In the UK, European Whitewood is imported from Europe to be used to produce scaffold...

Whether you’re working on a residential or commercial property, it’s important to understand the laws and regulations regarding health and safety, including working at height.

The team were efficient, polite and professional. There was a weekly safety inspection. Everything was done on time and with attention to detail. The scaffolding is all down now and nothing has been damaged. I'd recommend.

Installed a 14m high scaffold tower for a boiler flue replacement at my property in North London. Being a scaffold designer I have high standards for scaffolder's and Beacon didn't disappoint. They were competitively priced, worked to a tight timetable and the scaffold enabled the boiler installer to replace the flue on programme. Ellie from Beacon was very responsive and helpful when I had queries. I would definitely recommend them.

Hands down the best scaffold company that I've worked with over several projects now. Efficient and well priced, pleasure to deal with. They are a small company which means you do not have to go through several people to get what you need, and also that they are flexible and very helpful.

We're a block of 3 Georgian terraced houses which are managed together, and were particularly keen that our contractors were sympathetic to the fact that these are listed buildings and need careful treatment. Beacon were very careful in erecting the scaffolding, particularly when every single pole and board had to be moved through the main hallway to be re-erected at the back! They also worked very quickly and efficiently - a job expected to take 3-4 days each time (front, and then back) took only 2 working days, and at the end of the job bringing the poles and boards down and through the hallway again took only a day. There was some slight damage to a neighbour's front steps, which the company dealt with immediately and to the satisfaction of our neighbour. I was particularly taken with the fact that, being a small family firm, they offer a very personal service. Georgia replied to every email almost immediately, even late at night, and was very proactive and reassuring whenever I had a query or concern. I must also add that, although we were quoted for 8 weeks' of scaffolding, when I requested some leeway in case of unforeseen problems or bad weather, they unhesitatingly allowed us 12 weeks for the same price. And they took the scaffolding down within a day of it being requested by our contractor! All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Beacon Scaffolding.

Beacon Scaffolding acted very professionally and quickly to not only erect our scaffold but get the license through the council quicker than timescales given. Then the striking of scaffold was carried out very promptly. No need to get scaffolding from anywhere else.

Lovely family business, super responsive, efficient and communicative every step of the way. I had an emergency, and got my scaffolding put together in less than 24 hours. I highly recommend!

Don't listen to all the moaning people scaffolding blocks doors an windows as it don't float in the air, let this hard working company get on with it, if you don't like a window blocked or a door don't have your roof fixed it's simple mathematical
