Scaffolding West Midlands
Scaffolding Contractors Covering the Whole of the West Midlands
The West Midlands covers seven metropolitan boroughs – Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton – and each has its own mix of buildings. Glencross Scaffolding has worked across them for over seven years from our Birmingham base, with our own fleet of large vehicles, so we can take on a single house or a programme across several sites.
This page is the regional overview. For detail on a particular area, use the links below to our local pages.

Scaffolding across the West Midlands
Where We Work Across the Region
Birmingham: Birmingham, Edgbaston, Kings Heath, Bournville, Yardley, Jewellery Quarter, Erdington and Sutton Coldfield.
Solihull and Coventry: Knowle, Hampton in Arden and Coventry.
Black Country: Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
Beyond the region: Tamworth, Warwick, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, Rugby, Nottingham, Derby and Leicester.
The Black Country and Industrial Sites
The Black Country’s industrial heritage means canal-side warehouses, factories and workshops, many now being refurbished or re-clad. We provide industrial scaffolding, gantries and heavy duty load scaffolds for sites like these, including edge protection in West Bromwich.
Across the wider region our commercial work ranges from the Jaguar Land Rover site at Castle Bromwich to offices and shops; see our commercial scaffolding page.
Specialist Scaffolding Across the Region
Beyond standard access scaffolding, we provide:
• Birdcage scaffolds for internal ceilings and large open spaces
• HAKI stair towers and scaffolding towers
• Suspended scaffolding and drop lifts
• Asbestos removal scaffolding
• Aerial lifts and fall arrest safety netting
Homes Across the Region
Housing across the West Midlands runs from Victorian terraces and 1930s semis to post-war estates and large detached homes, and each needs a different approach to access. Recent domestic work includes a re-roof in Birmingham, a solar panel installation and a house at Church Lane in Handsworth Wood. See our domestic scaffolding page for the full service.
Developers, Builders and Multi-Site Projects
We have capacity for multiple properties at once and offer a full planning service, so you know when scaffolding is needed and when it isn’t. That suits housebuilders, refurbishment contractors and managing agents with sites in more than one town. See the Kenilworth Road new build for an example.
One Safety Standard Wherever We Work
The same standards apply on every job: we are fully insured, accredited through CHAS Elite, SafeContractor and SSIP, and our scaffolds are inspected after erection and at regular intervals. Licences for pavements and roads come from the relevant local authority – each of the seven boroughs has its own – and we can tell you who to ask. More on our health and safety page.
