As part of a Sanctuary Housing contract, B-MAT Scaffolding provided access scaffolding to another occupied
property on Hartford Close, Rayleigh, Essex, supporting asbestos fascia replacement and new guttering
installation.
Working within a live residential environment required a strong focus on resident safety and clear site
management. Scaffold layouts were designed to maintain clear access routes, protect entrances, and
minimise disruption throughout the duration of the works.
Fully boarded working platforms were installed to allow licensed asbestos contractors to carry out
removal works in a controlled manner. Edge protection and toe boards were included as standard to reduce
the risk of falling materials and protect residents below.
The scaffold was erected and maintained by trained operatives experienced in housing association work.
Inspections were completed on installation and at regular intervals to ensure ongoing compliance.
This project highlights B-MAT Scaffolding’s commitment to delivering safe, considerate scaffolding
solutions that prioritise resident wellbeing alongside technical compliance.
Short / Long Term Scaffolding Hire
When it comes to construction, renovation or property maintenance, having the right scaffolding solution in place is essential for safety, efficiency and compliance. Whether you are a homeowner needing temporary access to your roof for a few weeks, a building contractor overseeing a large commercial development, or a property manager planning long-term works, reliable scaffolding hire makes all the difference.
Scaffold Platforms
Scaffold platforms are an essential part of safe and efficient construction, repair, and maintenance projects across London and Essex. Whether you are working on a residential property in need of external access, a commercial building requiring large-scale scaffolding, or specialist works where stability and safety are critical, having the right scaffold platform in place ensures both productivity and compliance with health and safety standards.
Scaffolding / Access towers
When working at height, safety and stability are vital. That’s why so many homeowners, builders, and contractors rely on scaffolding and access towers for their projects across London and Essex. Whether you’re repairing a roof, painting the exterior of a property, or carrying out commercial maintenance, access towers provide a secure platform that allows work to be completed safely, quickly, and efficiently.
Replacing Fascias / Gutters
Fascias, soffits and gutters are vital parts of any building. They protect your property from water damage, keep your roofline secure, and ensure rainwater is directed away from walls and foundations. Over time, however, fascias and gutters can become damaged, weathered or blocked — leading to leaks, rot, damp and expensive repairs. Replacing fascias and gutters often requires safe access to awkward roof edges and upper storeys. That’s why professional scaffolding hire is essential. Our company provides specialist scaffolding hire for replacing fascias and gutters in London, Essex and Hertfordshire, with flexible short and long term hire options for homeowners, builders and roofing contractors.
House Refurbishment
House refurbishment projects come in all shapes and sizes, from small cosmetic upgrades to full-scale structural renovations. Whether you are modernising an older property, restoring a period home, or simply upgrading your roofline and windows, one thing remains constant: safe access is vital. Professional scaffolding hire ensures that every stage of a refurbishment project can be carried out safely, efficiently and in compliance with regulations.
