Fire & Safety Scaffolding Solutions

A multi-story building under construction or renovation, covered in scaffolding and white protective sheeting, with blue banners reading "TEMP SCAFF." External metal stairs are attached to the scaffolding, and the scene is illuminated by outdoor lighting during twilight or early evening.

Specialist Access & Fire Protection Infrastructure

Fire safety is a critical, often overlooked component of large-scale construction and renovation. At Temp Scaff, we provide specialized Fire & Safety Scaffolding designed to protect both the workforce and the building's occupants.

From providing fire-compliant escape routes on occupied high-rises to installing flame-retardant containment systems for cladding remediation, we ensure your site meets the latest UK building safety regulations and insurer requirements.

Our Fire Safety Solutions

We integrate fire prevention and emergency egress into every stage of the scaffold design:

Emergency Escape Stairs: Robust, non-combustible stair towers designed to provide clear, wide-access evacuation routes for site personnel and residents.
Flame-Retardant Sheeting & Netting: We use only LPS 1215 or TS62 certified fire-retardant materials to prevent external fire spread, essential for projects in high-density areas.
Non-Combustible Components: Substitution of traditional timber boards with steel or fire-treated alternatives in high-risk zones.
Fire Detection Integration: Working with fire safety specialists to install Linear Heat Detection (LHD) cables and wireless alarm points across the scaffolding framework.
Fire Break Installation: Strategic design of scaffolding to prevent the "chimney effect" and slow the vertical spread of fire during facade work.

Compliance & Peace of Mind

Following the Building Safety Act and post-Grenfell regulations, the accountability for fire safety on scaffolded buildings has never been higher. Temp Scaff provides:

Risk-Based Design: Scaffolding plans that account for fire-fighting access and internal fire compartmentation.
Insurer-Approved Standards: Our materials and methods align with the Joint Code of Practice for fire prevention on construction sites.
Expert Inspections: Regular safety audits that include the checking of fire-critical components, ensuring escape routes remain unobstructed 24/7.
Specialist Expertise: Based in Cornwall, we are experienced in managing the logistical and safety challenges of occupied residential blocks and commercial refurbishments.
