Here at Tower Scaffolds, we supply a wide range of aluminium and fibreglass access towers for hire to support safe working at height across construction, maintenance, decorating, and facilities management projects. Serving and across the UK, our mobile tower scaffolds are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, providing a practical alternative to fixed scaffolding across varied site conditions.

Our tower scaffolds are available with flexible hire terms and rapid delivery options to meet short-term repair needs or longer project schedules. All equipment is compliant with EN1004 safety standards, with optional delivery, collection, and PASMA-certified assembly services available to support safe installation and efficient site operations.

How Much Does Tower Scaffold Hire Cost?

The cost of tower scaffold hire ranges from around £50 to £150 per week, depending on tower height, material type, and hire duration. Aluminium towers are usually more cost-effective, while fibreglass towers, often used in non-conductive environments, may be priced higher.

Costs are primarily influenced by tower height, length of hire, delivery and collection requirements, and whether PASMA-certified assembly services are included.

What Are Tower Scaffolds Used for on Sites?

Tower scaffolds are free-standing mobile access platforms designed to provide a safe working area at height without the need for permanent scaffolding. They are commonly used for electrical installations, painting and decorating, façade repairs, window replacement, ceiling works, and general building maintenance.

Their modular design allows quick assembly and easy repositioning, making tower scaffolds particularly suitable for projects that require repeated access to multiple work areas within a limited footprint.

Which Types of Tower Scaffolds Are Available for Hire?

Tower scaffolds available for hire are designed to suit different access requirements, working environments, and site constraints, including:

• Narrow-span towers – Suitable for confined spaces and restricted access areas.
• Wide-span and double-width towers – Provide increased platform space for tools and materials.
• Folding base towers – Allow quick setup and compact storage for short-duration tasks.
• Cantilever towers – Enable access over obstacles such as porches or extensions.
• Stairway access towers – Provide safer ascent and descent for frequent access.
• Adjustable-leg towers – Support stable setup on uneven or sloped ground.

Do Tower Scaffolds Meet Safety Standards Required?

Tower scaffolds supplied meet or exceed BS EN1004 standards for mobile access towers, making them suitable for use on commercial, industrial, and public-sector sites. Compliance with these standards is essential for maintaining safe working conditions at height.

Additional safety features may include non-slip platforms, lockable castors, integrated ladder access, guardrails, and toe boards to align with specific site safety requirements.

What Are the Advantages of Using Tower Scaffolds?

Tower scaffolds offer improved safety and stability compared to ladders, particularly for tasks requiring extended periods of work at height. They provide a secure working platform with guardrails and controlled access.

Their mobility and modular construction allow rapid adaptation to changing site needs, making them practical for projects where access points or working heights vary.

Is Assembly and Dismantling Support Available for Tower Scaffolds?

Tower scaffold hire services often include PASMA-certified assembly and dismantling support for sites without trained personnel. This ensures towers are erected and removed in line with manufacturer guidance and health and safety standards.

Professional assembly support helps reduce risk, improve compliance, and streamline site preparation for working at height.

Are PASMA Qualifications Required When Using Tower Scaffolds?

While the tower scaffold itself does not require certification, individuals erecting and using tower scaffolds are typically expected to hold PASMA certification. This is commonly required on commercial, public-sector, and regulated sites.

PASMA-trained operatives help ensure safe assembly, inspection, and use of access towers in line with best practice and site compliance policies.

Can Tower Scaffolds Be Delivered and Collected?

Tower scaffolds can be delivered across urban and rural areas, including residential properties, commercial premises, and construction sites. Delivery and collection are arranged to align with project timelines.

Same-day or next-day delivery may be available depending on availability, with scheduled collection once works are completed.

What Height and Platform Options Are Available for Tower Scaffolds?

Tower scaffolds are available with platform heights ranging from approximately 1.2 metres up to 12 metres, depending on configuration. Platform lengths typically range from 1.8m to 2.5m.

Additional components such as extension packs, trapdoor platforms, adjustable leg frames, and single or double-width configurations allow towers to be tailored to specific site access and working-height requirements.
