Access Platforms and Handrail Systems by Just Scaffolding Ltd
Just Scaffolding Ltd designs and installs custom access platforms and handrail systems across Kent, London and the South East. We provide safe, compliant edge protection and access solutions for a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial project types where standard scaffolding alone does not meet the full access or protection requirement.
Access platforms and handrail systems serve a critical function on construction sites, maintenance programmes and occupied premises alike. Whether the requirement is a permanent or temporary handrail along an exposed edge, a bespoke access platform bridging a restricted area, or a full edge protection system for a flat roof or elevated working area, the solution must be designed precisely, erected securely and compliant with current working at height regulations. Just Scaffolding Ltd has the experience and technical capability to deliver.
With over 40 years of combined scaffolding experience, CISRS qualifications to NVQ Levels 2 and 3, CHAS registration, Safe Contractor accreditation and £10,000,000 public liability insurance, we provide access platform and handrail solutions that contractors, facilities managers and property owners can rely on. Every system we install is risk assessed, formally inspected and handed over as a compliant, documented structure before use begins.
Your Access Platform and Handrail System Questions Answered
Access platforms and handrail systems are safety critical installations. An incorrectly designed or poorly erected edge protection system creates risk rather than managing it. Just Scaffolding Ltd brings over 40 years of combined scaffolding experience to every access and edge protection project. We are CISRS trained to NVQ Levels 2 and 3, CHAS registered and Safe Contractor approved, with £10,000,000 public liability insurance. We design every system around the specific access requirement and compliance obligation of the project, not around what is quickest or most convenient to erect. Our seven-day operation across Kent, London and the South East means we are available when your programme demands it.
We design and install a broad range of access and edge protection solutions including temporary and permanent handrail systems for flat roofs, elevated walkways and exposed edges, bespoke access platforms for restricted or awkward areas where standard scaffold configurations are not practical, edge protection systems for construction sites and maintenance programmes, stair access towers and bridging platforms, loading bay protection and pedestrian segregation systems, and access solutions for mechanical and electrical plant and rooftop equipment. If your project requires a custom access or edge protection solution, we will design one around your specific requirements.
All temporary and permanent access platforms and handrail systems must comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and relevant British Standards including BS EN 13374 for edge protection systems. Just Scaffolding Ltd designs and erects every system in full accordance with current legislation and standards. We produce risk assessments and method statements for every installation and carry out formal inspections before handover, ensuring the system is compliant and documented before any operatives use it.
Yes. Many access and edge protection requirements do not fit a standard scaffold configuration. Restricted access routes, structural obstacles, unusual building geometry and live operational environments all present challenges that require a bespoke approach. Our team assesses each situation individually, designs a practical and compliant access solution around the specific constraints of the site and erects it to the standard required. We do not apply generic solutions to non-standard problems.
Yes. Handrail systems are frequently installed in occupied premises where ongoing edge protection is required during maintenance, refurbishment or construction activity. We have experience of working within live commercial environments, occupied residential buildings and operational industrial facilities. We coordinate with building managers and site teams to ensure installation is carried out safely and with minimal disruption to the occupants or operations of the building.
Access and Edge Protection Solutions Designed Around Your Project
Every access platform and handrail system Just Scaffolding Ltd installs begins with a clear understanding of what the project requires. The height, span, load, duration and regulatory framework all inform the design before a single component is erected. We work closely with principal contractors, facilities managers, roofing contractors and property owners to ensure the access or edge protection solution we provide is appropriate for the task, compliant with current standards and practical for the team using it. Clear scope, precise erection and formal handover on every project, without exception.
Working With Just Scaffolding
Access Requirement Assessment and Quotation
Contact us with your project details including site address, the nature of the access or edge protection requirement, any structural constraints and your programme dates. We will assess the specific requirements, design an appropriate system and provide a clear, itemised quotation with full scope detail and no hidden costs.
Installation, Inspection and Compliant Handover
Our CISRS-trained team will install your access platform or handrail system to the agreed programme and specification. A formal inspection is carried out on completion and the system is handed over with full documentation confirming compliance before use begins.
Maintenance, Adaptation and Removal
Throughout the project we remain available for system adaptations, inspection requirements and programme changes. On completion, we arrange prompt dismantling and removal of all components where the installation is temporary, leaving the site fully clear and signed off to your satisfaction.
