Scaffolding is a fantastic way of gaining access to hard to reach area of your home. Not only this, but it’s absolutely necessary for all new builds. This includes domestic, commercial and industrial. With this in mind, we thought it would be helpful to expand upon these areas. As a result, we’ve put together this comparison guide to the different types of scaffolding available, so you know which is best for your upcoming projects.
Domestic
Domestic scaffolding is the basic structure you’ll see around residential areas. Not only are they fairly basic and straightforward to construct, but they’re perfect for simple jobs such as painting, window fitting and guttering work. This is by far the most common type of structure you’ll be exposed to but isn’t the only type of service available.
Commercial
Commercial scaffolding is similar in shape and construction to domestic styles, but tends to be on a much larger scale. What’s more, these types of erections tend to be more prevalent in public spaces. Therefore, they require more risk assessment and safety features such as netting. If you have an office building in a busy town centre, then this will most likely require commercial services.
Industrial
Industrial scaffolding is generally used in large scale industrial works. Buildings such as factories and warehouses can require sprawling erections that cover complex and broad areas. This type of work is often inspected at regular intervals to ensure there are no issues. Working at heights like this on such a scale can come with even more risks than usual.
Scaffolding Towers
Scaffolding towers are the perfect way to reach one specific spot on a building without wrapping around an entire building. They’re less intrusive, quick to install and convenient for tight areas and one-off jobs such as chimney work. There is a height limit to this type of structure, so be sure to speak with your scaffolder about whether a tower is possible.
Roof Scaffolding
Roof scaffolding is a structure created to span a roof. This can be particularly useful for steep pitches and work on multiple areas. If your property has multiple chimneys and needs some repair work, but isn’t strong enough or safe enough to stand on, then you may need roof scaffolding.
