Scaffolds that encroach over pavements or roads require a licence from the local highway authorityhttps://www.hse.gov.uk/construction/safetytopics/scaffoldinginfo.htm#:~:text=Scaffolds%20which%20encroach%20over%20the,the%20public%20in%20the%20vicinity. SMS Ltd takes care of the entire process, liaising with councils across Staffordshire and the Midlands to obtain the necessary permissions under the Highways Act 1980. We prepare drawings, risk assessments and traffic management plans and ensure your scaffold design complies with local rules. Once permission is granted, our team erects the scaffold within the agreed timeframe, fitting warning lights, protective fans and signage as required. By managing licences for you, we help your project proceed smoothly and legally without delays.
