    Straight answers

    Edge Protection & Handrails questions we get asked

    What is edge protection in scaffolding?

    Edge protection is a safety system designed to prevent falls from height. It typically includes clip-on guardrails or handrails fixed to the edges of roofs, floors or parapets, giving a physical barrier for workers near a drop.

    How much does scaffolding cost?

    Scaffolding is priced per job, not off a rate card. The price depends on the height and length of the elevation, how many lifts you need, whether the ground is level and clear, how long the scaffold needs to stand, and whether the job needs a temporary roof, sheeting or pedestrian protection. We quote free and in writing, with the hire period stated up front so there are no surprises if the job overruns.

    When do I need temporary handrails or edge protection?

    During any project that involves working at height, especially roof work, solar panel installs, HVAC servicing or inspections. It suits short-term jobs where full scaffolding is not required.

    Are your edge protection systems SG4 compliant?

    Yes. All our edge protection and handrail systems meet SG4:22 guidance and are installed in line with industry best practice and site-specific risk assessments.

    How fast can you install edge protection?

    Lightweight, clamp-on systems can be deployed quickly with minimal disruption. We are used to working to tight schedules and will give you a clear start date.

    What areas do you cover?

    Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Norfolk and the wider East Anglia region, including Cambridge, Ely, Bury St Edmunds, Peterborough and more.

    I recently had a dormer window installed into my loft extension, I was recommended the company by a friend who received a quality service. On arrival they were professional and meticulous, they were also tidy and efficient, I had updates previous to their arrival and was given notice before they finished. They maintained a clean and friendly operation. Everything was completed on schedule and I would pass on contact details of Priority Scaffolding to anybody that would appreciate a 10/10 service.
