Safe access to tall structures and hard-to-reach areas across Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
Access scaffolding is essential for domestic and commercial projects when you need to access areas that cannot be reached easily. At KMS Scaffolding Ltd, we provide secure, reliable and affordable access scaffolding to ensure the safety and success of your project.
We provide access scaffolding in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire that is ideal for domestic and commercial projects that require access to areas that cannot easily be reached. These are particularly applicable to projects with tall structures where workers need safe access to work including new building projects, chimney scaffolds, roof scaffolds, developments and more.
We also take health and safety compliance very seriously for every access scaffolding service undertaken. Our policy is to provide a safe and healthy working environment for all those directly and indirectly involved in the project. Being CHAS and CITB approved, all our work is carried out to meet the highest standards of quality and assurance.

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.
