Commercial Scaffolding in London Office Environments
London office buildings are rarely empty during working hours and street access is almost always restricted. And with staff and members of the public moving through the area every day, the scaffold must be planned and managed accordingly.
Pavement licences and flexible out-of-hours access agreements are standard considerations on this type of commercial scaffold project. Local authority compliance is non-negotiable, as is keeping disruption to a minimum for the businesses operating inside and around the building.
BT Scaffolding handle all of this as part of the service.
How We Manage Office Scaffolding Projects
B&T Scaffolding is run by directors Bili and Thomas, who handle projects personally, so you always have a direct point of contact who knows the job.
Here’s how our commercial scaffolding works:
Before work starts – We visit every site before quoting. Access, loading restrictions and permit requirements are assessed up front, and where a pavement licence is needed, we can manage the application.
On-site – All operatives hold CISRS/CSCS cards and are CITB-registered. Risk assessments and method statements are provided before work begins. Out-of-hours and weekend working is also available if needed.
On completion – Handover certificates and TG20 compliance documentation are issued as standard and ongoing inspection programmes are available if the project requires them.
