A local firm, trading since 2008, with scaffolders who have been in the trade a good deal longer.
Based in Bury St Edmunds, KMS Scaffolding Ltd started trading in 2008 and is now a well established scaffolding company working on domestic and commercial projects across Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Our scaffolders are fully trained and qualified, and everything we put up meets the current standards and health and safety regulations.
We are CHAS accredited and CITB registered, all our staff hold the relevant CISRS qualifications, and we are approved by Suffolk County Council Trading Standards. We carry £10 million of public liability insurance and £10 million of employers liability insurance.
Every project is assessed for risk before any scaffold goes up, so that hazards can be designed out rather than worked around, and everyone on site knows where they stand. Those findings come to you in writing as a risk assessment and method statement, and the scaffold is inspected through the life of the hire rather than signed off once and forgotten.
Whether it is domestic scaffolding, commercial scaffolding, access scaffolding or a temporary roof, ask us for a free quote and a consultation and we will tell you what the job actually needs.

Frequently asked questions
How much does scaffolding cost?
The cost of scaffolding will vary depending on the size, scope and duration of the project. Please contact us for a FREE no-obligation quotation where we can discuss your project requirements.
Do I need a permit to erect scaffolding?
A permit is needed by your Local Authority when a scaffold occupies a public footpath or road. It's important to ensure that you contact your Local Council and follow the required steps involved. If you would like our assistance on these matters, please contact us for more information.
How long does scaffolding take to erect?
The length of time it takes to erect scaffolding will vary depending on the size of the project and the type (e.g. domestic or commercial). A simple scaffold tower can take as long as a few hours to fully erect and be ready for use. More complex commercial scaffolding with multiple access solutions can take much longer. For emergencies we can attend the site and erect scaffolding much quicker.
Will the scaffolding cause any damage to my home or garden?
Properly erected scaffolding should not damage the building or the ground it stands on. Base plates spread the load, and where we need to stand on a lawn, a drive or a flat roof we pack and board it first.
If something does get damaged we carry £10 million of public liability insurance, so you are covered. We would rather avoid it in the first place, which is why the site gets looked at before anything is priced.
Are KMS fully insured?
Yes. We carry £10 million of employers liability insurance and £10 million of public liability insurance, and we can send the certificates over before we start if your site or your insurer needs them on file.
Our scaffolders hold CISRS cards, we are CHAS accredited and CITB registered, and every scaffold is erected to BS EN 12811-1 working to TG20 and SG4 guidance.
What locations do you mainly operate in?
KMS Scaffolding Ltd is based in Bury St Edmunds but can travel to all areas throughout Suffolk, Cambridge and Cambridgeshire. We can travel slightly further outside these areas, but this will depend on the type, size and duration of the proposed scaffold works.
Why choose KMS for your scaffolding project?
We have the equipment and the people to take on a project whatever its size or its budget. Finding the right scaffolder can be confusing, so we give a free quotation and a consultation on every enquiry, which means you are properly informed before you commit to anything.
A search for scaffolders will turn up dozens of firms. What we offer is a straightforward one: we take care of every aspect of the scaffold, from the first site visit through to the final lift, so it is one job you do not have to project manage yourself.
That covers scaffold hire and scaffold erection, so you have a single point of contact for the whole of the scaffolding on your project. Our operatives meet the current training criteria, and every scaffold is put up to the relevant standards.
If you are weighing up quotes, or you are not sure what the job actually needs, ring us. We would rather spend ten minutes on the phone getting it right than quote you for something you do not need.
