Specialist Scaffolding for Historic Buildings
Historic buildings often require a different approach to modern construction projects. Irregular elevations, delicate architectural features, restricted access and unusual roof structures can all influence how scaffolding needs to be designed and erected.
Our experienced scaffolders can assess the individual requirements of the project and develop an appropriate access solution for the work being undertaken.
We can provide scaffolding for a variety of heritage and restoration projects, including:
- Historic and period properties
- Churches and places of worship
- Listed and traditional buildings
- Historic houses and estates
- Roof restoration and replacement
- Chimney repairs and restoration
- Stonework and masonry repairs
- External decoration
- Window restoration
- Building conservation and maintenance
- Temporary roof requirements
Scaffolding for Restoration & Conservation Projects
Restoration projects often involve multiple specialist trades working across different areas of a building.
We can provide access solutions that allow roofers, stonemasons, decorators, conservation specialists and other trades to work safely and efficiently.
Our team can liaise with principal contractors and project managers throughout the project, ensuring the scaffolding solution reflects the access requirements of the work being undertaken.
Where a project presents a more unusual access challenge, our extensive experience with different scaffold configurations allows us to develop a solution appropriate to the structure and site.
Carefully Planned Access Solutions
Heritage scaffolding isn’t simply about gaining access to a building.
The position of scaffold standards, ties, working platforms and access points can all require careful consideration where historic architecture or unusual structural features are involved.
Our experienced team takes a considered approach to each project, working with the wider project team to establish a safe and practical access solution while taking the existing structure into account.
