And How Our Partnership with Silvercrest Scaffolding Saves You Money
When homeowners think about installing solar panels, scaffolding isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind. It’s one of the most important components of a safe, efficient and compliant solar installation. At SolarTherm UK, we take scaffolding seriously, so much so that we work closely with our sister company, Silvercrest Scaffolding, to ensure every project is completed to the highest standard while keeping costs down for our customers.
In this article, we’ll explain why scaffolding is essential, how it impacts the installation process and why our in house arrangement with Silvercrest Scaffolding sets us apart.
Why Scaffolding is Essential for Solar Installations
Solar installations almost always require working at height, whether panels are being fitted onto a pitched roof, flat roof or high elevation property. Scaffolding provides:
1. A Safe Working Environment
Safety is the number one priority, proper scaffolding ensures that installers have stable access to all areas of the roof, reducing the risk of slips, trips and falls.
2. Faster Installation Times
With the right scaffolding set up, our team can work more efficiently. Clear access reduces delays and allows us to complete installations quicker, meaning less disruption for you.
3. Compliance with UK Health and Safety Regulations
Solar installations must comply with strict working at height regulations. Scaffolding ensures we meet all the legal and safety obligations on every project.
4. Protection for Your Property
Scaffolding not only protects installers, it also protects your home from accidental damage during panel placement, wiring or roof work.
How Using Our Sister Company, Silvercrest Scaffolding, Reduces Costs
Most companies outsource scaffolding to third party providers. This often leads to higher costs, scheduling conflicts, delays and inconsistent quality of scaffolding setups.
