Able Scaffolding Bath branded hot air balloon

Bath’s terraces, lanes and stonework are our day job

Working in Bath means Bath stone, terraced streets and access that has to be planned around the building rather than dropped in front of it. Able has been doing exactly that for more than 35 years, loading out of its own yard in the city and turning up already knowing which streets and rooflines are awkward. The work runs from a domestic roof job to larger commercial sites and more complex access.

Own equipment. Own transport. Own crews.

The materials are ours, the transport is ours, and the crew that turns up is ours.

That means Able can quote, supply, erect and dismantle the scaffold without passing the job between different companies.

“We have just used Able Scaffolding on a project on London Road Bath. The entire front building was scaffolded to allow us to make repairs to the front lead valley and decorate-repair the windows. These guys are brilliant, from Adrian through to the crews that erected and removed the scaffolding today. They are really competitive and a pleasure to work with. Many thanks”

“Excellent service from these guys. The scaffold was exactly what we needed to do all the jobs required on three levels, as per the survey by Adrian, who was really helpful. The team was efficient and it's been stress-free throughout. Thank you very much”
