One trusted partner for safe access
Arctic Scaffolding designs, erects and manages temporary access for some of the UK’s most demanding sites — from live aircraft hangars and occupied offices to listed heritage buildings.
Every scaffold is planned around the people who use the building, so the work gets done safely without stopping operations.
As part of Arctic Group, we work alongside Arctic Fire, Cooling and Glazing: one partner, one standard.
Every scaffold designed for the site, not taken from a catalogue.
Planned. Inspected. Handed over.
A scaffold is only as safe as the planning, erection and inspection behind it. Every Arctic Scaffolding job is designed for its site, erected by our own trained teams and inspected before anyone uses it — then inspected again for as long as it stands.
Accreditation is held by Arctic Access Limited, the scaffolding division of Arctic Group.
Standard scaffolds to NASC TG20:21. Anything beyond is designed by independent design engineers and system manufacturers, and signed off before erection.
Trained, PPE-equipped scaffolders working to NASC SG4:22 for safe erection, alteration and dismantling.
Full edge protection, brick guards, fans, gantries, padded standards and clear signage where the public pass.
Inspected before first use, at intervals of no more than seven days and after anything that could affect it.
Each scaffold is handed over in writing, stating its loading, its limits and what it is designed to do.
Scaffold alarms, secure hoarding and removed ladders keep the building safe out of hours.
Scaffolding services
Designed, erected, inspected and struck by our own teams.
Access & working platforms
Independent and tied scaffolds for façades, repairs and refurbishment, boarded and edge-protected at every working lift.
Stair & access towers
Safe stair access to height in hangars, atriums and plant areas, built so the space below keeps working.
Temporary walkways & ramps
Level, boarded routes over excavations, services and uneven ground, with handrails and toe boards throughout.
Protected pedestrian routes
Gantries, covered walkways and pedestrian tunnels that keep entrances and public paths open during the works.
Roof & edge protection
Edge protection and roof access for pitched and flat roofs, chimney stacks and gutter works.
Plant room & confined access
Bespoke platforms in plant rooms, ceiling voids and tight spaces where a standard scaffold will not fit.
From enquiry to strike
One controlled process for every scaffold, from the first site visit to the last tube off site.
