Access for shops, offices, managed premises and new build, with the design, RAMS and compliance paperwork supplied alongside it. £10m public liability, erected seven days a week so your premises keeps trading while the work goes on.
Meet JJ Cornwall Scaffolding Commercial scaffolding is access built for work on a business premises, a public-facing building or a construction site, where the structure has to carry trade loads, stand for the length of a programme and keep staff, customers and the public safe underneath it. It carries a documentation set the domestic equivalent does not: a design or TG20 compliance sheet, risk assessments and method statements, and a handover record.
The buyers are contractors, site managers, managing agents and landlords, and the questions are the same every time. Is it compliant. Can it go up without shutting us. Will it be there when the programme says. Is the cover right. All four are answerable in one visit and one written quote.
Roof work that has to stay dry sits on our temporary roof scaffolding page, conservation work on our heritage scaffolding page.
Pedestrian gantries and protective fans where the public passes underneath, with debris netting, lighting and signage. The footway stays usable and the premises stays open.
Elevation and full-perimeter access for roofing, cladding, window replacement and repointing, phased so occupied floors and entrances stay usable.
Access built and adapted lift by lift, working to the main contractor's programme.
Tall single-elevation access, internal birdcages for ceiling and plant work, and free-standing towers where there is nothing suitable to tie into.
Commercial work across Cornwall runs from high street gantries where the shop underneath stays open, through elevation access on managed premises, to new build programmes where the scaffold is adapted as the structure comes up.

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.

Read more on GoogleI would highly recommend this company. They were professional, efficient and punctual, even taking the rig down the day after we had finished with it and on a Saturday! Communication with Jordan was easy, much better than other companies that couldn’t be bothered.
Read more on GoogleVery efficient and professional set up. Thoughtful and thorough ... Jordan even adjusted the top access boards to ensure our builder had easier reach to fit the new flue linings for the chimney. We couldn’t recommend him more highly

Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 the duty sits with whoever controls the work, which is why the paperwork behind a commercial scaffold matters as much as the steel in it. According to the Health and Safety Executive's provisional figures for 2024/25, construction accounted for 35 of the 124 worker deaths recorded in Great Britain that year, around 28 per cent of the total and more than any other industry sector.
Jordan holds Advanced Supervisor and a second scaffolder on the team is Part 2 qualified. Four people and two gangs is a deliberate size: the person who priced the job is on site while it goes up, so a query goes to him rather than into an office.
Jordan James runs JJ Cornwall Scaffolding from a yard in Penzance and prices every commercial job himself. Ten years in the trade, Advanced Supervisor qualified, on structures where the compliance bar is set by a principal contractor. Jordan's experience includes the Dawlish rail reconstruction, South Crofty tin mine, Hayle viaduct and Lloyds Bank in Bristol, all as a subcontractor to larger companies.
“On a commercial job the paperwork carries the same weight as the steel. If the RAMS are not right on the Friday, nobody is working off that scaffold on the Monday.”Jordan James, JJ Cornwall Scaffolding
