Scope
Inner City Scaffolding was appointed to deliver complex access solutions for the multi-million-pound renovation of Skinners Hall – a Grade I Listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument protected under Historic England legislation. The project demanded exceptional sensitivity to heritage constraints, precision engineering, and a collaborative approach with conservation specialists.
Our work was recognised with the City of London’s Considerate Contractor Scheme (CCS) Scaffolding Gold Award 2023, reflecting our commitment to safety, professionalism, and minimal disruption in a highly sensitive environment.
Key Deliverables
- HAKI System Roofs: 1380m² plan of HAKI System 750 AL roofs installed to provide safe, weather-protected access
- Foundation & Support Scaffolds: Structures below the roof covered 8500m³ and weighed approximately 250 tonnes
- Timber Decking: 2000m² of timber decking constructed across 3700m of scaffolding lifts
- Scaffolding Materials: 28,000m of scaffolding tubes; 30,000 scaffolding couplers; and 1500m of aluminium beams
- Aerial Runway System: Installation of approx. 100m of Type 27.00 Niko Aerial Runway System, including high-end pneumatic switches to support the construction phase
Outcome
This project showcased Inner City Scaffolding’s ability to deliver high-specification access solutions in heritage environments, balancing structural complexity with conservation requirements. Our team’s expertise in planning, logistics, and execution ensured the safe and efficient delivery of all scaffold elements, enabling restoration works to proceed on schedule.
