Shops, offices, pubs, and other commercial premises undergoing refurbishment with listed status also need a considered scaffolding approach. Our independent tied scaffolds give safe access for maintenance work without altering visible elevations or roof lines.
We are approved by Liverpool Council to scaffold grade I and grade II* listed monuments. Our tube and fitting designs allow for repairs and conservation work while retaining the structural integrity of landmarks like St. George’s Hall.
