Scope

Inner City Scaffolding was appointed to deliver complex access and temporary works at the 220-year-old Grade II listed Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, part of the Royal Pavilion Estate. The project supported essential roof restoration and energy efficiency upgrades, all while maintaining full public access to the Museum and Pavilion throughout the works.

Over 400 hours of design development led to ‘A’ Status approval. Bespoke internal and external scaffold solutions were engineered to overcome significant constraints, including tree protection zones, poor ground load capacity, and strict conservation requirements. 

All works were delivered in full compliance with heritage standards, using sustainable and re-used materials, and executed by a highly skilled, locally sourced team.

Key Deliverables

  • Temporary Roofing & Protection: Complex engineered roof system and weatherproofing to safeguard restoration works
  • Access Remediation Package: Large-scale scaffold installation tailored to conservation and logistical constraints
  • Design & Compliance: 400+ hours of design work; and ‘A’ Status approval; sustainable materials and heritage alignment

Outcome

This project showcases Inner City Scaffolding’s expertise in heritage-sensitive access solutions. Through meticulous design, sustainable practices, and collaborative delivery, the team enabled critical restoration works within a live public environment – completed over a 10-month programme with zero disruption to museum operations.
