What raking shore scaffolding covers
Raking shores are angled supports that brace a wall or structure and transfer its load safely to the ground. We provide raking shores and other temporary support scaffolds to stabilise leaning, bulging or compromised walls, and to hold structures steady during structural repairs, alterations or demolition.
Where a building needs temporary propping while it is made safe or reworked, a properly designed shore keeps everyone and everything protected.
Who it's for
We work for builders and structural engineers, renovation and heritage projects, and property owners dealing with movement or storm damage.
It's often needed for structural repairs, opening up walls, supporting works alongside underpinning, and emergency stabilisation.
Designed, calculated and safe
Support scaffolds carry real structural loads, so they nearly always need bespoke design and calculations rather than a standard configuration. We provide design support in-house and build to TG20 and SG4 guidance.
Our CISRS-qualified, directly employed team, backed by NEBOSH-qualified health and safety support, makes sure the shore does its job.

Raking Shore Scaffold - Your Questions
What is a raking shore used for?
It braces and supports a wall or structure at an angle, transferring load safely to the ground while repairs, alterations or demolition take place.
Do support scaffolds need a bespoke design?
Usually yes. Because they carry structural loads, we provide in-house design and calculations rather than a standard scaffold.
Can you help with a wall that is leaning or has moved?
Yes. Get in touch and we'll assess the situation and design suitable temporary support. For urgent safety concerns, involve a structural engineer as well.
