Scaffolding Driffield

What is Scaffolding?: A system for providing construction workers with a solid but short-term platform for carrying out their work on houses and other structures, scaffolding is usually made from steel tubes and fixtures which are bolted together and boarded with wood planks. Scaffolding also helps to make buildings safer for the general public and for the occupiers, sheltering them from falling objects and debris due to the work being done. Dependant upon what kind of work is being done, Health and Safety legislation will demand a risk assessment to confirm if scaffolding is essential.

To construct a scaffolding platform, it takes a number of different elements including: base plates, facade braces, midrails, standards, spade ends, scaffold boards, sole boards, ladder clamps, toeboards, limpet clamps, sills, diagonal braces, right angle clamps, swivel clamps, ledgers, ladders, putlogs, couplers, board clamps and guard rails.

Dependant upon what purpose you need a scaffold for, you will soon realise that there are a number of different types of scaffolding including tube and fitting scaffolding, shoring scaffolds, cantilever scaffolds, confined space scaffolds, trestle scaffolds, single scaffolding (bricklayers scaffolding), tower scaffolds, rolling scaffolds, suspended scaffolding, double scaffolds and patented scaffolding.

Regularly seen on houses in Driffield, temporary roofing is a widely used type of scaffold. Its primary purpose is to shield the property and the people working on it, from the elements. Office blocks and commercial premises can also gain protection from temporary roofing scaffolds, not just residential homes. These temporary roofing scaffolds can be put in as separate structures, or can actually be built into a pre-existing scaffold.
