Scaffolding Keighley

Scaffolding - A Brief Guide: A system that enables tradesmen to function safely at height and reach what are otherwise unreachable places on houses and various other structures, scaffolding is composed of a framework of steep tubes and fixtures which when clamped together tightly create a sound working platform. The use of scaffolding also has the benefit of making structures safe for the inhabitants and passers by, protecting them from hazards such as falling dust and debris due to work being done overhead. A thorough risk assessment is likely to be needed to determine if scaffolding is required for any specific project.

The various parts that are assembled to form a scaffold include: diagonal braces, spade ends, midrails, couplers, putlogs, board clamps, guard rails, facade braces, ledgers, ladder clamps, sills, limpet clamps, base plates, ladders, standards, swivel clamps, sole boards, toeboards, scaffold boards and right angle clamps.

Depending on exactly what purpose you require a scaffold for, you will soon realise that there are several different kinds of scaffold including suspended scaffolding, tower scaffolds, single scaffolding (bricklayers scaffolding), double scaffolding (masons scaffolding), trestle scaffolding, shoring scaffolds, confined space scaffolds, rolling scaffolds, tube and fitting scaffolds, cantilever scaffolds and patented scaffolding. The most commonplace kind and the one that most property owners in Keighley will be likely to need for their improvements or repairs is the single scaffold. Having said that, any of the above mentioned kinds might be necessary if it is a commercial building or premises that is having work done to it.

Using a scaffolder who is experienced and who has been endorsed by the local council is invariably the wisest route to take when you need to get scaffolding put up. You will have to get permission from the local authority if your scaffold is likely to creep onto a pavement or highway and it'll need some safety inspections prior to being used, routinely every seven days, after windy weather and after alterations or modifications. These local council permits are essential for various siting tasks including pedestrian barriers, scaffolding, access towers, stagings, hoardings as well as skips or builders plant. Any scaffolding that's erected on a public highway must be fitted with safety lighting. So that it can meet the requirements for the design of working and access scaffolds, scaffolding in the UK must comply with the European Standard, BS EN 12811-1.
