Commercial scaffolding across Essex
Scaffolding access for commercial buildings, from planned maintenance and repairs through to a complete building project — assessed properly and coordinated around how the building is used.
What commercial scaffolding from SET covers
Commercial work brings constraints a domestic job usually does not: a building that has to keep operating, public footfall past the elevation, delivery access to protect, and a programme other trades are working to.
SET Scaffolding assesses the building and those constraints before quoting, then supplies and maintains the access for the duration of the work. We provide the scaffold. The building, roofing, cladding, glazing or rendering work is carried out by your contractor or chosen trade, and SET can coordinate directly with whoever is running the project.
Based in Maldon, covering Essex including Chelmsford and Colchester.

Tell us about the constraints
The more we know about how the building is used, the more accurate the quotation and the fewer surprises on site.
- Whether the building has to stay open and operating during the work.
- Public footfall, pedestrian routes and any entrance that must stay usable.
- Whether the scaffold will stand on a pavement or highway, which normally needs a licence.
- Delivery, loading and parking arrangements on site.
- The programme you are working to, and which trades need access when.
- Any site induction, permit or documentation requirements.

Safety and compliance at the centre
Scaffolding erected to suit your project, with safety and compliance at the centre of our service. Seven-day scaffold inspections available.
£5 million public liability insurance
- Scaffolding is erected for general use or for the specific work planned, whichever the project calls for.
- Seven-day scaffold inspections are available. Ask how inspections will be handled for your hire when you enquire.
- A scaffold may also need inspecting after it has been altered or after severe weather, not only on the seven-day cycle.
- SET Scaffolding holds £5 million public liability insurance.
- Every job is assessed before a quotation is provided, because access needs vary with the building and the work.
- Site access, ground conditions and the surroundings are considered before any work begins.
- SET can coordinate with builders, roofers, installers and other trades where a job needs it.
- Customers are asked to share accurate details about the property and the planned work so nothing is missed.
