Types Of Scaffolding In Essex
City & Urban provide both domestic scaffolding and commercial scaffolding in Essex and beyond and we specialise in the following types of scaffolding:
Find out how much your scaffolding will cost for free with no obligation.
Independent Scaffolding in Essex – Commonly used for roofing, painting and repointing work, independent scaffolding works on domestic and commercial buildings. Consisting of two rows, each row parallel to the building and the inner row close to the wall, this type of scaffolding enables the easy access needed for exterior property maintenance work.
Tower Scaffolding in Essex – Mostly used for commercial building projects, Tower Scaffolding keeps workers safe and stable when working at heights. A tower scaffold is made up of four parallel trusses forming a box-like structure to create a sturdy platform from which to carry out maintenance or renovation work.
Temporary Roof Cover in Essex – Temporary roofs are commonly used in one of two circumstances. Either to facilitate a loft conversion where a roof may be left exposed, or when repair work is needed on a roof. For example, if the roof has been damaged in a storm or by fire. The primary purpose of a temporary roof cover is to prevent water from entering the building and to protect it from any further damage. Often a roof cover is needed in an emergency and so our highly responsive team will expertly provide and fit your roof cover in Essex with speed and efficiency, giving you peace of mind that your building or home is protected.
System Scaffolding in Essex – We are specialists in system scaffolding and can supply clients with progressive services able to meet the requirements of large or more complex construction projects. As expert scaffolders in Essex, our team are able to design and construct standard and bespoke scaffolding systems to fit any building. System Scaffolding is more adaptable than traditional scaffolding and, as such, won’t limit the work scope.
