Scaffolding / Domestic Scaffolding
What we do
Global Platforms delivers domestic scaffolding that keeps home projects safe, tidy, and on schedule. From the first site survey to the final handover, we plan around doors, driveways, and gardens so your family can carry on as normal. Moreover, we coordinate dates with your roofer, decorator, or installer to minimise disruption and keep costs predictable.
Aluminium Systems – Ideal for lighter works, short-duration tasks and areas needing minimal footprint; includes aluminium scaffold tower and mobile scaffold tower options.
Steel Systems – Higher duty for long runs, heavy trades and complex façades.
Hybrid Access – Combine scaffold with MEWP boom lifts for hire, tracked access platforms, or access tower hire to reduce time on site and control scaffolding cost.
Why Domestic Scaffolding
Home improvements often demand secure access to eaves, chimneys, windows, and upper façades. Therefore, our domestic scaffolding gives you a stable working platform for roofing, painting, glazing, cleaning, and general maintenance. Because every property is different, we design layouts that work around conservatories, extensions, and narrow side passages. As a result, you get reliable access, faster progress, and a better finish.
Boost Productivity
We build for speed as well as safety. Consequently, our modular systems go up cleanly and come down just as quickly, reducing downtime on busy streets and tight drives. In addition, clear ladder positions, guardrails, and hop-ups help trades work efficiently, while neat staging protects paths and landscaping. Altogether, you complete more tasks in fewer visits and keep your programme moving.
Safety First
Safety isn’t optional; it’s built into everything we do. We erect to current standards, tag for inspections, and brief you on safe use before work begins. Furthermore, our teams check ground conditions, floor loading, and access width to ensure the scaffold remains stable throughout the job. By choosing a safety-first setup, you protect people, property, and your project timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Offer Small Scaffold Towers For Quick Jobs?
Yes—scaffold tower hire and access tower hire are ideal for short tasks like gutter fixes or a window swap. We also supply mobile scaffold towers for easy repositioning.
What’s The Difference Between Aluminium And Steel For A House?
An aluminium scaffold tower is light and great for short, localised works; steel scaffolding is better for long runs (e.g., full re-roof, full-elevation render) where higher duty and stability help productivity.
How Is Domestic Scaffolding Cost Calculated?
Scaffolding cost depends on height/length, complexity (chimneys, conservatories, extensions), duration and access constraints (alleys, driveways). Share photos or plans—we’ll quote clearly with no surprises.
Can You Work Around Conservatories And Tight Access?
Usually yes. We design offsets and bridged scaffold platforms to protect glass and roofs, and can use narrow bays or mobile access towers where space is limited.
Do You Provide Internal Stairwell Scaffold?
We do—stairwell scaffold offers safe, enclosed access for decorating or high-level maintenance over stairs and landings.
How Quickly Can You Put Scaffolding Up And Take It Down?
We schedule promptly and coordinate with your roofer/contractor. Small towers can be same/next day; larger elevations are planned to your programme, with tidy dismantle on completion.
Is A MEWP Ever Better Than Scaffolding At A House?
Sometimes—short, high, isolated tasks (e.g., a single chimney pot) may suit mewp hire (including tracked spider MEWPs) if access allows. We’ll advise honestly on what’s safest and most cost-effective.
Do You Handle Permits, RAMS And Inspections?
Yes—method statements and risk assessments as required, plus tagging and scheduled inspections for compliant working at height.
Will The Scaffold Block My Driveway Or Paths?
We plan routes to maintain safe access. Where needed, we design walk-through bays, protect paving, or suggest mobile scaffold towers to reduce footprint.
Do You Cover My Area?
We cover North West England and North Wales with rapid scheduling. If you’re searching scaffolding near me or scaffolding companies near me, we’re ready to help.
