Roden Scaffold Service in short
Roden Scaffold Service is a family-run Horsehay scaffolder covering domestic, commercial and industrial work, with the longest stated history in this set, stretching back decades [1]. Its site states NASC compliance alongside CITB training and CSCS cards, and puts a written safety policy into every contract [1]. Our verdict is that this is the pick for awkward or industrial access where experience matters most.
Customer reviews are thin but fair, with Google reviews giving Roden Scaffold Service 4.0 across four ratings [2]. Out-of-hours cover is explicit, with an emergency call-out line beside the landline for urgent access problems [1]. What counts against it is the small review base and the absence of published insurance detail or a company record [1] [2].
Our verdict
Our judgement: Roden suits you if you value a long-established local firm for awkward or industrial access jobs, with a stated safety policy in every contract [1]. What counts against it is the thin review base and the absence of published insurance detail or a company record [1] [2].
