Scaffolding for Retail Premises in Kent & South East London
Scaffolding for shops, retail parks and high street premises across Kent and South East London. Customer access maintained, trading continues, signage protected.
Scaffolding for retail premises
Retail premises present a specific set of scaffolding challenges. The primary concern for any retail operator is maintaining trading throughout the works. A scaffold that blocks the shop entrance, obscures signage or deters customers can have a direct impact on revenue. We understand this and design our retail scaffolding to minimise the impact on trading.
We work with retail operators, landlords, managing agents and maintenance contractors on retail scaffolding projects across Kent and South East London. From individual high street shops to retail parks and shopping centres, we have the experience to provide scaffolding that works around the retail operation.
We are Constructionline Gold accredited and Achilles SSIP accredited, and we carry full public liability insurance to £10m.
Retail scaffolding considerations
Retail scaffolding requires careful planning to maintain customer access, protect signage and maintain the trading environment throughout the works. This typically involves designing the scaffold to keep the shop entrance clear, providing adequate lighting under the scaffold, and agreeing working hours to minimise disruption during peak trading periods.
Where the scaffold extends over the public pavement, a licence from the local authority or highway authority is required. We manage this process on behalf of our customers and ensure the scaffold is erected and maintained in accordance with the licence conditions.
- Shop entrance and customer access maintained throughout
- Signage protected or temporarily relocated where required
- Adequate lighting provided under the scaffold
- Working hours agreed to minimise disruption during peak trading
- Pavement licences managed where scaffold extends over the highway
- Debris netting and sheeting to contain dust and debris
