What we do
Specialist scaffolding covers the jobs a standard independent scaffold cannot do. Suspended scaffolds secured at the top of a building rather than from the ground, so passers-by are not inconvenienced on tall buildings in busy areas. Supported scaffolds including rolling towers, system scaffold, frame scaffold and access scaffolds. Suspended scaffolds including single point, two-point and swing stages. Mast supported access including lifts and hoists.
We visit the site, discuss the job and design the solution around it, for homeowners with a difficult repair and for contractors on large commercial developments across Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Suffolk.
Free site visit and a written quote. Mon to Fri, 7:00am to 8:00pm.
About Priority Scaffolding
Priority Scaffolding (Cambridge) Ltd is a family-run scaffolding company based on Peverel Road in Cambridge. The same team handles the survey, the design, the erect and the strike, from a single domestic tower to a multi-site commercial programme.
CHAS and SafeContractor accredited through SSIP, Constructionline Gold, £5m public liability cover, CISRS trained scaffolders, and every scaffold erected to TG20:21 and SG4:22 with the drawings, calculations and RAMS supplied for your site file.
Why Priority
Building the company from the ground up means you deal with people who have actually erected the scaffold, not a call centre.
Design drawings, calculations and RAMS supplied for the site file, so your start date is never held up by admin.

On time, tidy, and off site when the job is done. That is why most of our work comes from repeat customers.
In detail
Scaffold suspended from the roof using wires and ropes so it can be lowered and raised as needed. The answer for tall buildings on busy roads where a ground-based scaffold is not practical.
Scaffold for churches, colleges, period properties and listed buildings, designed to protect delicate fabric and to suit the conservation officer’s conditions.
Scaffold on pavements, narrow lanes and city centre frontages, with pedestrian protection and the local authority permit arranged for you.
Scaffold fully enclosed in sheeting for weather protection and dust control, so cleaning, repointing and painting can go on in any season.
Chimney scaffolds, clock towers, spires and structures that will not take a standard scaffold, with drawings and calculations for every design.
Our work
Straight answers
Specialist scaffolding is any scaffold that needs a bespoke design rather than a standard independent scaffold. That includes suspended scaffolds hung from the roof, system access, sheeted enclosures, and scaffolds for heritage buildings, towers and awkward sites. For smaller or shorter-term access, see our scaffold tower hire for smaller access jobs.
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.
Yes. We design scaffolds for listed and period buildings around the fabric of the building and the conservation conditions, and can add a temporary roof where the repair needs it.
Yes. Where a scaffold sits on the public highway we arrange the local authority permit as part of the job.
Yes. Every specialist scaffold is backed by accurate drawings and structural calculations, supplied for your site file along with the RAMS.
We are based in Cambridge and work across Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Suffolk, including Bury St Edmunds, Huntingdon, St Ives, Royston and the surrounding areas.
