Scaffolding for social housing

Framework-experienced, resident-safe scaffolding for housing associations, local authorities, and the Tier 1 contractors who deliver their programmes. 

Why the social housing sector chooses SSG Scaffolding

Social housing scaffolding is where SSG Scaffolding delivers at the greatest scale. Work happens in occupied homes, across multiple properties, under framework compliance and reporting requirements. We have the crew depth, resident-safe systems, and documentation to deliver retrofit and maintenance scaffolding programmes that keep residents safe and programmes on track.

We hold framework relationships with Tier 1 contractors including Fortem, Wates, Equans, SureFire Management Services, and Synergize Ltd, and are the sole framework scaffolding contractor for scaffolding on a five-year planned and responsive framework with Salix Homes. Programmes delivered include solar PV access for Sanctuary Housing via Fortem (100+ properties per month), a 90-property programme for LHP via Fortem delivered in 30 days, the Matson Avenue decarbonisation retrofit in Gloucester with Synergize Ltd, and a 225-property solar access programme for STAR Housing in Shrewsbury, alongside further retrofit programmes across Gedney, South Derbyshire, and Bolsover - all delivered with consistent zero-incident, on-time performance.
