Aluminium scaffolding is a clear favourite for numerous construction companies and small builders in home renovation projects. With over 15 years of experience and expertise, Reliable Access provides scaffolding hire service for commercial, industrial and residential projects, ensuring reliable solutions for every need.
The most common feature that makes aluminium scaffolding more desirable over steel scaffolding is that it is considerably lighter, more manoeuvrable. This is due to aluminium scaffolding possessing a unique property whereby any scratches will be protected by a oxidized layer. This product is engineered for safety and compliance with all required standards. Whereas steel scaffolding, when scratched, is prone to rusting, resulting in gradual weakening of the metal. In addition to that rust can potentially causing bleeding and unsightly discoloration on adjacent buildings when it comes into contact with them. In addition, alternate types of scaffolding such as fiberglass or wood scaffoldings are not as durable as aluminium scaffolding because they can develop cracks quite quickly. Aluminium scaffolding is a flexible solution that can suit a wide range of project needs, from houses to large commercial works.
At Reliable Access we provide the hire, design, installation and dismantle of a range of aluminium scaffolding solutions including scaffold towers which are available for immediate supply to suit many small project requirements.

Environmental Benefits
Choosing aluminium scaffolding equipment is not only a smart decision for your project, but also for the environment. Aluminium is a highly recyclable material, which means that scaffolding products can be reused and repurposed, significantly reducing waste and the demand for new raw materials. This reusability helps companies in the construction industry minimize their environmental impact and demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. Additionally, the lightweight nature of aluminium scaffolding reduces the need for heavy, fuel-powered equipment like cranes and lifts, further lowering greenhouse gas emissions on site. By opting for aluminium scaffolding, companies can take pride in supporting eco-friendly practices while still meeting the demands of modern construction.
