Scaffolding Hire for Commercial Projects in Brighton, East Sussex

This is the easiest part. Simply give us a call and we will send over one or more of our specialists to survey your site. After talking to you about your project, time and scales, and understanding your requirements, we can provide you a detailed quote. Once that’s done, we will mobilise to have your scaffolding set up as soon as you need it.

We are very proud of the fact that our scaffolding services are of the highest standards, deliver best results, and check all safety boxes. We are fully insured and utilise best practices so as to minimise possible risk to person and property.

In the unlikely event our activities cause damage to the roof or any other part of your property, you can be rest assured that we will act professionally and work with you to have the issue resolved. As professionals, we can say with confidence that things rarely go wrong while we are catering to the needs of our clients. But when the unexpected occurs, we will step up and do the needful to set things right.

The type of scaffolding used will depend on the unique nature of your project. Because we are experienced professionals, you can be rest assured that the most suitable type of scaffolding will always be provided.

Safety plays a big role in how we deliver our services. To prevent accidents such as falls while erecting your scaffolding, we make use of an advanced guard rail system or our workers wear safety harnesses. In necessary scenarios, a combination of both may be used.

This depends on your home insurance policy as well as your insurer. To verify from your insurer whether or not your home is covered, you will need to speak to your insurer. If you need to inform the insurance company, we will provide you all the needed details and specifications required concerning the scaffold that is to be installed.

A licence or permit is typically only needed if your scaffolding will be on any public pavement or highway. If that is the case, we will apply for and acquire the permit on your behalf.

Our team members all possess CISRS cards. The card is proof that they have passed the relevant qualifications and assessments, and have received formal training in the field of scaffolding. This training would have been provided by industry-approved training providers. When your scaffolding is erected by a CISRS card carrier, you can enjoy greater peace of mind concerning the scaffolding’s safety and efficiency.

We advise that you always hire scaffolding specialists so that you can be certain of your scaffolding’s safety and reliability. This is important because working at height comes with potentially fatal risks. By working with scaffolding experts who know what they are doing, the attached risks are greatly minimised.

We wouldn’t recommend it as attempting this can be dangerous. Also, the terms of our service will specify that any alterations have to be carried out by an JL Scaffolding technician so as to ensure safety and make sure it is covered by our insurance.

The amount of time it will take to erect scaffolding will depend on a variety of factors such as size of the scaffolding, materials used to make the scaffolding, and so on. After you tell us your specifications for the scaffolding you require, we can provide you an estimate regarding time.

Your presence onsite isn’t necessary as long as we can gain access to where you would like to have the scaffolding erected. But if we can’t, it will be best if you are around to let us in.

In the unlikely event that something goes wrong with your scaffolding, it is covered. We have public liability insurance to the value of £10 million.

You can have the scaffolding for as long as you need. We will discuss how long you expect the project to take with you before we start so that we can provide you with an accurate scaffold hire rate.

Quality scaffolding is either made from steel or aluminium. If you require scaffolding for a short period, then aluminium scaffolding should be sufficient. It is lightweight, less expensive and easy to erect. But if your project is going to take a long time and will be labour intensive, then steel will be a better choice because of its sturdiness and resilience. But bear in mind that steel scaffolding costs more and takes longer to setup.

There’s no need to pay to have scaffolding removed as our hire rate already covers the cost of scaffold removal.

You can use ladders but the fact is that they don’t offer as much stability and safety as scaffolding. Compared to ladders, scaffolding has a more stable base which makes its far safer and less likely to slip or topple over.

With scaffolding, you can also get more work done faster. This is because scaffolding offers a larger area to work. Whereas with a ladder, you would have to keep moving the ladder to cover only a small area. Also, unlike ladders that require another party to hold them in place, scaffolds can firmly stand on their own.

If your scaffolding was erected a while back, then it is important to have its structural integrity looked at. Regular inspections of scaffolding ensures that it is still safe for use and doesn’t pose a danger to anyone. Inspections are especially necessary if the scaffolding has been moved, it has been under heavy rain, wind, snow or other adverse weather, or alterations have been made to it.

We advise that you have your scaffolding inspected at least once a week to ensure its safety and security.

Gladly! If the scaffolding that’s set up for you is unable to fulfil the purpose for which you require it, that counts as a waste of money and time. We can provide you with professional guidance to ensure you get the right kind of scaffolding for your project and any other expert insights you may need.

You could, but we wouldn’t advise it if you are not a trained and certified professional with the necessary tools.

Instead of undertaking the dangerous endeavour of erecting scaffolding yourself at the risk of hurting yourself or others and possibly damaging property, contact JL Scaffolding in Brighton – the scaffolding specialists you can trust.

If you notice someone suspicious on a scaffolding outside your property, immediately draw the attention of the foreman onsite to it. If it’s after working hours and there’s no one around, please call the police.

For tighter security, access ladders at ground floor level will be taken off and locked away after work hours every day.

Yes they can as long as the proper permits and safety precautions are in place. If you need a scaffold on a main road, we will provide sufficient safety procedures, including lights to ensure the scaffolding is clearly visible to approaching vehicles. A local authority street licence will be applied for and acquired on your behalf by us.

We can also provide scaffold alarms for scaffolds that need to be installed close to schools and similar sites.

If it is installed by experts like us, yes! When scaffolding is professionally installed, it can sit safely on any surface, including uneven, soft, or sloping ground.

If you have a garden around where the scaffolding is installed, it may cause some damage due to the softness of the ground.

We will be more than happy to provide you a no obligation quote completely free of charge as long as you provide us with sufficient information about your project. But for a more accurate quote, it will be best if we first survey the property on which you need the scaffold.

In most cases, you will not need a permit before you can legally have scaffolding installed. But if the scaffolding or any part of it is going to extend to the path of a public right of way, for instance a footpath or a pavement, you will likely require a permit.

By working with JL Scaffolding Brighton, rest assured that we will get any required permits on your behalf if necessary. To ensure no regulations are breached, the necessary permits will be received before any work commences on your property.
