East & coastal Christchurch
Scaffolding in Sumner & Ferrymead
Coastal homes in Sumner, Redcliffs and Mt Pleasant come with their own challenges — steep sections, salty winds and tricky access. We've done a lot of work out east and know how to set scaffolds safely on hill sites.
Working in Sumner & Ferrymead
Sumner, Mt Pleasant and Lyttelton are hill-section country — steep driveways, retaining walls, cliff-edge boundaries and serious wind exposure. We use engineered tie-ins and base plates designed for sloped ground, and we never shortcut bracing on coastal sites where wind loadings are higher.
