Scaffolding access partner for
solar contractors

Roof-edge access, fragile roof protection, and crew sequencing that gets your PV installers safely onto the roof and keeps installation on programme.

Your access partner,
not a competitor

SSG Scaffolding is the access specialist for solar PV installation. We provide the scaffolding and roof access; your teams install the PV. We work alongside solar and electrical contractors as the access partner - we do not install solar and we do not compete for your installation work.

Solar installation is a sequenced, multi-trade activity. We coordinate scaffold erection so access is ready for your installation window, hold it through the install, and dismantle promptly on completion. We mobilise quickly - often within 48 hours for short-notice requirements - so a moving installation programme does not leave you waiting on access.

We have delivered solar access at significant scale: - STAR Housing, Shrewsbury - 225-property residential solar PV access programme. - LHP via Fortem - 90-property solar PV scaffolding programme delivered in 30 days.

These demonstrate the crew depth and sequencing discipline solar programmes demand, with consistent zero-incident, on-time delivery.
