General Purpose Scaffold

We provide all manner of access scaffolds as well as internal and external scaffolds that allow you to safely access your project whether it is a new build, renovation, demolition, regeneration or maintenance development.

Special Duty Scaffold

Hang downs, crash decks, loading bays, birdcage structures, lay down platforms; edge protection systems as well as shoring & support scaffolds can all be provided to ensure you get the scaffold system that is specific for your needs.

Hygienic Specialist Scaffold

Our clean food safe scaffolds are used in areas where hygiene is of paramount importance. In these facilities Godiva equipment is presented as new having been thoroughly cleaned and only used previously for hygienic applications. Hygienic metal access ladders and hygienically sheeted planks are used throughout with plastic end caps and base pads to eliminate debris and protect surfaces. And just to make sure we have left nothing to chance, our team wear lint free overalls so there is no risk of contamination from them.

Asbestos Licensed Scaffold

Of over 18,000 scaffolding providers in the UK less than 200 have a license to erect scaffolding in areas containing asbestos to ensure you are getting the best and most appropriate service, we are one of those specialist providers.

Stair Access Systems

We provide a wide range of stair access systems from Haki stairs the most widely used staircase system in Europe through to Universal aluminium stair structures, basic stair treads, the Cup lock stair method and specialist Public Stair system.

Temporary Protection Systems

Godiva Scaffolding temporary protection systems have the quality and look of permanent structures but are less expensive and do not require planning permission for either a partition or enclosure whether internal or external.

A full range of materials guarantee technically measured sheeting properties that include contamination-free, non-flammable, sound-resistance as well as weatherproof and have significantly higher levels of protection than polythene sheeting. Godiva Scaffoldings materials do not rot or support bacterial growth and also have excellent high and low temperature characteristics that have no risk of cracking.

Containment Screening

Our containment screening system guarantees that no contamination from the construction area permeates into the live working area. We use temporary protection partitions to suppress any dust, debris and other contaminates (including smells) to ensure that your business can keep on running even during major refurbishment and change projects saving you thousands of pounds in lost production.

The Godiva system is very flexible and versatile for installation and can be adapted to virtually any structure. Major construction work can be carried out with little disruption to production, keeping people and working environments safe in a compliant manner.

Our temporary protection systems and containment screens protect your people, processes and products guaranteed

Safety Netting

Whenever there is a risk of fall of personnel or debris then debris netting becomes a secure method for fall arrest and debris protection. Whether used to protect the labour force working at height from the risk of falling or personnel working below, from the risk of falling debris, safety netting gives vital protection.
