We have been lucky enough to return to Plymouth Gin to erect a scaffold to the very tall chimney on the roof. We approached our friends at Raptor Design who created a design for the scaffold. Once approved, it was all systems go for the team to erect the scaffold. The first couple of days were spent getting the materials onto the roof to then start erecting from then on. The guys pulled it out the bag and created a work of art around the chimney that can been seen from miles around. Building relationships such as this one allows us to be involved with some fantastic projects in the area. #Plymouth #Gin #distillery #workingoutside #barbican #scaffolding #riggers #southwest #heritage #chimney

Work continues at the Cargo Building in Plymouth for our client Mercury Construction. This scaffold will allow work to be carried out on all parts of the balconies. This project will continue on all aspects of the building for the next 12 months. #scaffolding #construction #plymouth #devon #workingoutside #clients #scafflife #cargo #millbay #plymouthsound #building
One of the main bars in Newquay, Walkabout has been a central meeting place for revellers for many years. Holidaymakers, surfers and party people have come from all over the world to this small seaside town. The Walkabout bar is perched above one of Newquay’s many beaches and boasts some fantastic views and sunsets that customers have enjoyed for as long as the place as been there. In recent years the place was looking tired and very much in need of a revamp. Scafftec have erected a full scaffold to the building to allow decoration works to be carried out and bring this much loved pub back to life. We think that everyone will be looking forward to seeing the completed works and enjoying the summer in this newly cleaned up bar. #walkabout #newquay #surfers #cornwall #beach #workingoutside #scaffolding #revamp #runtothesun #boardmasters #nightlife
We as a company are very lucky to be able to work on some amazing buildings that are steeped in beautiful historic architecture. Tavistock Town hall is one of these buildings that has stood the test of time and continues to do so. First built in 1864, it stands proud in Bedford Square. This building was in need of essential maintenance and a clean up to keep the building looking grand and safe. We erected a scaffold to the front, side and rear elevation, followed by the chimneys and main tower. This certainly was a great building to work on and it was a pleasure to see it come back to life when the scaffolding was being dismantled. A job well done by all involved. #tavistock #council #dartmoor #historic #workingoutside #townhall #riggers #RMBuilders #stonemasons #heritage
Saltquay House in Plymouth had an issue where the cladding become loose after high winds hit the building. This was an ongoing issue before the scaffold was erected but due to the change in weather conditions it needed to be dealt with urgently. We were called in to erect a scaffold to the cladding so it could be safely removed and a new design of cladding installed. #Saltquay #barbican #HonkyTonk #riggers #summertime #workingoutside #plymouth #suttonharbour #scafftec #footanstey #sunset
Anyone can become a scaffolder and many of them gain a wealth of experience but only a few have the head for heights and the eye for detail. They are the ones that won’t just throw anything in there but will get the tape out and measure the correct tube to make the job look that little bit more tidy and professional. These are the guys that will get down, stand back, and think “I did that” with pride in their work. These scaffolders are the special ones, the go getters and the money earners and are worth every penny. And here at Scafftec, we are lucky to have a few, as proven through our pictures. Big thanks to the Scafftec teams.
