That covers new build housing, industrial units, offices, schools, retail and listed buildings, with 2D and 3D scaffold design where the structure is not standard. We are CITB registered and CHAS accredited, our scaffolders hold CISRS cards, and we carry £10 million employers liability and £10 million public liability. We work to BS EN 12811-1 with TG20 and SG4 guidance.

What our customers say

We aim for five stars on every scaffold we put up. Here is what some of our customers have said about working with us.

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    I recently purchased some scaffolding poles and was extremely impressed with the service I received. A special mention goes to Kieran, who was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout. The company itself was immaculate, well-organised, and clearly takes pride in maintaining high standards.

    They came out promptly to quote which was competitive and advised what we would need along with some extra suggestions. The team who erected the scaffolding were all friendly and hard working and also took care of our property. I would highly recommend them.

    They gave me a quote and the next day their team turned up on time and carried out a solid installation as discussed. The guys were neat and tidy and the scaffolding was a proper solid job. I'd recommend KMS scaffolding for jobs big and small.

    Great service from KMS. Efficient, reliable and quick to respond. The job extended directly onto road so they applied for the relevant permissions on my behalf and liaised directly with the other professionals involved. I'm extremely grateful and would highly recommend their services.

    In a world where we seem to increasingly have to have real battles to get even the smallest things done and done properly, it's an absolute joy to make a couple of phone calls, send a few one liner emails and get this quality of work done within a few days without any fuss or drama.

    We are a London based construction company who was needing a scaffolding company near Diss. Following calling a few firms with not too much luck, managed to get hold of KMS and it was a fantastic service from the first phone call. Good price, amazing scaffold with very strong health and safety at mind. Would always recommend and use again when in the area.

Frequently asked questions

How much does scaffolding cost?

The cost of scaffolding will vary depending on the size, scope and duration of the project. Please contact us for a FREE no-obligation quotation where we can discuss your project requirements.

Do I need a permit to erect scaffolding?

A permit is needed by your Local Authority when a scaffold occupies a public footpath or road. It's important to ensure that you contact your Local Council and follow the required steps involved. If you would like our assistance on these matters, please contact us for more information.

How long does scaffolding take to erect?

The length of time it takes to erect scaffolding will vary depending on the size of the project and the type (e.g. domestic or commercial). A simple scaffold tower can take as long as a few hours to fully erect and be ready for use. More complex commercial scaffolding with multiple access solutions can take much longer. For emergencies we can attend the site and erect scaffolding much quicker.

Will the scaffolding cause any damage to my home or garden?

Properly erected scaffolding should not damage the building or the ground it stands on. Base plates spread the load, and where we need to stand on a lawn, a drive or a flat roof we pack and board it first.

If something does get damaged we carry £10 million of public liability insurance, so you are covered. We would rather avoid it in the first place, which is why the site gets looked at before anything is priced.

Are KMS fully insured?

Yes. We carry £10 million of employers liability insurance and £10 million of public liability insurance, and we can send the certificates over before we start if your site or your insurer needs them on file.

Our scaffolders hold CISRS cards, we are CHAS accredited and CITB registered, and every scaffold is erected to BS EN 12811-1 working to TG20 and SG4 guidance.

What locations do you mainly operate in?

KMS Scaffolding Ltd is based in Bury St Edmunds but can travel to all areas throughout Suffolk, Cambridge and Cambridgeshire. We can travel slightly further outside these areas, but this will depend on the type, size and duration of the proposed scaffold works.

Why choose KMS for your scaffolding project?

We have the equipment and the people to take on a project whatever its size or its budget. Finding the right scaffolder can be confusing, so we give a free quotation and a consultation on every enquiry, which means you are properly informed before you commit to anything.

A search for scaffolders will turn up dozens of firms. What we offer is a straightforward one: we take care of every aspect of the scaffold, from the first site visit through to the final lift, so it is one job you do not have to project manage yourself.

That covers scaffold hire and scaffold erection, so you have a single point of contact for the whole of the scaffolding on your project. Our operatives meet the current training criteria, and every scaffold is put up to the relevant standards.

If you are weighing up quotes, or you are not sure what the job actually needs, ring us. We would rather spend ten minutes on the phone getting it right than quote you for something you do not need.
