Scaffolding in Hednesford

Working in Hednesford

Hednesford sits between Cannock and the Chase, with former colliery terraces near the centre, post-war estates at Pye Green and Rawnsley, and a good deal of newer housing on the edges of town, all within sight of Hednesford Hills.

On Hednesford's estates the typical job is a two-lift scaffold to a semi for a re-roof, render or solar install, often with a shared drive or neighbour's garden to consider. Hednesford's hillier streets and terraced rows mean scaffold bases and ties need extra care, and pavement scaffolds need a licence from Staffordshire County Council.

For Hednesford (WS12), planning applications are handled by Cannock Chase District Council, and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs by Staffordshire County Council. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is only around six miles from our yard over the Chase.

How we work

Clear communication matters: you will know when the scaffold is going up, who to call if it needs altering and when it will come down. Our own fleet means that if a programme changes, we can usually move with it.

Before erecting anything we look at the ground, the building, any overhead cables and how the scaffold will be used, then agree the layout, number of lifts and loading requirements with you. Scaffolds are inspected and handed over in writing, and we come back to adapt them as the job progresses.
