It covers every form of temporary access structure — from a single-lift independent scaffold for a domestic gutter repair through to multi-storey commercial lifts, fully sheeted temporary roofs, chimney drop scaffolds and bespoke heritage access. Homeowners, builders, roofing contractors, commercial property managers and insurance loss adjusters all use this category. Scaffolding is needed any time work happens at height for more than a brief task: re-roofs, render and external wall insulation, painting, chimney rebuilds, structural repair, solar installation and emergency make-safes after storm or fire damage. What separates us is that every scaffold is designed against TG20:21 (or independently engineered for non-compliant geometries), put up by CISRS-carded scaffolders, and handed over with a written handover certificate. We don't sub-contract the labour out and we don't leave a scaffold up without a fresh inspection in the legal seven-day window.

[Discuss a heritage scaffold](/heritage-scaffolding) Why Spartan ## Built around the scaffold, not the sub-contractor Most of the scaffold horror stories we get called to fix come down to one thing: the original company sub-contracted the labour and never inspected what went up. Our model is the opposite. Scaffolders are on the books, vehicles are ours, materials are owned (not hired in), and a director signs off every handover. That means a scaffold from us is designed to a recognised standard, built by people we've trained, and backed by a phone number that picks up when something needs altering at short notice. ### Directly-employed scaffolders No agency labour. Every scaffolder on site is CISRS-carded and PAYE — you get the same crew start to finish. ### TG20:21 + bespoke designs Compliant TG20 sheets for standard configurations, NASC-aligned bespoke designs for anything outside the scope. ### Statutory inspection logged Seven-day inspections recorded against scaftags, with copies emailed for your H&S file. ### Local depot, local crews Materials and crews based within our service area, so emergency call-outs and alterations don't wait on motorway traffic. How we work ## Our scaffolding process 1. 01 ### Site visit & survey Free on-site survey to measure heights, check ground bearing, agree access and identify neighbour or highway constraints. 2. 02 ### Design & quote Written quote with TG20 reference or bespoke design drawings, RAMS, and a clear erection date — usually within 24 hours of the survey. 3. 03 ### Erect & handover Scaffold built to spec, handover certificate issued with scaftag, and a digital copy of the design and inspection schedule sent to you. 4. 04 ### Inspect, alter, strike Statutory seven-day inspections, alterations on request, and a clean, prompt strike when the works are complete.
