaffolding contractor causes damage to a build, or if substandard workmanship has led to the injury of a contractor working onsite.

In the past, you had to rely on a hunch to see if a scaffolding contractor was reliable or if their scaffolding services were of an acceptable standard.

Today, there are plenty of online resources which track the reputations of all sectors, from scaffolding erectors to accountants. Check out online reviews or ask family and friends about a scaffolding company’s services in Havering, and only agree to use a service provider with an established local reputation.
