Access Tower Scaffolding

Working safely at height is one of the most important requirements in any construction, refurbishment, or maintenance project. At Jaku Scaffolding, we provide professional Access Tower Scaffolding services across London and surrounding areas including Kent, Surrey, and Essex. Our towers offer secure and stable platforms for all types of work at height, from roof repairs to painting and inspections.

Unlike hire-only companies that deliver prefabricated towers for self-assembly, we offer a fully managed service. Every access tower is erected, inspected, and dismantled by our qualified scaffolders, ensuring it is safe, compliant, and adapted to the unique needs of your project.

What Is Access Tower Scaffolding?

Access Tower Scaffolding is a mobile, lightweight structure that provides safe working platforms for operatives. It is ideal for projects where a full scaffolding system is not required but elevated access is still necessary.

Our access towers are widely used for:

  • Roof repairs, guttering, and chimney work
  • Painting, decorating, and plastering
  • Window fitting, cleaning, and maintenance
  • Electrical and plumbing works at height
  • General building, inspection, and survey access

Every tower we supply is built using tube and fitting scaffolding and erected in line with NASC TG20:21 and HSE Work at Height Regulations 2005.

Specialist Scaffold Assembly and Setup

At Jaku Scaffolding, our scaffolders are trained in safe assembly techniques, ensuring every tower is built to the highest safety standards.

We use industry-approved methods, including:

Advance Guard Rail (AGR) Systems

Guardrails are installed from below, so workers remain protected as the tower is built upwards.

Through-the-Trap (3T) Method

Scaffolders stay within the trapdoor opening while building each level, ensuring continuous fall protection.

Both methods minimise risk, and we always ensure towers are erected on a solid, level base with stabilisers or outriggers where required.

Safety and Compliance – Access Tower Scaffolding

Safety is central to everything we do. All Access Tower Scaffolding we install is compliant with:

  • NASC TG20:21 – industry-recognised standard for tube-and-fitting scaffolds
  • HSE Guidance – safe systems of work for scaffolding and towers
  • Work at Height Regulations 2005 – legal compliance for working above ground level

Where projects require something beyond a standard tower, we provide bespoke scaffold design drawings and engineering calculations to guarantee safety and stability.

Regular Inspections and Maintenance

Erecting an access tower is only the first step. To keep it safe, we provide:

  • Weekly inspections – required on all construction sites where towers are in use.
  • Fast repairs – quick response if any issues are identified.
  • Compliance records – inspection reports provided for your safety documentation.

This ensures your tower remains safe, secure, and legally compliant for the duration of the project.

Safe Dismantling and Site Clearance

Once your project is complete, our team carefully dismantles your scaffolding, following the same safety-first methods used during assembly. At the client’s request, we can schedule dismantling at a convenient time to minimise disruption to ongoing works or site handover. Prior to any dismantling, we prepare and issue site-specific RAMS to ensure every stage is planned and carried out safely. Our operatives manage the process with care, leaving your site tidy, secure, and ready for the next phase of work.

Frequently Asked Questions – Access Tower Scaffolding

Access Tower Scaffolding is a lightweight, mobile scaffold structure designed to provide a safe working platform for tasks carried out at height. It is ideal for projects such as roof repairs, painting, inspections, and general maintenance where full scaffolding is not required.
