FAQ

We’re based in Dublin, but we cover projects across the whole of Ireland. Whether you’re in the city centre, a nearby town, or further afield, we can usually get a team to you quickly.

Our main areas include Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow, Meath, and surrounding counties, but we also take on national projects when required. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, just get in touch and we’ll confirm straight away.

Yes, absolutely. We work with homeowners, builders, and business owners on projects of all sizes. For domestic work, we handle everything from small extensions and roof repairs to full home renovations. On the commercial side, we provide large-scale scaffolding solutions for offices, retail spaces, factories, and public buildings.

Each setup is designed to meet the specific demands of your site, whether that means light-duty access or heavy-duty support structures.

We know time matters on every project, especially when schedules are tight. Once we’ve completed your site survey and finalised the design, we aim to deliver and erect the scaffolding as soon as possible — often within a few days.

For urgent work or emergency scaffolding, we can sometimes respond within 24 hours, depending on location and availability. We’ll always confirm exact timings with you before we start, so there are no surprises.

Yes — we manage the whole process from start to finish. Once your project is complete, our team will return to carefully dismantle and remove all scaffolding materials.

We tidy as we go, leaving your site clean, clear, and ready for the next stage of work. You don’t need to arrange anything separately — it’s all included in your service package.

We supply and install a full range of scaffolding systems to suit every type of project. That includes traditional tube and fitting scaffolding, system modular scaffolds, suspended platforms, cantilever scaffolds, hoist gantries, and access towers.

Each type has its own advantages, and we’ll help you choose the one that fits your site best. For example, tube and fitting offers flexibility for complex shapes, while system scaffolding saves time on larger builds.

Yes, always. A site survey helps us understand exactly what you need and ensures the design is both safe and efficient. During the visit, we’ll look at your site layout, access points, ground conditions, and any nearby hazards.

This allows us to create an accurate quote and a setup that works perfectly for your project. It also means fewer adjustments later, keeping your build on schedule.

Safety is central to everything we do. Our scaffolding meets all current Irish and UK safety standards, including the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Regulations.

Every structure is designed, built, and inspected by trained professionals who understand the legal and technical requirements. We carry out regular checks during installation and throughout the project to ensure your scaffold remains fully compliant.

Yes, we can. For larger construction projects or multi-storey buildings, hoist gantries make a big difference. They allow materials and equipment to be lifted safely between levels without manual strain.

We’ll design and fit the hoist system as part of your scaffolding layout so it integrates smoothly and supports the overall workflow on your site.

Not every site has ideal ground to build on, and that’s something we plan for. During the survey, we assess the soil and surface conditions. If the ground can’t support a standard scaffold, we can use base plates, spreader boards, or cantilever systems to distribute the weight safely. Our designs always take stability into account so your scaffolding remains secure in all conditions.

Yes, we offer both. Some clients only need scaffolding for a week or two, while others require it for months on a large development. We tailor the hire period to suit you.

If your project runs longer than planned, we can easily extend your hire period so you’re never left without safe access.

Irish weather can be unpredictable, and we’re prepared for that. Our team carries out inspections after severe weather to check for any movement or damage.

If strong winds or heavy rain cause issues, we’ll repair, reinforce, or adjust the structure quickly to make sure everything remains safe and secure.

Yes — we do this kind of work all the time. In built-up areas like Dublin city centre, space is often limited. We design scaffolding systems that fit neatly within your available space, without blocking footpaths or access routes.

We also liaise with local authorities where needed to make sure all permits and safety measures are in place.

Our quotes are clear and transparent. They usually include all materials, delivery, assembly, regular inspections, and dismantling once the work is done.

If your site requires additional safety features, design drawings, or specialist components, we’ll discuss that upfront so you know exactly what’s covered.

Before we arrive, it helps if you can clear the area where the scaffolding will be set up. Make sure vehicles or loose materials are moved out of the way, and let us know about any access restrictions.

If permits or permissions are needed, we can guide you through that process. Once everything’s ready, we’ll handle the rest.

Yes, in most cases we can modify or extend your existing scaffold if your project changes. We’ll assess the structure and design any adjustments to make sure they’re safe and compliant.

It’s always best to call us first rather than making any changes yourself, so we can ensure the scaffold remains fully secure.

Yes — for larger or complex builds, we can provide full design drawings, calculations, and compliance documentation.

These are especially useful for building control, health and safety inspections, or insurance purposes. Everything is done to the latest industry standards and signed off by qualified professionals.

Yes, we provide scaffolding for all types of roofing work, from simple tile replacements to full re-roofing projects. We design safe, stable access platforms that give your roofing team room to work comfortably and securely at height.

Our systems include handrails, toe boards, and edge protection for maximum safety.

We always do our best to minimise disruption. If the scaffold needs to be close to a neighbouring wall or boundary, we’ll plan the layout carefully and communicate with anyone affected.

We can also install safety barriers or debris netting to protect nearby property. Our team is professional, considerate, and respectful of every site we work on.

Getting a quote is simple. You can fill in the quick enquiry form on our website with your contact details and a short description of your project.

Once we receive your message, a member of our team will get back to you to arrange a site visit or discuss the details over the phone. Quotes are completely free and there’s no obligation to proceed.

We carry out routine inspections throughout your project to make sure the scaffolding stays in top condition. All fittings are checked for tightness, platforms are kept level, and safety rails remain secure.

If adjustments are needed as the work progresses, we’ll handle them immediately. Our focus is always on safety — for you, your team, and everyone on site.
