Scaffolding in Stone

Working in Stone

Stone is a canal town on the Trent & Mersey, with Victorian terraces and older brick buildings around the High Street and newer estates on the edges of town. The A34, A51 and junction 15 of the M6 are all close by.

In Stone town centre, scaffolds often go up against shops and listed frontages on busy streets, while out on the estates it is mostly roofing and extension work. Scaffolds on Stone's High Street and narrow side streets need careful planning around shops and pedestrians, and pavement scaffolds need a highway licence.

For Stone (ST15), planning applications are handled by Stafford Borough 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 up the A51 past Great Haywood, roughly fifteen miles from our base.

How we work

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.

We work for both housing and commercial clients, which means we are used to tight sites, live roads, neighbouring properties and busy programmes. The same team often scaffolds for Staff4dshire Roofing Specialists and Margav Energy, so we understand what roofers and solar installers need from their access.
