Bromley
When considering a scaffolding service in Bromley, it is important to know the key differences between commercial and domestic scaffolders. At Surrey Site Scaffolding, we are one of the most trusted scaffolding companies to serve the South East. Whether you are a homeowner requiring temporary access to a roof or a contractor overseeing a multi-storey development, our team can deliver safe, reliable and fully compliant scaffolding solutions to order.
We offer domestic and commercial scaffolding services across Bromley and the wider region. While the two services share fundamental principles, such as safety, structural integrity and access, practical application and planning vary greatly. Not every scaffolding company, and not all scaffolding erectors, will have the exact same approach as the scaffolders on our own team.
From scaffolding tower hire to temporary roofs, we offer an adaptable range of services based on size, scale, scope and, of course, whether the job is for the domestic or commercial sector. We discuss the differences between our domestic and commercial scaffolding services here so you know just what to expect, and how to choose the right scaffolding company for your needs.

The Scale and Complexity of a Project
One of the most noticeable differences between domestic and commercial scaffolding is the scale of the work. Domestic scaffolders in Bromley typically work on private residences to assist small-scale extensions, roofing repairs or repainting jobs. These jobs usually require straightforward access scaffolding that can be erected quickly and then dismantled with minimal disruption.
In contrast, commercial scaffolding projects are often more complex.
Office blocks, schools, retail units and industrial properties often require multi-tiered platforms, stair towers, edge protection and hoist systems. Because we are experienced scaffolding erectors, our commercial team must account for logistics such as large workforces, long project durations, and strict health and safety obligations. Commercially, our meticulous planning is essential.
A reputable scaffolding company will plan the job to perfection.
Site-Specific Safety and Compliance
Safety is a critical consideration onsite, but commercial scaffolding in Bromley often involves more rigorous risk assessments, regulatory compliance and the use of advanced safety systems. Commercial sites must adhere to the CDM (Construction Design and Management) regulations and other site-specific standards. Scaffolding companies will understand this legislation very well.
For domestic scaffolders, compliance is that much simpler.
Commercial scaffolders, on the other hand, will regularly collaborate with site managers, project coordinators and health and safety officers. The team at Surrey Site Scaffolding brings extensive experience to a job, managing high-risk environments with all risk assessments and method statements provided.
Domestic scaffolding still requires strict adherence to safety protocols, but the process is generally less complex. Homeowners in Bromley can rely on us to install safe, secure systems with minimum fuss – often within a single day.
Our scaffolding erectors are incredibly hardworking and versatile.
Scaffolding tower hire, and the supply of temporary roofs, will apply equally to the domestic and commercial sectors, and we can deal with both.
Timeframes and Accessibility
Another key difference between domestic and commercial scaffolding is the timescale involved. Domestic scaffolders usually work to shorter turnaround times and this requires scaffolding erectors to work around the homeowners’ personal schedule. Access may be sometimes limited and due care must be taken to protect gardens, driveways and any neighbouring properties.
In commercial settings, scaffolding companies work around tight timelines or multiple trades, and will manage large-scale logistics. Surrey Site Scaffolding coordinates deliveries, manages multiple crew members and will work during unsociable hours to avoid disruption to the client’s business operations.
All scaffolders work efficiently while maintaining the highest levels of safety.
Equipment and Materials Used
Scaffolding companies serving commercial clients in Bromley generally use a more robust and specialist range of systems. Tube and fitting scaffolds, system scaffolds, cantilever platforms and heavy-duty bays are commonplace in all commercial settings. A dependable scaffolding company will know this, and it will be a part of their remit to upscale operations to suit the project.
For domestic scaffolding, the requirements are simpler and focus more on the light-duty platforms needed for roofing, painting or gutter repairs. Regardless of the job, we only use high-quality and well-maintained scaffolding materials to ensure complete safety and structural stability in our scaffolding tower hire.
