Scaffolding & Temporary Roof DO’S

• Do Prioritise Safety – As the stakes are so high when working from height, safety is always paramount. Ensure that scaffolding and temporary roofing structures are installed and maintained according to industry standards. We also urge Romford clients to use appropriate PPE, including helmets, harnesses, and non-slip footwear.
• Do Plan Thoroughly – Assess the scope of work, load requirements, and site conditions before erecting domestic scaffolding, commercial scaffolding or temporary roofing. A well-thought-out plan reduces risks and enhances project efficiency; this is why the initial consultation, site assessment and design phase is such an important one at Hi-Stanford.
• Do Inspect Regularly – Frequent inspections of domestic scaffolding, commercial scaffolding and temporary roof scaffolding around Romford is vital. Regularly assess structures – or task Hi-Stanford to do so on your behalf – for signs of wear, damage, or instability. Any issues should be promptly addressed to prevent accidents.
• Do Use Qualified Personnel – Entrust the task to trained professionals, such as Hi-Stanford in Romford. Only allow certified workers to assemble, dismantle, or modify a structure (whether it’s domestic scaffolding or commercial scaffolding); the same goes for temporary roofing. Their expertise ensures structural integrity and compliance.

Scaffolding & Temporary Roof DON’TS

• Don't Overload – Every structure we erect around Romford has a maximum load capacity which is totally non-negotiable; domestic scaffolding and commercial scaffolding share in this. Avoid overloading scaffolding beyond its weight capacity. Excessive loads can compromise stability and lead to collapses, which we aren’t exaggerating when we say can be devastating.
• Don't Neglect Training – Never allow untrained individuals to handle scaffolding or temporary roof scaffolding. Improper assembly or usage can result in accidents, injuries, or fatalities. That’s why it’s so important Romford residents, trades and companies bring in the seasoned pros at Hi-Stanford.
• Don't Block Access – Keep access paths clear. Do not obstruct walkways or entry points with tools, materials, or debris. Unobstructed access ensures safe movement for workers.
• Don't Ignore Weather Conditions – Work cautiously during adverse weather conditions. High winds, rain, or icy conditions can compromise safety. Temporary roof scaffolding should be secured adequately to withstand the elements, and extreme conditions rolling through Romford calls for pausing work on domestic scaffolding and commercial scaffolding structures both.

Well done for making it this far. Romford clients who adhere to these dos and don'ts have put yourself in the best position to make use of our domestic scaffolding solutions, commercial scaffolding services and temporary roof scaffolding structures in a safe and mature manner.
