Heywood Scaffolding Services began trading in 1983 by its current directors Carole and Allan Craigen. The company has always been situated in Heywood despite re-locating several times in their steady growth from the initial racks in their back yard to its current purpose built office/warehouse location.

The company gained certification of BS5750 (now BS EN ISO 9002:1994) in April 1992 and joined The National Access and Scaffold Confederation in April 1994.

Heywood Scaffolding has always adapted a philosophy of being able to give advice and service to our customers of the highest calibre and integrity and provide the highest standard of professionalism and attention to detail.

Pro-activeness in Safety and Training has always been high on the company's agenda with consistent re-investment in these areas.

Safety development and awareness was the initial reason for the company's current re-organisation. The company has disposed of 90% of it's traditional tube and couplers and has re-invested in new equipment from Holland (See Product Range section).

Traditional storage and loading systems have been radically re-designed to improve safety and efficiency.

Ease of use with the new equipment makes it easier to comply with recommended safe systems of work.

Heywood Scaffolding Services will continue to strive to provide the best possible customer service and quality of workmanship to all clients, new or old, large or small as well as operating a comprehensive and effective management system, implementing and embracing the latest technology and products.

Work undertaken varies from very small basic access scaffolds up to large specially designed structures including temporary roofs. A sample of this work is shown below.
