Questions To Ask Before Hiring a Scaffolding Company

Posted by Sean Butler on September 9th, 2019

A scaffolding company can install a safe and secure scaffolding structure around any building for construction or renovation. They provide the materials, expertise, and equipment needed to install a secure scaffold and will also maintain the structure for you. There are several scaffolding companies in London and finding the right one can be difficult. In this article, we discuss a few questions that will help you find the best scaffolding company in the area.

1. Do You Have Licenses and Certifications?

Licenses and government permits are only given to contractors who live up to industry standards and are reliable. It is a good idea to make sure you hire the most reliable contractor for this job. If the scaffolding isn't installed correctly, it can place the workers on-site at risk and cause serious injuries. Licenses and certifications offer assurance that the London scaffolding company can be trusted to handle the project smoothly.

2. Do You Have Insurance?

Accidents can happen regardless of how careful a company is with their installations and material choices. This can lead to on-site injuries, accidents, property damage, and other such issues. If you hire a company with good insurance, you don’t have to worry about paying for these accidents out of the pocket. The company will offer compensation if anything goes wrong. Make sure you check the company’s website for their insurance information before hiring them.

3. Is Your Team Experienced?

Installing a scaffolding requires skill, focus, and effort. That’s one of the reasons why experience matters so much in this industry. A company that has been around for a few years will have a more experienced crew and will know the best installation techniques. You can trust the quality of their work and rely on the quality of the material they use.

4. Do You Provide References?

Many companies have an online presence and you can read reviews to determine if they provide good quality services. You can also ask the company to provide references so you can speak with past clients and ask them about their experience. Past clients are often a source of unbiased information so you can make an informed decision regarding the company. If the company isn't willing to provide a reference, you might want to consider other options. Unless the establishment is brand new, they should have a few clients who are willing to provide feedback. If the clients are satisfied with the service, they won't hesitate to promote the company.

5. What Kind of Materials and Installation Techniques Do You Use?

It is a good idea to get information on the type of materials and installation techniques the scaffolding company uses. That will allow you to make informed decisions and keep an eye on the quality of the installation work. Most scaffolding companies are willing to explain their process to their clients in detail.
