Services
Scaffolding
Magnum provides comprehensive scaffolding structures for construction, refurbishment, and maintenance projects. Our services include complex design solutions, proprietary equipment installation, and compliance with Working at Height Regulations. Clients benefit from reduced programme impacts through pre-engineered systems like Van-Thiel and Layher, while cloud-based inspection portals ensure ongoing safety compliance across sectors including aerospace, healthcare, and education.
Temporary Roofs
Specialist temporary roof installations protect sensitive projects during refurbishment. Using HAKITEC 750 roll-out methodology, we create weatherproof structures for listed buildings, churches, and industrial sites. Our systems combine speed of erection with safety compliance, eliminating civil engineering works through lightweight, adaptable designs suitable for uneven terrain and crane-lifted applications across Bristol and South Wales.
Shrink Wrap
Tufcoat heat-shrinkable wrap systems provide durable weather protection and containment for scaffolding structures. Approved installers apply recyclable materials suitable for aerospace, rail, and marine sectors. Benefits include 24/7 working capabilities, debris control, and modular construction in 3.05m segments. Mobile units enable rapid deployment across multi-industry projects requiring temperature-controlled environments or hazardous material containment.
Safety Inspections
Statutory scaffolding inspections comply with TG20:13 and Working at Height Regulations. Services include weekly audits, tie testing, and cloud-based tag systems for real-time compliance tracking. Our NASC SG19-compliant processes cover preliminary substrate analysis, proof testing, and documentation for client health and safety files, ensuring regulatory adherence across temporary works and high-rise cladding replacement projects.
Cladding Replacement
Specialist teams handle cladding replacement for high-rise residential and commercial buildings. Using proprietary access systems, we ensure safe, efficient material handling and installation. Projects incorporate weather protection measures and comply with latest fire safety standards. Recent work includes multi-storey residential blocks in Fishponds, combining structural integrity assessments with rapid deployment of temporary access solutions to minimise disruption.
