How we build a scaffold, step by step

How we build
Start level.

Base plates and sole boards go down first. Everything above depends on them, so we get them right.

Standards go up.

The vertical tubes carry the load. Plumb, straight and on firm ground.

Ledgers and couplers.

Horizontal ledgers tie the standards together, one lift at a time, every coupler tightened.

Boards in.

Working platforms with toe boards, so your team has room to work, not just to stand.

Braced, guarded, tied in.

Diagonal bracing, guard rails, a ladder and ties to the building.

Ready for your team.

We build the structure that lets everyone else get to work.

What are you building?

Pick the one that sounds like you.

Doing work on your house?

Chimney, roof, render, windows or an extension — most jobs need safe access before anyone starts. We'll scaffold the house, keep it tidy and take it down when the work's done.

  • Front, rear or full-house scaffolds
  • Roof, chimney and eaves access
  • Clear price before we start
  • Taken down when your builder is finished

Roofing job coming up?

Roof repairs and re-roofs live or die on access. We scaffold to eaves and ridge, with boarded lifts and edge protection, and we're there when you say you're ready.

  • Eaves and ridge access
  • Chimney and gable work
  • Quick quotes, so you can price jobs fast
  • Repeat work welcome

Installing solar panels?

Panels and cabling mean a lot of time at roof height. A properly scaffolded elevation gives your crew a safe working platform and somewhere to land materials.

  • Full-elevation access to the roof
  • Platforms sized for panel handling
  • Booked around your install dates
  • Standing arrangements for regular installers

Running a build programme?

Extensions, lofts, refurbishments and new builds — we scaffold to your programme and alter it as the job moves on. One call, one number, a straight answer.

  • Extensions, lofts and refurbs
  • New build scaffolds
  • Alterations and strikes to your schedule
  • Trade accounts for repeat sites

  • High-street and shopfront scaffolds
  • Industrial unit elevations
  • Planned around footfall and deliveries
  • Clear communication from first call to strike

35+ years in the trade.

Armour is run by someone who has spent more than three decades around scaffolding. That shows up in the small things: turning up when we say we will, picking up the phone, and taking it down when the job's finished.

"Very reliable. Turned up to erect as planned and did not delay in removing upon completion."Mr D Simms, customer
