Different Forms of Scaffolding in Tunbridge Wells | High Class Scaffolding

Supported Scaffolding – The type of scaffolding we most commonly encounter on our daily travels around Tunbridge Wells. Built from the ground up by our seasoned scaffolding contractors, they’re tailored to the property they’re attached to. Highly adaptable, supported structures can deal with the lion’s share of situations where work at height is required, and this is why 99.9% of scaffolding companies offer this amongst their scaffolding services; only the most specialised might eschew it to provide very niche forms of support. Supported scaffolding can take a good deal of weight, and our scaffolding erectors can even implement measures to deal with uneven or unstable ground.

Birdcage Scaffolding – These single-level work platforms are often employed to decorate, refinish or construct the upper levels of properties’ interiors. For this reason, they’re an essential technique for scaffolding companies to have in their playbooks. Birdcage scaffolding can support a good number of workers operating simultaneously, and are named as such due to their unique aesthetic – not dissimilar to a birdcage!

Hanging Scaffolding – How, you might ask, do scaffolding contractors deal with situations where ground is simply too unstable for supported scaffolding or birdcage scaffolding to be constructed? Another question might be how do scaffolding contractors enable activity at great heights? Such as in the case of window cleaning the tops of Tunbridge Wells high-rises. The answer: hanging scaffolding. This is carefully designed to be attached to the tops of buildings, allowing individuals or multiple workers to work safely even at these slightly stomach churning heights! Not all scaffolding erectors choose to offer hanging scaffolding as an option, but we see it as an essential part of the scaffolding services we provide the Tunbridge Wells area.

Cantilever Scaffolding – This form of scaffolding is also used in the case of unstable grounds or other ground-level logistical challenges. But as opposed to hanging from the top of a building, it’s built at an above ground floor level with supporting, diagonal struts that ensure total structural stability. So if you’re concerned about whether scaffolding companies will be able to assist on a particular Tunbridge Wells site, don’t worry. There’s always something in our scaffolding services bag of tricks that will suit the job at hand.
