Scaffolding can seem like such a simple concept, but the ingenuity of modern scaffolding systems along with the techniques practiced by construction professionals belie that simplicity. Let’s take a look at current developments in the scaffolding trade, and why the scaffolding services Middlesbrough builders can call upon are so important to the construction industry in the area.
Working at height remains one of the riskiest positions in which any builder, tradesperson, or DIYer may find themselves. One of the key reasons for this is overconfidence; after all, we can all climb a ladder, or balance on a beam without falling off, can’t we? Well, yes, but when you throw into the mix performing a complex task which will usually require both hands, what seemed like a straightforward operation can become unacceptably risky. This is why other solutions for working at height, such as hoists and AWPs, have become such important resources.
So, where does scaffolding fit into this picture? Just as it would be highly impractical to erect a full scaffolding network to change a bulb in an external light fitting, so it would be completely inefficient to hire a fleet of aerial work platforms to paint the whole façade of a large building. Calculating the most practical way of doing the job is one of the key stages of planning any construction project. Scaffolding systems are accepted as the best way to provide ongoing access to large areas of a building’s exterior or interior, without compromising on safety or on budget.
Scaffolding equipment is heavy and bulky. Therefore, at Passim Services, we offer to take the burden of arranging the storage, transport, and erection of scaffolding systems off your shoulders.

Then, leave it to us to dismantle the gear after the task is finished, while you move on to the next job.
Are scaffolding systems really as simple as they appear? The fact is that the idea of scaffolding is simple, as is that of a brick wall. But as any time-served bricklayer will tell you, consistently producing great results is the hallmark of a true professional, and any job can throw up unexpected obstacles which require ingenuity and experience to solve. In the case of scaffolding, it is workers’ safety that is in the balance, and therefore compromise is not an option. As the scaffolding contractors Middlesbrough builders trust again and again to perform this vital service, we always make safety our first consideration on every job.
By noting needs within the industry, additional techniques such as temporary roofing and birdcage scaffolding have been developed.
