Scaffolding across Birmingham, Solihull and the West Midlands
Local scaffolding company serving Birmingham
As a Birmingham-based scaffolding company, we understand the access challenges that come with working in the city – from tight residential streets and shared driveways to busy commercial frontages and live trading environments.
We work closely with local builders, roofers and property owners to:
- • Survey each site and understand how you work
- • Recommend the most suitable scaffolding system
- • Plan deliveries and collections around your programme
- • Erect, adapt and dismantle scaffolding safely and efficiently
You get clear communication from our operations team, reliable attendance on site and a consistent focus on doing things properly, first time.
Safety, inspections and compliance
Safety is at the heart of everything we do. All scaffolding is erected, altered and dismantled by trained operatives following current regulations and industry guidance.
Our approach includes:
• Site-specific risk assessments and method statements
• Properly maintained materials and equipment
• Regular scaffold inspections (including weekly checks)
• Clear signage, barriers and protection where required
We aim to give you complete confidence in your access arrangements, so you can focus on the work itself.

Scaffolding services in Birmingham
We offer a full range of scaffolding services across Birmingham for domestic, commercial and industrial projects.
Domestic scaffolding in Birmingham
We provide cost-effective scaffolding for homeowners and smaller contractors working on:
• Re-roofs and roof repairs
• Chimney repairs and removals
• Loft conversions and extensions
• Fascia, soffit and guttering replacements
• External painting and general maintenance
We understand that scaffolding around your home can feel disruptive, so we plan our work carefully, keep access clear where possible and dismantle as soon as the job is complete.
Commercial and industrial scaffolding
For shops, offices, warehouses and other commercial or industrial buildings in Birmingham, we design scaffolds that balance safe access with keeping your business moving.
Typical projects include:
• Refurbishment and façade works
• Roof replacements and overlay systems
• Cladding, glazing and signage installations
• Maintenance and repair works at height
We coordinate with main contractors and site managers, taking into account deliveries, pedestrian routes and neighbouring properties to minimise disruption.
New-build and developer scaffolding
Glencross Scaffolding also supports new-build and housing developments across Birmingham and the wider area. We can provide:
• Scaffolding for multi-plot housing sites
• Staged scaffolds for brickwork and roofing
• Loading bays, stair towers and edge protection
We’re used to working within wider construction programmes, adapting scaffolds as plots progress and liaising closely with site management and other trades.
Temporary roofs and specialist access
Some projects need more than a standard scaffold. We can design and install:
• Temporary roofs and weather protection
• Birdcage scaffolds for internal works
• Edge protection and guardrails
• Stair towers and access solutions
• Gantries and loading platforms
If your project has unusual access requirements, restricted space or sensitive surroundings, we’ll work with you to find a safe, practical solution.

Once agreed, we plan the scaffold layout, schedule our team and confirm dates for erection. - Erection and handover
Our operatives erect the scaffold safely, in line with agreed methods. We’ll walk you through access arrangements and answer any questions on site. - Inspections and alterations
We can carry out regular inspections and make agreed alterations as your project progresses. - Dismantling and removal
When the work is complete and you no longer need the scaffold, we return to dismantle and clear everything away.
Scaffolding FAQ’s
- Do you only provide scaffolding in Birmingham, or do you cover surrounding areas too?
We’re based in Birmingham and carry out scaffolding work across the city and surrounding areas, including places like Solihull, Shirley, Hall Green, Yardley, Acocks Green, Kings Heath, Moseley and Sheldon. If your project is in or around Birmingham, get in touch and we’ll let you know if we can help. - How much does scaffolding cost in Birmingham?
Scaffolding costs vary depending on the size and height of the building, how complex the access is, how long you need the scaffold for and whether you need extras such as loading bays or stair towers. Once we know more about your Birmingham project, we’ll provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what’s included. - How far in advance should I book scaffolding for a Birmingham project?
The more notice you can give, the better – especially during busy periods. Ideally, contact us a few weeks before your planned start date so we can visit the site, design the scaffold and schedule our team. If you have urgent works in Birmingham, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate you. - Do I need a licence for scaffolding on Birmingham pavements or roads?
If scaffolding needs to go on a public pavement or highway in Birmingham, a licence from Birmingham City Council is normally required. Additional measures such as lighting, protection fans or hoarding may also be needed. We can advise you on what’s required and help put the right arrangements in place before work starts. - Can you provide scaffolding for both domestic and commercial projects in Birmingham?
Yes. We work with homeowners, small builders, roofers and main contractors on a wide range of domestic, commercial and industrial projects in Birmingham. From terraced re-roofs and extensions to larger refurbishments and new-build developments, we design scaffolding to suit the site, the programme and the way you work. - Who is responsible for scaffold inspections on my project?
Scaffolding must be inspected by a competent person after it’s erected, at least every seven days, and after severe weather or any event that could affect its stability. We can carry out inspections as part of our service in Birmingham, or agree responsibilities with your principal contractor, depending on how the project is set up. - How long can the scaffolding stay up for?
Your quotation will include a standard hire period for your Birmingham project. If your works overrun, the scaffold can usually stay in place for longer as long as it remains safe and is inspected regularly. Just keep us updated on your programme and we’ll work with you to extend the hire if needed.
