When Is a Scaffold Design Required?

In the UK, scaffold design is a legal requirement in many situations. According to the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and guidance from the National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), a scaffold design is required when:

 The scaffold is not covered by standard configurations outlined in TG20:21 (e.g. complex or non-standard builds)
 The scaffold exceeds 8 metres in height
 It includes unusual features (e.g. loading bays, gantries, fans or bridging sections)
 The structure is in a public space (e.g. over pavements or roads)
 A temporary roof structure or rolling roof is being installed
 The scaffold is erected in unusual environments (e.g. confined spaces, sloping ground, or listed buildings)
 The scaffold needs to remain in place long-term or under significant load

If you're unsure whether your project requires a scaffold design, our team of scaffolding erectors can provide clear guidance during your initial consultation.

WHERE WE WORK

Expert Design for Temporary Roofs

When your project needs full weather protection, a well-designed temporary roof scaffold is essential. We provide design services for various types of scaffold roofs, including:

 Fixed temporary roofs
 Shrink wrap, Keder, and corrugated sheet coverings
 Crane-lifted or manually assembled roof trusses
 Integrated access platforms and safe walkways below the roof

Each design is tailored to the dimensions of the building, the stage of construction or repair, and the anticipated wind and load conditions. Our scaffold roof designs prioritise both stability and accessibility, allowing work to continue safely beneath the temporary roof.

Our Scaffold Design Process

Initial Site Visit

We conduct a full survey to assess ground conditions, site access and any structural or environmental challenges.

Bespoke Design and Calculations

Our experienced team produces detailed CAD drawings and structural load calculations, ensuring access scaffolds and temporary roofs fully comply with TG20:21, BS EN 12811 and other relevant standards.

Approval and Planning Support

We provide design documentation for submission to local authorities, principal contractors or site managers as needed.
