At Edan Scaffolding, we’ve seen first-hand how simple missteps can cause big problems. Here’s our guide to the most common mistakes—and how to avoid them.
Not Checking for Proper Safety
Safety should always come first. Choosing a scaffolding company that lacks proper safety approvals can endanger both workers and the public.
Ignoring Site-Specific Needs
Every building site is unique. Failing to account for specific site requirements—such as restricted access, uneven ground, or the need for special features—can delay installation and increase costs.
Overlooking Weather Protection
In the UK, weather can change quickly. Forgetting to include protective sheeting or covers for exposed work areas can slow progress and cause safety hazards.
Not Clarifying Hire Duration
A lack of clear communication about how long scaffolding will be in place can lead to unexpected extensions or rushed dismantling, disrupting your project schedule.
