Support & Suspended Scaffolding
A suspended scaffold is unique to other scaffolding techniques in that the scaffold is secured at the top of the building rather than at the base. This means that there is no scaffold near the ground to cause inconvenience for vehicles and passersby. As such this form of scaffolding is highly useful for tall buildings, especially when the building is on a busy road.
The scaffold is suspended from your roof using ropes or wires. This means that the platform can easily be raised or lowered as needed and can be used for a wide range of tasks from repairs to renovations.

Roof Edge Protection Scaffolding
When undertaking any type of construction work the safety of any workers is of paramount importance. That’s why at Priority Scaffolding specialises in edge protection. We can install a variety of edge protection frameworks depending on what material the fixed structure is made from.
Edge protection does exactly what the name suggests by erecting a barrier around any edge that carries risk of falling. This helps to prevent any accidents on the construction site. Priority Scaffolding can erect any scaffold with edge protection as well as installing edge protection on existing scaffold structures.
Safety Scaffolding – Birdcage & Crash Deck Scaffolding
Crash deck and birdcage scaffolding are useful for completing any indoor renovation or repair work, (this scaffold can be used outdoor if needed), particularly when working in a building with a high roof placement.
As crash deck and birdcage scaffolding are predominantly used for internal work, they tend to be made from a lighter material that regular scaffold, this makes crash deck and birdcage scaffolding relatively easy and quick to erect and dismantle, however, this should still be completed by a professional scaffolder as there are certain requirements that must be met to comply with Health and Safety standards.
Birdcage scaffolding is erected by arranging standards at regular intervals – a maximum of 2.5 metres apart – then tied together using a grid of transoms and ledgers. The top level is then boarded over and secured to create the working platform for labourers. A birdcage scaffold should also offer an enclosed working space for any tradesmen, keeping them safe from falling through any gaps in the scaffold.
Cantilever Scaffolding
Cantilever scaffolding is erected by using steel poles attached to the base of the structure, acting as support for the platform above. As the steel support poles are angled from the base outwards, very little space is taken up on the ground meaning that you are not causing an inconvenience to anyone on the street level. As such this form of scaffolding is very useful if your building is located on the main road. As the platform is elevated and secured away from the road, you are creating a safe environment for labourers to working, minimising the risk of the structure being hit by a vehicle.
