Scaffolding in Uttoxeter

Working in Uttoxeter

Uttoxeter is a market town on the A50 near the Derbyshire border, best known for its racecourse. It has a compact Georgian and Victorian centre and substantial modern housing to the south and west of town.

In Uttoxeter town centre, scaffolds often go up against shops and listed frontages on busy streets, while out on the estates it is mostly roofing and extension work. Uttoxeter jobs include town-centre buildings around the market and new estates on the edge of town, and its rural surroundings mean farm buildings and outbuildings too.

For Uttoxeter (ST14), planning applications are handled by East Staffordshire 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 through Abbots Bromley on the B5013, about thirteen miles away.

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.
