About Us
Craven Scaffolding Ltd is a well-established, family-run scaffolding company based in Wythenshawe, Manchester. We also have an additional yard in Stretford and have been in the industry for over 35 years. From these locations, we support scaffolding projects across Manchester and throughout the UK.
We provide professional commercial, heritage, industrial and residential scaffolding solutions for businesses, contractors, local authorities and private clients nationwide. With decades of combined experience, our team delivers a comprehensive range of access services tailored to the needs of modern construction, maintenance and refurbishment projects.
From multi-storey developments to complex industrial environments and sensitive heritage buildings, we design and install bespoke scaffolding systems that support safe, efficient working at height.
Experience You Can Rely On
Our team brings together a strong depth of knowledge across multiple sectors. We work with homeowners, individual clients, local authorities, commercial contractors and major blue-chip organisations, delivering scaffolding solutions that are fit for purpose and built to a consistently high standard.
We have maintained long-term working relationships through ongoing site maintenance and project-based contracts. These partnerships are built on trust, reliability and our ability to deliver safely, efficiently and in line with programme requirements.
Our services begin at the planning and design stage and continue through to installation, inspection and project completion. Every scaffold is carefully considered, ensuring it supports both operational needs and regulatory compliance.
Nationwide Coverage with Consistent Standards
Although based in Manchester, we operate throughout the UK, providing consistent quality, responsive support and expert guidance wherever a project is located.
We understand that reliable access structures are critical to meeting deadlines, maintaining compliance and protecting workforce safety. That is why we use high-quality materials, detailed planning processes and modern design techniques to deliver safe, stable and fully compliant scaffolding systems.
Whether the requirement is short-term access or a fully managed long-term project, we deliver cost-effective programmes backed by clear communication and professional project management.
Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Heritage Expertise
We are certified to erect all types of residential scaffolding, including custom-built structures designed to suit individual properties and specific project requirements. Our scaffolding is installed securely and professionally, allowing other trades to work safely and efficiently.
In the commercial and industrial sectors, we provide scaffolding for active sites, maintenance works and large-scale developments. We understand the pressures of operational environments where timelines, compliance and continuity are essential, and we work closely with contractors and site managers to support smooth project delivery.
Craven Scaffolding is also a trusted supplier for heritage projects across the UK. We have worked on buildings owned or managed by English Heritage and The National Trust, providing scaffolding for maintenance, refurbishment and reconstruction. Our approach is always sympathetic to the structures we support, ensuring historic buildings are preserved and protected throughout the works.
