The complexity of the structure required from the scaffolding contractors due to the increased level of danger in commercial projects is the primary distinction between commercial and home scaffolding. Due to the typical height of commercial premises, the scaffolding must be more rigid and well-balanced. This is done to protect the workers’ safety because falling from a height carries far more serious risks. Domestic scaffolding, on the other hand, is often utilised in smaller houses where the potential of such fatal occurrences is lower. What Is Commercial Scaffolding?   Commercial scaff ..read more

Any maintenance or construction project begins with the installation of scaffolding. It is a temporary structure that provides elevation, support, and allows employees to move items while carrying out their duties, which may include, but are not limited to, repairs and cleaning. Above all, scaffolding is set up before construction begins to guarantee worker safety while the building is being repaired or constructed. In addition to that, it also lends some support to the standing structure. Scaffolding in Construction Projects  When out and about during the day, it is highly likely you wil ..read more

3D CAD software is extremely useful for Scaffolding Project Design, because it allows users to quickly generate an accurate representation of planned scaffold structures before they are built.  This can help us to streamline the construction process, visualise  – and produce more efficient designs. Working within a virtual three-dimensional space can provide greater insight into the challenges that may be encountered during the construction process. These potential issues may not be immediately apparent when working with traditional two-dimensional drawings.  Here at Check-it Sc ..read more

Chimneys are consistently exposed to the elements – and succumb to wear and tear, which can lead to significant structural (and cosmetic) damage. It may not always be feasible to replace a chimney outright – and besides, you may wish to preserve the unique character of the building. If you are planning to undertake a chimney restoration or repointing project, it is important to be prepared and take the steps needed to ensure the planned repairs can be accomplished without a hitch.  Some of the major challenges around restoring a chimney include working at heights, reaching tight spaces ..read more

Scaffolding is used extensively for many modern construction, renovation and restorative projects. In the simplest terms, scaffolding provides a safe and secure structure for workers to stand on while they work on high buildings. It is also used to provide access to hard-to-reach areas or to create a working platform for machinery. Although scaffolding can be made from many different materials, steel is the most common type used in construction today. But, have you ever wondered about the origins of this indispensable construction technique? You could be forgiven for thinking that scaffolding ..read more

Why You Should Use Scaffolding During Home Renovations? When people are thinking about a home renovation or refurbishment project, there are a number of things to take into account. Things like budget and timescale are always at the top of any list, especially if you are using contractors. As a result, people often look to minimise costs, however if you cut costs in the wrong area, it can prove costly. To save money, people will often try to reduce costs by using ladders when working on upper areas of the home as opposed to paying for scaffolding in Edinburgh, or wherever you are based. Howeve ..read more

Whether that is in an industrial setting, on a refurbishment project or in a commercial environment there is no getting away from the fact that scaffolding is an integral part of everyday life. However, for the purpose of this blog, we thought we would take a look at 4 examples of why scaffolding is such a valuable element in the world of construction.  Ease Of Access  The construction industry often requires al ..read more

With the increasing costs of timber and steel, it is more important than ever for construction professionals to be aware.  The recent increase in timber and steel prices has caused concern for construction firms. The CLC points out that this will lead to an increased cost of building materials, which could affect your bottom line if you’re not careful! According to a recent statement by the CLC, the main reasons for price inflation are shortages of raw materials, increases in energy, transportation costs, and rising labour costs. However, it is also probable that the conflict in Ukr ..read more
