Scaffolding Aldeburgh

What is Scaffolding?: A system that permits builders to work safely and securely at height and reach what are otherwise unreachable places on houses, office blocks and other structures, scaffolding is made up of a network of steep tubes and fixtures which when clamped together form a safe and strong platform from which to work. And it is not only construction workers who get protection from the scaffolding, since it also shields the general public and those living or working in the building, from falling objects and other possible hazards.

A scaffold is built using several different sections that may include: base plates, midrails, ledgers, sills, spade ends, standards, putlogs, board clamps, scaffold boards, swivel clamps, facade braces, guard rails, ladders, sole boards, couplers, limpet clamps, ladder clamps, diagonal braces, toeboards and right angle clamps.

Then again, if it is a business building or premises that's being worked on, any one of the above styles may be required.

This scaffolding licence is going to be needed if you are erecting access towers, hoardings, pedestrian barriers, scaffolding, stagings or if you are siting contractors plant or a waste skip.
