At RSG Scaffolding, we believe in providing reliable, safe, and efficient access solutions for every job — whether it’s domestic, commercial, or large-scale industrial. One of our most versatile tools? The scaffold tower.
What is a Scaffold Tower?
A scaffold tower is a self-standing access platform that provides elevated working space without the need for tie-ins or permanent structures. It’s ideal when you need flexibility and quick setup. At RSG, we use scaffold towers that meet all relevant safety regulations and ensure that our clients can work at height confidently.

Common Uses for a Scaffold Tower
Here are some typical scenarios where our scaffold towers come into play:
- Roof repair or gutter replacement on domestic properties
- Painting or maintenance of tall walls or facades
- Chimney access and repointing work
- Window cleaning on multi-storey buildings
- Interior high-ceiling work, lighting, or HVAC installations
How to Choose the Right Scaffold Tower Setup
When selecting a scaffold tower, consider:
- Working height required – Make sure the tower reaches the level where you’ll be working, plus safe access steps.
- Surface & ground conditions – It must be stable and level; proper base plates, adjustable legs or outriggers may be required.
- Material & build quality – Aluminium or steel options; check guardrails, toe boards and platform integrity.
- Compliance & inspection – Ensure the scaffold tower meets current safety standards and has been inspected before use.
- Access & egress – Safe steps or ladders, clear platforms, and safe route to the tower.
