Five activities that require scaffolding
Have you ever counted how many buildings you pass on the way to work in the morning that currently have scaffolding on or around them? Probably not, but a fair few I would guess!
More importantly, who wants them and why would they want them?
There are numerous activities that require scaffolding for safety and accessibility reasons, so let's take a look at five activities that require scaffolding.
Scaffolding for building inspections
When checking the safety and structure of buildings, the inspection may require safety equipment to be installed. Scaffolding structures enable a review of different parts of a building that could be located 100’s of metres above ground level.
Scaffolding for commercial window cleaning
Commercial buildings and other tall structures may require scaffolding due to how high the windows may be. In a lot of cases, a ladder just won't do! Scaffolding not only makes the job safer it makes it a more comfortable workplace for the window cleaners.
Scaffolding for general building repairs
Scaffolding can provide a safer environment by eliminating risks of falling for builders or other workers while working at height with general building repairs for example fixing guttering or roof tiles. Scaffolding forms a stable area to conduct general building repairs.
Scaffolding For Home Improvements
When a landlord or homeowner decides they need a bigger kitchen, loft extension or even undertake extensive work on their roof they often call in the services of a reliable scaffolding company to erect a scaffolding structure to ensure the safety of the workforce and to enable the works to be completed. It could be an access tower or frame and brace-style scaffolding along the length of a wall.
While not all domestic building works require scaffolding if you are unsure make sure you contact us at Highview Scaffolding, where we can advise you more.
Scaffolding for painters and decorators
When working at height, painters and decorators need a stable area to not only place their tools but also undertake their job. Scaffolding helps provide this and greatly reduces the risk of injury.
