Scaffolding for Schools & Educational Buildings in Kent & South East London
Specialist scaffolding for schools, colleges and educational buildings across Kent and South East London. Term-time access, safeguarding and DBS compliance.
Scaffolding for schools and educational buildings
Schools, colleges, academies and other educational buildings across Kent and South East London require scaffolding for maintenance, repair and improvement works. Educational buildings present specific challenges that require a contractor with the right experience, accreditations and understanding of the safeguarding requirements.
We are experienced in working on school sites and understand the specific requirements: term-time access restrictions, safeguarding obligations, DBS requirements for workers on school sites, public sector procurement frameworks, and the need to complete works during school holidays where possible.
We are Constructionline Gold accredited and Achilles SSIP accredited, meeting the pre-qualification requirements of most local authority and academy trust procurement frameworks. We cover the full area from our base in Hextable, including all of Kent and South East London.
Working on school sites
Schools are regulated environments with specific requirements for contractors. We understand these requirements and will work with the school's facilities manager or business manager to develop a scaffold strategy that meets them.
Where works must be carried out during term time, we will agree a working strategy that minimises disruption to teaching and learning, maintains safe access routes for pupils and staff, and complies with the school's safeguarding policy.
- Works planned around school holidays where possible
- Term-time working strategy agreed with school management
- Safe access routes for pupils and staff maintained
- Safeguarding policy compliance
- DBS-checked workers available on request
- Constructionline Gold and Achilles SSIP accreditations
