Scaffolders Cambridge

From listed buildings in the conservation areas to HMOs, student lets, college works and modern developments on the city edges - we deliver safe, reliable scaffolding right across Cambridge.

A short drive away

Cambridge scaffolders covering the whole city

From our base in Hemingford Grey we're a 20-minute drive down the A14 to Cambridge - which means we can be on site for a free quote within 24 hours and our team can reach you quickly whenever the job needs us. We've delivered scaffolds across Cambridge for years, from the Victorian terraces in Newnham and Romsey through to the modern build-outs in Eddington and the science parks.

Cambridge has more listed buildings per square mile than almost anywhere else in the country, plus a huge HMO market and a constant stream of college and university maintenance work. Each of these brings its own quirks - tight conservation rules, specific safety standards, restrictive working hours. We know what each one needs and we've handled it all.

Common questions

Cambridge scaffolding FAQs

The questions Cambridge customers ask us most.

Yes, this is one of our specialist services. Cambridge has a huge number of listed buildings and we've worked on plenty. We design scaffolds around the building, work to whatever consents you have in place, and protect fragile features. Read more about our heritage scaffolding approach.

Cambridge has one of the busiest rental markets in the country and we support a lot of landlords. Roof works, external repairs, statutory upgrades and refurbishments - we'll get safe access in place quickly with the right documentation.

If the scaffold sits on a public footway or road, then yes - Cambridge City Council requires a licence and may also need a parking suspension. We'll explain what's needed for your specific street during the site visit and can advise on the application.

For city-centre and busy residential locations we use pedestrian tunnels, debris netting and proper signage to keep walkways safe. The detail goes into your RAMS and we plan it around your site's footfall pattern.

Yes. We're happy to share insurance certificates, CISRS and CSCS records and full RAMS upfront so your procurement and H&S teams can sign us off properly. We've worked on plenty of large institutional sites in the area.
