Although exciting, managing your own construction projects can be a lot more stressful than you might have imagined. Planning permission will normally kick off your list of problems – neighbours and local inhabitants will be sure to try and slow down the progression of your work. Then you need to find a construction team you can rely on. With a recession biting further and further into our pockets, you need to find workers that offer you good value on their high price tag – ideally they should offer solid results in a quick timeframe. However, one of the most important, yet often overlooked aspects of construction is the hiring of scaffolding.
With so many other things to consider scaffolding is often put to the back of a person’s mind yet it is an aspect that holds within it great importance. From awareness in health and safety to environmentally concerns, you need a scaffolding company that offer more than just a solid structure. With a recession still forever present you’re going to need find one with the right price too. My advice would be to search for a company in your local area – they will be empathetic to your construction plans and could potentially be known by your neighbours or friends. Perfect for getting a reliable and detailed review of their service! Still not convinced? Consider the benefits of hiring a local scaffolding company listed below:
A personable service: Unlike their corporate rivals, local scaffolding companies will more than likely offer you a more personal service. As one of the company’s few projects you can rest assured their setup team will put all their focus on you and your plans.
Locally knowledgeable: A successful scaffolding company is one that prides itself on a strong awareness of health and safety risks – especially those regarding the public. A local company will know the area that you live in and will have dealt with buildings, streets and constructions in relation to your project. This local knowledge offers an enhanced level of public security as the team use their past knowledge to both erect and take down your scaffolding.
Safety first: A smaller local company relies on every client for business survival. Unlike corporate giants these companies take priority over every job they do. A lapse in public security could destroy their companies reputation – and with the credit crunch still among us that is something that they cannot afford. Due to this, local companies are more likely to offer extreme weather checks, security barriers, structure checks and a tidy work policy. These added extras could prove vital to the health and safety of your project.
When looking for scaffolding company in your local area you should be sure to search for testimonials on company websites. A detailed customer review will offer you an insightful look into how the company operates and what sort of service you can expect for your money. Remember, scaffolding is at the foundation of any successful construction project – don’t let its importance slip your mind.

Synergy Aluminium Scaffolding Tower
Cycling down from Kingsland Road bridge, one can often see two fully laden scaffold trucks skillfully parked on double-yellow lines close to the junction with Sussex Street providing passing cyclists and drivers with an interesting and fun hazard to negotiate as they start the working day. In fact, this newly-assimilated length of pavement..er, sorry..truck stop... is becoming somewhat of a mecca to the scaffolding trade often attracting various species of scaffolder to the cafe across the street. Here we can see King Scaffolding occupying their traditional spot and they are often joined by Northgate Scaffolding for a bacon butty and a cuppa. Oddly enough, they don't seem to be using the rest of the road and pavement leading up to the brow of the hill, which could provide extra parking for the rest of the fleet.
