What Is Tube and Fitting Scaffolding?
Tube and fitting scaffold uses individual steel tubes connected by couplers (fittings) to create a bespoke structure. Unlike system scaffold which uses pre-fabricated components, tube and fitting is assembled piece by piece, giving complete flexibility in design.
This makes it the best option for irregular buildings, tight spaces, complex geometries and situations where a standard system scaffold would not fit properly.
When Tube and Fitting Is the Right Choice
- Buildings with irregular shapes, curves or set-backs
- Restricted access where standard scaffold bays will not fit
- Heritage and listed buildings with features to work around
- Industrial structures such as tanks, silos and chimneys
- Situations where the scaffold needs to bridge obstacles or support unusual loads
Our Approach
We assess the site and design the scaffold to fit the exact requirements of the building and the work being carried out. Every tube and fitting scaffold we build is erected to TG20 standards and inspected before use.
For standard buildings, we also provide system scaffold which is quicker to erect. We will advise which option suits your project best.
Common Questions
Is tube and fitting more expensive than system scaffold?
It can be, because it takes longer to erect. However, for complex or irregular structures it is often the only practical option and avoids the need for costly modifications to a system scaffold.
How long does it take to put up?
Longer than system scaffold due to the bespoke nature of the build. We will give you a clear timeline as part of our quote.
