What Our Customers Say

A selection of the reviews our customers have left for us on Google, in their own words.

This was the first time that I had required the use of a scaffolding company. I couldn't have chosen better. Within one hour of my initial contact and having sent photos of my needs an estimate was provided.

The tone of both emails and phone calls were friendly and reassuring. The eventual site visit was professional and left me confident that the work was being undertaken by a very professional team.

The best was yet to come. The Company knew that I needed the work completed within a tight time frame. They delivered on their promise. Within days the scaffolding was in place - the construction was unobtrusive and completed very quickly.

I cannot recommend this Company enough.

A very professional team.

Thankyou for an excellent service, your team made putting up the scaffold look effortless and was done without fuss or disruption. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family.

This is the 3rd time I have called upon South West Scaffolding when maintenance of my old stone farmhouse has been needed. They are so wonderful to deal with. Quotes, working to drawings, adding changes to the layout as needed, polite reliable and they even turned off their radio for the entire 2 days without any sign of being upset or saying they needed it.

They were quiet assembling it, not flinging boards and poles around and all in all I can’t recommend them highly enough.

We were let down at last moment by another scaffolding company. These guys came out straight away and didn’t try to inflate the price because it was a last minute emergency job which meant my roofer could carry on as scheduled. Highly recommended!

First time I have had to hire scaffolding. I would certainly use them again. Great team of men to erect the scaffolding and communication back at the office from start to finish was excellent.

Excellent service.

I called them out a few times prior to supplying scaffolding as I made a few changes on what I needed and a site visit was done promptly and quote adjusted accordingly.

Scaffold was erected on the agreed date and a slight adjustment made when I requested it, which was really appreciated.

I'd definitely use them again.

SW Scaffolding installed a perimeter scaffold and temporary roof over our house extension project which saved an enormous amount of time, money, and worry over the winter. These guys know exactly what they are doing. They were quick, professional and reliable.

great scaffolding company. having worked for myself in property maintenance, they were one of the few that responded to an enquiry others simply did not. erected perfectly to allow easy access to strip and repair a bay window with leaking valleys. very prompt customer service to any messages. well recommended.
