Upright Scaffold Ltd in short
Upright Scaffold Ltd is a Halesfield scaffolding contractor covering commercial, industrial, domestic and specialist jobs including listed buildings, behind a limited company active since March 2010 [1] [2]. Its site states CISRS-qualified and CSCS-licensed scaffolders, full employee and public liability insurance, and stated local-authority approvals [1]. Our verdict is that this is the most documented contractor in the set for demanding commercial briefs.
Customer reviews are modest but positive, with Google reviews giving Upright Scaffold 4.2 from a small base [3]. Commercial terms stand out, with a four-week free hire period on every erection plus regular safety inspections [1]. What counts against it is that small review base, with pricing unpublished beyond the hire terms and no VAT position stated [1] [3].
Our verdict
Our judgement: Upright suits you if you want a documented contractor for commercial, listed-building or confined-space work, with approvals and inspection routines on the record [1]. What counts against it is a modest review base at 4.2 from 5 ratings [3]. Pricing beyond the hire terms stays unpublished [1].
