Statutory 7-Day Scaffold Inspections

Reliable Weekly Scaffold Inspections to Maintain Safety and Compliance

Statutory Scaffold Inspections Ltd provides professional, independent 7-day scaffold inspections for construction projects throughout the South West.

Scaffolding is a temporary structure that must remain safe and suitable for use throughout the period it's installed. Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, any working platform from which a person could fall 2 metres or more must be inspected by a competent person, before first use and at intervals not exceeding 7 days thereafter, as well as following adverse weather or modifications. Choosing an independent, third-party inspector eliminates conflicts of interest and ensures safety is never compromised for the sake of project speed.

Our 7-Day Inspection Process

We don't just check boxes — we provide a rigorous, independent assessment to keep your team safe and your project legally compliant.

Thorough Physical Inspection — every 7 days or after any modification. We physically walk and inspect the scaffold from the ground up, checking foundations, ties, bracing, ledger and transom spacing, guardrails, toe boards, and boarding for any signs of displacement, damage, or unauthorised modification.

TG20:21 and BS EN 12811 Compliance Check — we verify the structure aligns with the relevant TG20:21 compliance sheet or bespoke design drawings.
Immediate On-Site Reporting — if any issues are found, we flag them immediately to your site manager so they can be rectified, and update the Scafftag on-site to clearly show the structure's current status.
Digital Inspection Report — delivered within 24 hours. You receive a detailed, statutory digital inspection report forming your legal paper trail, ready to present to HSE inspectors or principal contractors at a moment's notice.

Why Choose an Independent Inspector for Your 7-Day Inspections

The HSE heavily scrutinises "self-inspection" when accidents occur. An independent inspector provides an unbiased, professional buffer that protects your business.

100% Unbiased Auditing — we have no commercial interest in scaffolding supply or build speed, so you get honest, objective safety assessments.

Reduced Liability — using a qualified external inspector demonstrates a proactive, gold-standard approach to health and safety, giving you robust independent proof of compliance in the event of an HSE audit or incident.

Expert Competence — with 8 years of specialised hands-on inspection experience, we spot hidden hazards, such as subtle structural alterations or overloaded platforms, that busy site teams might overlook.
