Scaffold Support Hire in Brighton, East Sussex

Yes, as long as the needed permits have been received and proper safety precautions are in place. If you want a scaffold erected on a main road, we will put sufficient safety measures in place, including lights to ensure the scaffolding is clearly visible to approaching vehicles. A local authority street licence will also be applied for and acquired by us on your behalf.

We can install an alarm system on the scaffold that will sound during unauthorised use. The scaffold in such a scenario is typically alarmed at first floor level and activated for protection after work hours. For tighter security, the access ladders will be taken from ground level and locked away after work hours every day.

Scaffolding should regularly be checked to confirm its structural integrity and safety. Regular inspections of scaffolds ensure that it is safe for use and doesn’t pose a danger to anyone. Inspections are especially necessary if the scaffolding has been moved or altered in any way. It is also ideal to have it inspected if it has been exposed to heavy rain, wind, snow or other adverse weather conditions.

We recommend that your scaffolding be inspected at least once a week to ensure its safety and security.

Our scaffolding services are of the highest standards and check all the safety boxes. We operate in line with all industry best practices and are fully insured to minimise the risk to person and property.

As experienced specialists, we can confidently say things rarely go wrong while serving our clients. In the unlikely event that our operations damage your roof or other parts of your property, know that we will act professionally and work with you to have the damage rectified. When the unexpected occurs, we will step up and do the right thing.

Ladders are an option, but the truth is they don’t offer as much flexibility or stability as scaffolding. Scaffolding has a more stable base compared to ladders, which makes it far safer and less likely to slip or fall over.

Also, you can get more work done faster with scaffolding thanks to the fact that the platform offers a larger area to work. With a ladder, you would have to move it frequently to cover only a small area, which makes it inconvenient, time consuming and labour intensive. Also, unlike ladders that require another party to hold them in place, scaffolds can firmly stand on their own.

How long it will take to erect your scaffolding will depend on its size, the site, materials to be used, and other factors. We can provide you with an accurate estimate regarding time after you provide us with relevant details concerning the scaffolding you require.

With us, getting the scaffolding you need when you need it is easy. Simply give us a call and we will send over a specialist to survey your site. After talking to you about your project and understanding your requirements, we can provide you a detailed quote. Once that’s done, we will mobilise to have your scaffolding set up where and when you need it in Brighton.

If you notice someone suspicious or someone who doesn’t belong on your scaffolding, promptly talk to the onsite foreman about it. If it’s after working hours, please contact the police.

This depends on insurance policy and insurer covering your home. To confirm if your insurer effectively covers your home against scaffolding damage, you will need to speak to your insurer. When the time comes to inform your insurance company, we will provide you with all the details and specifications required concerning the to-be erected scaffold.

Safety is an essential part of how we deliver our services. We make use of an advanced guard rail system or our workers wear safety harnesses to prevent accidents such as falls while erecting scaffolding. In some instances, a combination of both may be used.

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, the risks are greatly mitigated.

The ideal scaffolding for a project, tube or system, will depend on various factors. Because we are experienced professionals, you can rest assured that the type of scaffolding that makes a perfect fit for your project will always be used.

A CISRS card is proof that a person has received formal training and passed the relevant assessments required to become a certified scaffolder. Said training would have been provided by industry-approved training providers. Our team members all possess CISRS cards. When your scaffolding is erected by a CISRS card carrier, you can enjoy greater peace of mind with the scaffolding’s safety and efficiency.

After you have completed your project and let us know, we will immediately arrange to have the scaffolding dismantled and taken down. This is to ensure that you can begin enjoying the improvements made to your property.

In the unlikely event 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.

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

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.

Quality scaffolding is typically made of steel or aluminium. Aluminium scaffolding is ideal for short term use, while steel scaffolding is more suited to projects that will take longer and will involve heavier use. But bear in mind that steel scaffolding costs more and takes longer to set up.

Aluminium 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.

We are available for free scaffolding consultations. It’s important that you get scaffolding that’s a perfect fit for your needs, as using the incorrect scaffolding can lead to 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 insight you may need.

We wouldn’t recommend removing or altering scaffolding yourself. Attempting to alter or dismantle scaffolding can be dangerous in a number of ways especially if you don’t have the right tools or skill set. The terms of our service also stipulate that all alterations must be carried out by an JL Scaffolding technician to ensure safety and make sure insurance cover isn’t voided.

A licence or permit is usually only required if the scaffolding will be on or extend to a public pavement or highway. In such a scenario, we will apply for and acquire the necessary permits on your behalf.

We can provide you with scaffolding that is safe and secure regardless of the state of the ground. We are able to deliver such scaffolding thanks to adjustable vertical components that can tackle and compensate for uneven, sloping, or rugged ground.

If you are worried about the ground scaffolding will be erected on, please contact us to arrange for a site survey and to satisfactorily settle all your concerns.

Once installed, scaffolding should be inspected on a regular basis. Inspection also needs to be done immediately after scaffolding has been modified or moved to ensure its structural integrity and safety. If installed scaffolding has also been in adverse weather such as high winds, heavy rain or snow, a thorough inspection afterwards is advisable.

You can arrange for us to inspect scaffolding as often as you like, but we typically perform thorough inspections once a week to ensure the safety of workers on your site and your project.

You could try, but we don’t advise it. Scaffolding erection requires specialised skills, experience, and tools. Attempting to erect scaffolding without any of these places you, the property, and everyone on the property at great risk. Instead of undertaking the risky endeavour of erecting scaffolding yourself, contact JL Scaffolding Brighton – the scaffolding specialists you can trust for safe scaffolding.
