Edge protection, gantries and specialist structures

Roof edge protection, pedestrian gantries, loading bays and lift shaft access.

Tall scaffold on a terraced townhouse frontage with edge protection and a debris chute

Not every temporary works job is a scaffold you climb. Sometimes it is a handrail that stops a fall, a tunnel that keeps the public walking past your site, or a platform that lets a lift shaft be fitted out.

These are the jobs where the design matters more than the tube. We work them out properly and issue drawings where the structure warrants it.

What is included

  • Roof edge protection and guardrail systems to HSE requirements
  • Pedestrian gantries and tunnels keeping public routes open
  • Loading bays and material handling platforms
  • Lift shaft access scaffolds and hoist runs
  • Propping, shoring and needled structures where design requires

Edge protection & gantries: your questions

Do you arrange highways licences for pavement gantries?

Yes. Anything standing on the public highway needs a licence from the local authority. We apply, provide the drawings and insurance details they ask for, and build the programme around the lead time.

  • 5 out of 5 stars. Olly and his team were super efficient, friendly and helpful when putting up the scaffolding for roof work that had to be carried out on my house. As soon as the work was finished, they wasted no time and returned the same day to take it down again. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

  • 5 out of 5 stars. Oli at Jarvis scaffolding could not have been more helpful in facilitating the deconstruction of our scaffolding. He was able to bring a team in and have it down with 48 hours notice. Highly professional, fairly priced and great to deal with.

  • 5 out of 5 stars. Masterfully done and not a scratch. Was a difficult placement, across different owners' roofs and with some tricky angles, but they managed quickly and perfectly. Friendly local guys. Highly recommend.
