Years Of Scaffolding Excellence
At SOS Scaffolding, we believe in doing things properly.
With years of experience supporting renovations, roofing projects and home improvements, we understand the importance of clear communication and scaffolding that is both safe and compliant.
We specialise in standard domestic and commercial scaffolding, providing secure working platforms for a wide range of projects throughout York.
To deliver safe, honest and reliable scaffolding solutions that support local homes and businesses, making every project simpler, safer and stress-free.
Our scaffolding installation provides safe, stable access for roofing, extensions, maintenance and home improvements across York. Suitable for terraces, semis and small commercial properties, every scaffold is professionally erected to recognised standards, ensuring your project is completed safely, efficiently and with confidence.
Our scaffolding towers offer quick and flexible access for smaller indoor and outdoor tasks such as decorating, repairs and maintenance. Delivered and assembled by our team, they provide a stable and secure working platform to help you work confidently and safely at height.
We carry out essential basic scaffolding inspections for domestic and small commercial scaffolds. Our checks cover stability, bracing, guard-rails and overall condition before first use. We do not offer tie pull tests and will always advise honestly if specialist testing is required.
Our temporary roof scaffolding protects your home and project from rain and harsh weather. Ideal for roofing works, loft conversions and major refurbishments, we create secure sheltered environments that keep your materials safe and your project moving without costly delays.
Whether you are repairing your roof, renovating your home or managing a property, we offer clear guidance and safe, reliable scaffolding tailored to your needs. Tell us about your project and get fast, friendly support.
We combine cutting-edge technology, years of experience, and international quality standards to deliver reliable solutions across every production line.
HSE provides essential advice on safe scaffold use, inspections and UK working at height standards.
CITB offers practical guidance and training to help people understand safe working and scaffold responsibilities.

Government regulations outline legal responsibilities for safer working at height and compliant scaffold use.
We provide scaffolding in York for a wide range of domestic and small commercial projects, including roof works, chimney repairs, extensions, painting and maintenance. Our service suits homeowners, landlords, small builders and local trades. We focus on standard scaffolding that offers safe access for straightforward work. For guidance on what type of scaffolding your project may require, you can refer to the Health and Safety Executive’s working at height guidelines, which provide helpful advice for planning safe access solutions.
The duration depends on your project; however, most domestic scaffolds remain in place for one to four weeks. We work closely with you to ensure your scaffold is erected on time and removed promptly once your work is complete. Regular checks are recommended to maintain safety and stability throughout the project. For more information on scaffold timing and safe use, the HSE’s scaffolding safety page offers useful insights on inspection requirements and recommended practices.
We specialise in standard domestic and small commercial scaffolding solutions that generally do not require advanced design work. While we handle all standard setups, we do not offer bespoke scaffold design for complex structures. If your project falls into this category, we will guide you clearly and honestly. For projects requiring specialist design guidance, the NASC provides detailed information on scaffold design responsibilities, which you may find useful when planning.
Our basic inspections cover essential safety checks such as stability, bracing, guard rails, toe boards and safe access. These inspections are suitable for standard domestic scaffolds that do not require tie pull tests or advanced verification. We always inform you if your scaffold needs a more detailed inspection from a specialist provider. For a deeper understanding of scaffold inspection requirements, the HSE publishes an inspection checklist that is widely recognised within the industry.
Yes, we offer free, no obligation quotes. Simply share your project details such as the type of building, the height required and the purpose of the scaffold. Our team will provide an honest assessment of what you need and what you do not. For general guidance on construction budgeting and planning, the CITB offers helpful resources that can support homeowners and landlords preparing for renovation works.
Temporary roofs are ideal for loft conversions, roofing projects and larger refurbishments where weather protection is essential. They help prevent damage and reduce delays caused by rain or strong winds. Not every project will require a temporary roof, and we will advise you accordingly. To learn more about the benefits of weather-protected working the HSE’s guidance on temporary works offers a helpful overview of when protective structures may be recommended.
