Scaffolding Inspection Services

When it comes to safety, nothing beats a professional, fully qualified scaffolding inspection service. At PJ Slater Scaffolding, we don’t just build safe structures — we make sure they stay safe.

Why Choose PJ Slater for Scaffolding Inspections?

We don’t take shortcuts. Every scaffolding inspection is carried out by our in-house safety officer — a specialist with:

• NEBOSH Construction & General Certificates
• Lead Auditor training
• Construction Fixings Association Anchor Testing Certificate

Full-Service Scaffold Inspection Options

Our inspections cover more than just ticking a checklist. We tailor each scaffolding inspection to match the risk level and scale of your project.

Here’s what we can do:

1. Basic Standing Scaffold Inspection

A thorough check of your scaffold’s stability, loading capacity, and visible condition. Perfect for sites that need routine verification in line with the Working at Height Regulations 2005.

2. Scaffold Design Compliance Check

Have a custom-designed scaffold? We’ll compare it against the original design drawings, ensuring the real-world structure matches spec — and safety expectations.

3. Full Site Audit

Need a deep dive? We can audit your entire site for:

• Operative qualifications (e.g. CSCS, CISRS)
• Risk assessments and method statements
• Rescue and evacuation planning
• Fire safety and anchor fixing checks

4. Scaffold Anchor Testing

We perform both preliminary pull testing and proof load testing to check that all anchors meet performance standards — especially important for brickwork, stone, or concrete fixings.

Every scaffolding inspection includes:

• A full written report
• Photographic evidence
