Domestic Scaffolding

Scaffolding for homes and for the trades working on them. We put up access for solar panel installations, rendering, fascia and soffit work and chimney stack removals, then come back to take it all down when the job is done.

  • Solar panel installations
  • Rendering projects
  • Fascias and soffits
  • Chimney stacks

Temporary Roofs

A temporary roof gives the job weather cover, so the work underneath can carry on.

“Whether it’s tight access, awkward elevations, or weather cover, they always find a solution without fuss or delay.”

“Jordan and team were fab. They sorted the scaffolding ready for a solar panel installation. They kept us informed, were punctual, polite, friendly and took great care of our flower beds in our small garden.. Great service thank you.”

“The guys from JRT Scaffolding were amazing… prompt, friendly, hard working. In one day, they erected two sets of scaffolding for our solar panel installation and barely took a break on one of the hottest days of the year! I highly recommend them. :))”

“Brilliant service from JRT Scaffolding. The team couldn’t have been more helpful from start to finish. They turned up exactly on time, were flexible when plans shifted, and made smart adjustments to a tricky scaffold layout that made all the difference for the solar installation team. They also took extra care when placing scaffold on my neighbour’s property and went above and beyond by tidying everything up afterwards — leaving the space spotless and stress-free. There are scaffolding companies… and then there’s JRT Scaffolding, who genuinely go the extra mile. Quality, care, and customer service that stands out. Highly recommend! 👏🔧🏠”

“Professional, and Always Go the Extra Mile

I’ve used JRT Scaffolding exclusively on all my rendering projects for a while now, and I can honestly say they’re one of the best trades I’ve ever worked alongside.

From first contact to dismantle, the JRT team are consistently reliable, responsive, and professional. They don’t just “put up scaffolding” , they think ahead, ask the right questions, and make sure the scaffold is tailored exactly to what I need for the job. Whether it’s tight access, awkward elevations, or weather cover, they always find a solution without fuss or delay.

What really sets them apart is how proactive they are. They’re often on-site ahead of schedule, and if I ever need an adjustment or return visit mid-job, they’re quick to respond. No chasing, no excuses, just a solid team that delivers every time.

On top of that, the lads are respectful on-site, tidy, and great with clients. That matters a lot in domestic settings, where I need other trades to reflect the standards of my business.

JRT go above and beyond, and it shows in every job. If you’re looking for scaffolding that’s stress-free, safe, and done with pride, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.”
