About us
Continued growth goes hand in hand with the training of our staff. Our staff profiles reflect our commitment to training, with a broad and diverse skill base. We see this as integral to our success, along with our membership of the NASC, which has reinforced our position as professionals within the industry.
We pride ourselves on enjoying a challenge. Under CDM regulations it is now recognised that effective planning helps the overall success of a project.
The sooner we can be involved in the planning stage of a project, particularly if we affect the critical path, the more effective we can be.
We are NASC accredited members. We are also a SafeContractor and Constructionline registered company. All of our workforce hold CISRS cards.
All types of scaffolding work undertaken and all contracts considered, right throughout the UK.
What we do
Heritage scaffolding, commercial scaffolding, temporary roofs and designed scaffolds are our specialist areas, but all types of scaffolding work are undertaken and all contracts considered.
SLS has undertaken many specialist heritage contracts that involve working with buildings of historical importance. Being aware of the needs of the client, the building and every agency involved with the project is something we enjoy.
SLS specialises in designed scaffold erection. We are more than able to build any scaffold to your design, or we can organise a design package for your project.
SLS has carried out a number of large new build office and factory contracts, and we can work to the client’s specification on most projects. Work has included a hospital extension, new lock gates in the Wash, schools, new build retail and offices, and specialist tank work.
We have carried out many contracts that needed a temporary roof, to keep the work going whatever the weather, and to protect listed buildings and fire-damaged work.
Project
Tube and fitting from the churchyard to the lantern of St Botolph’s, one of the tallest parish church towers in England.
For the restoration of the “Boston Stump”
We were first asked to advise on access for the architect in April 2017, brought in our preferred scaffold designers, Creator Ltd, for the working drawings, and won the contract in November 2018.
A traditional tube and fitting scaffold, 21m wide at the base, rising to lift 38 and 80m to the top lift, with an internal protection deck and a scaffold inside the lantern. It went up without damage to the façade: no bolt holes, no ties, no windows removed. We used the original putlog holes instead, and reveal ties where we could not.
“The project began for us in April 2017, when our Contracts Director and myself were asked to advise on access solutions for the original architect.”
Where we work
Our head office is in Boston, Lincolnshire. All types of scaffolding work are undertaken and all contracts considered, right throughout the UK.
