Scaffolding in Tamworth

Working in Tamworth

Tamworth has its Norman castle and historic centre, but most homes date from the town's post-war expansion, with large estates at Glascote, Wilnecote, Amington and Belgrave, and newer development around the edges of town near the A5 and M42.

On Tamworth'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. Tamworth's estates mostly need straightforward domestic scaffolds, while the town centre and retail parks bring commercial work.

For Tamworth (B77, B78 and B79), planning applications are handled by Tamworth 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 about seventeen miles away through Lichfield.

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.
