Scaffolding Company
in Brighton
Safety First for Residential Projects
Residential scaffolding systems are crucial for homeowners engaging in property renovations and construction. Unlike commercial scaffolding, which is often used in large-scale projects, domestic frameworks are designed to meet the specific needs of smaller buildings. Ensuring safety when using these systems is paramount.
At Reebo Scaffolding, we guarantee the reliable erection of scaffolding systems for home renovations, repairs, and small building projects so you can work safely without concern. Our scaffolding company also specialises in designing and installing chimney scaffolding and temporary roofs for projects in and around the Brighton area.
The Key Safety Measures to Consider
When planning your renovation or construction project, the installation of support systems must be considered as important as design, procurement, and budgets.
- Hire a professional scaffolding company
- Obtain a risk assessment and method statement
- Ensure the proper erection and dismantling by trained professionals
- Adhere to load limits and distribute weight evenly
- Become familiar with all safety procedures
- Use safe access and egress with secure ladders or stair towers
- Be mindful of weather conditions and consider temporary roofs
- Ensure all scaffolding users are fully trained
- Use personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Utilise specialised chimney scaffolding for chimney work
- Arrange regular inspections and maintenance
Always hire reputable scaffolders to set up your framework. Our team at Reebo Scaffolding has the expertise to ensure that all scaffolding is erected safely and complies with local regulations in Brighton. We will conduct a thorough risk assessment in advance to identify potential hazards, such as overhead power lines, and take steps to mitigate risks.
All domestic and commercial scaffolding should be erected and dismantled by our trained professionals. Incorrect assembly can lead to structural failures and accidents. We follow manufacturer guidelines, ensure all components are securely fastened before use, and perform regular safety checks, particularly following bad weather conditions.
Please adhere to the load limits we specify in advance, as overloading scaffolding can cause the system to collapse. Distribute weight evenly and avoid placing heavy materials or equipment in concentrated areas. To prevent falls, we install guardrails and safety features on all open sides of the scaffolding, checking they are at the correct height and securely attached.
Commercial and residential scaffolding must be stable and level, so we use base plates and other stabilising measures to prevent sinking or tipping. If necessary, our scaffolders will temporarily attach the framework to the building. We will also provide safe access to the scaffolding using firmly secured ladders or stair towers.
Be mindful of weather conditions. High winds, rain, and ice can make scaffolding hazardous. Temporary roofs protect from weather elements and create a safer working environment. Our scaffolding company will also supply specialised frameworks if you plan to work on chimneys. Chimney scaffolding provides a stable platform and reduces the risk of falling from a height.
Training and Supervision
Reebo Scaffolding will ensure all users are fully trained and familiarised with the relevant scaffolding systems in advance. This is crucial for enforcing safety protocols and promptly addressing any issues. We also promote using personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, non-slip footwear, and harnesses if working at heights.
