What is scaffolding
Scaffolding is used to provide a temporary platform around a building so that work can safely be carried out from height. Scaffolds provide work areas that allow for storage of equipment and supplies and they also allow for the safe movement of operatives. Many construction related activities would otherwise be very difficult, or highly dangerous to carry out without the use of a scaffold. Some common tasks that require a scaffold solution include roofing works, fascia and soffit fitting, window fitting, brick laying, recladding and external wall insulation, to name a few.
Key Scaffolding Terminology
Tube Fitting Scaffolding - Traditionally, scaffolds are put together with a series of steel tubes that are assembled, and these are known as tube fitting scaffolds.
Erecting - The process of putting a portable scaffold up is called erecting
Striking - The process of dismantling a scaffold
Standards - Vertical scaffold poles are known as standards
Ledgers - Horizontal members that lie parallel to the building.
Lift - Each row of ledgers is called a lift
Transoms -Perpendicular tubes supported by the ledgers are called transoms.
Platforms - wooden boards placed at intermediate levels to provide working platforms
Bracing - Tubes placed diagonally within the scaffold framing. Façade bracing runs on the face of the scaffold parallel with the building, whereas ledger bracing ties from the inner ledger at one level to the outer ledger at another level.
Sole Plate - Provides foundation stability for the scaffold at the base
Scaffolds may be either free standing or tied back to the building. The building ties provide rigidity to the scaffold structure, preventing it from falling over. The foundation supports of the scaffold provide vertical support, along with the standards, ledgers and transoms. Lateral stability is provided with the bracing and ties. Guard rails at the edge of the scaffold help to prevent falls and scaffold boards prevent items inadvertently falling from the scaffold and causing harm.
Scaffolding Essentials
Scaffolding serves a vital life safety function. As a result, it must satisfy the following critieria:

Scaffolding serves a vital life safety function. As a result, it must satisfy the following critieria:
- Be suitable for its intended use and able to support the materials and people who will be on it;
- Be erected safely from appropriate materials to a recognised design by competent persons ;
- Not be overloaded or undermined;
- Not be altered by incompetent people;
- Not be subject to excessive wind loads by sheeting etc.
- Be inspected at hand-over, every seven days and every time it is exposed to adverse weather conditions (such as rain or heavy winds) or impact, collision or any other event/incident that could affect its’ integrity;
- Be built on a suitable supporting surface;
- Be such that it will not fall down or fall over, provide protection to stop materials or people falling from it;
- Not present hazards to anyone walking under or around it;
- Provide suitable safe access and egress with appropriate measures to prevent unauthorised access

Why hire professional scaffolders?
Working from height is one of the most common causes of injury and fatality on a construction site. Many construction tasks are too complex, not practical, and outright dangerous to carry out from a set of ladders. The working from height regulations (2005) came into effect to reduce the number of incidents occurring because of accidents relating to working from height and this set of regulations has improved standards within the industry.
The main requirements of these regulations are as follows:
- all work from height must be properly planned and organised;
- those involved in work at height must be competent to do so
- work from height must be properly risk assessed
- the right work equipment must be selected and used
- the risks from fragile surfaces are properly controlled;
- equipment for work at height is properly inspected and maintained.
- to prevent, so far as reasonably practicable, the fall of any materials/objects that are likely to cause any injury to any person
While every effort should be made to avoid the need to work from height, it is inevitable that certain tasks will always need to be carried out from the safety of a mobile access platform, such as a scaffold. That is where our team of expert scaffolders come in. We can provide the right bespoke scaffold solution for your project, to keep you working safely and in accordance with the HSE guidance. Some form of scaffold will usually be required when work is taking place above 1.5m. Please check with a member of our team if you are unsure whether your building project requires the use of a scaffold.
It is always recommended that you consult with a professional team of scaffolders before undertaking any project that requires work from height. Tube and fitting scaffolds must be put together in accordance with strict standards set in TG20:13 and scaffold operatives must work in compliance with SG4:15. System scaffolds must be erected as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
TG20:13 is a technical guidance manual for Tube & Fitting Scaffolds Operations from the National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) that covers design, erection and use of scaffolds. SG4:15 is the NASC guidance document for Preventing Falls in Scaffolding that has been developed to provide advice on the safest methods of erecting and dismantling scaffolds. To ensure that your portable scaffold is installed to the correct standard, we recommend you give our professional team a call. Our experts are experienced in working with all different types of scaffolding and have the necessary training to ensure they can work safely and to the right quality. Call today to discuss your scaffolding requirements with one of our staff.
Scaffolding Guidance
At NTW, we don't just offer expert on site help. Our mission is to make working from height safer for everyone involved. That is why we have created an articles section with some common scaffolding questions. Visit our articles today and for more information about when scaffolding is required.
Why Scaffolding Is Important
The UK construction industry is one of the largest employers in the UK accounting for 3.1 million people. Unfortunately, construction is also one of the biggest workforce killers in the UK too and that is largely since the industry carries more inherent risks than other sectors.
Working from height is an example of a major risk that is presented in the sector. Add to that the fact that land space is becoming more and more confined and expensive, which is driving developers to build upwards rather than outwards. This only increases the risk of injury and fatality due to working from height. A fall from an average 4 storey high building gives you only 50% chance of survival, whilst falls from higher than this increase the chance of fatality further.
Given the statistics above, it is clear to see why scaffolding is so important in the modern construction industry. A professionally designed scaffold helps to prevent falls and reduce the consequences of accidents such as slips, trips and falling materials.
Legislation has further emphasised the importance of using a well-designed scaffold as part of construction works. The CDM regulations place responsibility on the client to select a contractor who will work safely and competently, and the contractor has a responsibility to outline how they will do this in their construction phase plan. Furthermore, the health and safety at work act is in place to ensure that employers provide a safe working environment and training for their staff. For the scaffolding industry, this means providing a safe and stable scaffold where construction operatives can carry out technical aspects of construction work safely.
Scaffolding has a major role to play in making work from height safer and reducing the chances of injury and fatality, which is why it is considered so important. If you would like further information on how to make your next construction project safer, contact one of our Portsmouth Scaffolders today.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Scaffolding Do I Need?
To assess your scaffolding requirements, it is important to carry out a thorough and detailed risk assessment which takes account of the task at hand, the location of the site and the operatives involved. For example, most manual handling guidelines specify a maximum handling capacity of 25kg (55 lb) for males and 16kg (lb) by females, but you must consider the individual operatives involved in the task, as they may not be physically capable of carrying such loads. Details such as these will affect the design of your scaffold.
Where is Scaffolding Used?
Scaffolds are used in any situation where the work would be too dangerous to carry out from a ladder or other means. Commonly, scaffolding is used for new build houses, roofing works, window installations, bridges, maintenance, and repairs. High profile jobs involving the use of scaffolding include the refurbishment of Big Ben and Westminster. Scaffolding is also used for work near public roads and footpaths to avoid any collateral damage to pedestrians. The requirement for scaffolding will ultimately be based upon the individual risk assessment for the project.
Can Scaffolding affect TV Signal
Scaffolding and other metal structures do have the potential to interfere with tv signal. Therefore, we always aim to be considerate of our customers when positioning our scaffolds. Bespoke designs can help to overcome any issues with loss of aerial signal whilst your scaffold is in place, but the likelihood is you may experience some disruption during the works. Our team will always aim to be responsive and work quickly to minimise the disruption to your day to day life.
