Our Machines

No Scaffold. Just the Right Machine.

Scaffolding is slow to put up, costly and often not practical. Our machines drive in, reach the job and leave nothing behind.

  • Quicker to StartNo waiting for poles to go up, or to come down.
  • Less DisruptionDoors, windows and car parks stay clear.
  • Lower CostYou pay for the work, not for a scaffold.

    Two Tracked Spider Lifts

    Light enough for lawns and drives, with the reach to get over a roof to the stack behind it.

  • Our liveried truck-mounted platform set up on a lawn beside a Georgian hall

    Two Truck-Mounted Platforms

    Drive in, set up and work from the road or the yard. Ideal for gutters, frontages and signs.

    One Indoor Platform Lift

    A 10 m platform lift for warehouses, workshops and high ceilings.

    One DJI Mavic Drone

    Shows us the roof, gutters and stacks before anyone goes up, and helps find lost pets.

Where no machine fits, our rope access team, members of IRATA International, works down the face of the building instead.

FAQs

Questions We Get Asked.

Something else on your mind? Call 01473 353 299 and ask one of the team.

Do I need scaffolding?

Usually not. Our cherry pickers reach most roofs, gutters, chimneys and high ceilings without it, and our rope access team covers the rest. That saves the time, cost and mess of putting a scaffold up.

Do you just hire out cherry pickers?

We do more than hire. Our machines come with our own trained operators, and usually the trade skills to do the job from the basket, so you deal with one team from quote to clean-up.

Which areas do you cover?

We’re based at Harkstead, near Ipswich, and work across Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk. If you’re just outside, ask anyway.

Do you work on homes as well as commercial buildings?

Yes. We work for businesses, landlords and property managers, and on family homes too: roofs, chimneys, gutters and solar panels.

How much will it cost?

It depends on the height, the access, the machine and how long the job takes. Tell us what needs doing, with a photo if you can, and we’ll give you a free quote.

Are you qualified to work at height?

Yes. Our operators are trained and certified, and we’re members of IPAF and IRATA International. Ask and we’ll send the paperwork with your quote.

Can you rescue a stuck drone, or find a lost pet?

Yes. We recover drones stuck at height with our cherry pickers, and we use our own drone to help find pets in awkward places.
