In scaffolding, the difference between profit and loss often starts with the estimate.

From the first enquiry to the final quotation, estimating is one of the most critical commercial skills within a scaffold business.

That’s why Safety & Access is running a Scaffolding Estimator Course led by industry expert Paul Crabtree, who brings over 50 years of experience in the scaffolding industry.

Paul has worked across every level of the business, from the tools, to estimating, to managing multiple depots and has supported scaffold companies through major commercial disputes and adjudications worth hundreds of thousands (and even millions) of pounds.

His message is clear:

Good estimating
Clear quotation wording
Understanding the contract

These three things can prevent many commercial problems before they begin.

What the course covers

✔ Identifying customer requirements
✔ Practical use of estimating formulae
✔ Measuring drawings and site dimensions
✔ Material breakdown and costing
✔ Writing effective scaffold quotations
✔ Understanding contract pitfalls and variations
✔ Introduction to computer-based estimating
✔ Practical estimating project exercises

This course is ideal for:

• Scaffold estimators
• Contracts managers
• Depot managers
• Supervisors moving into estimating roles
• Scaffold company directors

If your business wants stronger commercial control over scaffold projects, this course provides practical knowledge from real industry experience.

When was the last time your scaffold was inspected?

Scaffolding inspections are critical to ensure structures remain safe, compliant and suitable for use throughout a project.

During a recent Safety & Access scaffold inspection, our team reviewed the structure to ensure it met safety standards and remained fit for purpose for those working at height.

Our inspections typically check:
• Structural stability
• Guardrails, toe boards and access
• Ties and bracing
• Condition of boards and fittings
• Overall compliance with regulations

Regular independent inspections help identify issues early and provide reassurance that scaffolds remain safe for everyone using them.

These images show part of the inspection process — reviewing connections, checking components and ensuring everything is secure.

👉 Does your organisation use independent scaffold inspections, or rely on internal checks?

If you require independent scaffold inspection services or advice, our team would be happy to assist.
