Leave the Scaffolding Licence to Us: Serving All London Councils and Beyond

At A Star London Scaffolding, we know that dealing with scaffolding licences can be a challenging part of your construction project. The paperwork, approvals, and navigating local regulations can quickly become overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to help — we handle the entire scaffolding licence process for you, ensuring compliance with every local council requirement in London and the surrounding areas. We are familiar with council preferences, which helps us navigate the process more efficiently. For instance, some councils may prefer more detailed site plans or additional risk assessments, and we adjust our submissions accordingly. From our experience, Camden Council, Richmond upon Thames, and Westminster are among the best councils to deal with. Method statements, sketch drawings, and project timelines are required by the council as part of the supporting documents. Council-specific document requirements may vary, and can include risk assessments, traffic management plans, insurance certificates, and engineering calculations depending on the council in question. We ensure all necessary council-specific documents are prepared and submitted accordingly. Additional documents may also be required by the council, such as risk assessments, proof of public liability insurance, and detailed site plans. Method statements and sketch drawings are required by the council as part of the supporting documents. Please note that scaffolding licences take a minimum of 10 working days to be issued.

Our team takes care of applying for scaffolding licences directly with the local councils, making sure your project is covered from start to finish. Whether your project is in Camden, Kensington and Chelsea, Croydon, or anywhere else across London, we’ve got you covered. By managing all the paperwork and liaising with councils on your behalf, we ensure you can focus on getting the work done while we take care of the legal requirements.

Efficient Licence Application and Traffic Management Plans

Applying for scaffolding licences is just one part of our comprehensive service. All scaffold operations on the public highway require a traffic and pedestrian management plan, and we ensure that your site is compliant with these essential regulations. Our management plans follow the guidelines outlined in Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual 1991 and the Safety at Street Works and Road Works Code of Practice. By ensuring proper signage, barriers, and pedestrian safety, we minimize any disruption and guarantee a safe environment for everyone involved.

Compliance and Safety — Your Peace of Mind

Compliance is our top priority. We ensure that our scaffolding complies with all local council requirements, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007. We always provide insurance coverage of £10 million, as different councils require different levels of insurance cover, offering added security and peace of mind for our clients.

Our services include:

  • Obtaining the necessary scaffolding licences from the appropriate local authority.
  • Coordinating with local councils to handle all necessary approvals.
  • Implementing comprehensive safety measures, including proper access routes for pedestrians and ensuring minimal disruption to traffic.
