St Austell is the furthest east we work, and we would rather say that plainly than pretend we are round the corner. What you get instead of a same-day promise is a properly surveyed job, a written price, and dates for putting it up and taking it down that we can actually hold.
St Austell is about 45 miles from our yard in Penzance. Realistically that is an hour and a quarter each way with a loaded wagon, up the A30 to Innis Downs and then down the A391 past the clay country into the town. It is the furthest east we go, and we plan work there rather than squeezing it in.
The stock changes three or four times inside a couple of miles, which is the interesting part. The town centre around Fore Street is mostly pedestrianised, so a frontage there is a servicing and walkway problem before it is a scaffolding one. Climb east into Mount Charles and it is Victorian and Edwardian terraces on a hill, tight frontages and levels that need working out. Out at Holmbush the housing is largely post-war and interwar, driveways and open ground, which is the most straightforward access in the whole area.
Then two places that behave nothing like the rest. Charlestown is a Georgian harbour, listed and in a conservation area, where what you tie into matters more than what you build. And up above the town the clay country sits high and open, so wind across bare ground drives the sheeting decision on any job at that height.
Re-roofs, rendering, window and roofline work on the terraces at Mount Charles and the estates around Holmbush, with base protection agreed before we arrive.
A fully covered deck over the whole structure, which earns its place on any exposed job up towards the clay country where an open roof and an open hillside are a poor combination.
Shops, offices and managed premises around the town centre, with gantries and fans where the public passes underneath, plus RAMS and TG20 documentation.
For builders, roofers and main contractors working in the area. We supply it, erect it, maintain it and strike it ourselves, to an agreed hire period.
Stack access on the terraces where there is no ground to build from.
Specialist subcontract access for the conservation and restoration firms working on Charlestown and other historic structures.
Straight about the distanceAt 45 miles we will not pretend to be twenty minutes away. You get a date we can hold, and both ends of the job booked in, so you know when the scaffold arrives and when it goes.
Surveyed once, priced onceA proper look at the job and a written scope is what stops a second wagon coming back for something nobody spotted. That matters more at this end of the county than anywhere.
Nothing extra without your say-soIf the building changes what is needed, you get the price for it and we wait for your answer before we carry on.
£10m public liability, TG20 and SG4Jordan holds Advanced Supervisor and ten years in the trade.
Work at this end of the county tends to arrive with more notice, which suits everybody. A re-roof on a terrace at Mount Charles booked around the roofer's start date. A straightforward two-lift job on a Holmbush semi that goes up in a day. A commercial frontage in the town centre where the walkway underneath is the real design constraint. And subcontract access on the older stock nearer the harbour.

Read more on GoogleHonestly couldn't recommend JJ Cornwall Scaffolding enough. I’ve used these guys since they first started and have never had a single problem. They tackle everything from awkward little jobs to bigger projects with the same high standard of work. Great prices and a top notch crew. If you need scaffolding, give them a call. A few examples of the work for me.
