Emergency Domestic Scaffolding Installation – Woburn

Two Hammers Scaffolding were contacted by a domestic client following an urgent health and safety issue at a residential property. Falling roofing materials posed an immediate risk to both occupants and the surrounding area, requiring a rapid response to secure the site without delay.

The client reported that roof slates and leadwork had become loose and were falling from height into the garden and nearby areas. This created a serious and immediate health and safety hazard.

At the time, Two Hammers had scaffolding teams and equipment committed to other live projects. The challenge was to respond quickly to the emergency while carefully managing resources to ensure safety standards were maintained across all sites.

Our team acted immediately by safely pausing other works at suitable stages and reallocating scaffolding resources to attend the property as a priority.

A full wraparound scaffold was erected around the entire building, complete with brick guards and additional safety measures. This ensured that any falling materials would be safely contained, preventing debris from reaching ground level and protecting both residents and members of the public.

Since the scaffold was installed, multiple slates and sections of lead have fallen from the roof and have been safely caught by the scaffolding structure.

The installation significantly reduced the risk of injury or damage and allowed the property to remain safe while the client considers and arranges further roofing works. The project highlights Two Hammers’ ability to deliver fast, effective emergency solutions while maintaining strict safety standards.
