Lenehan Scaffolding

What Lenehan Scaffolding does

Lenehan Scaffolding (Preston) Limited is a privately held UK scaffolding contractor founded in 1970 and headquartered at Red Scar Industrial Estate in Preston, Lancashire. The company provides scaffolding hire, design, installation, inspection, and removal services to domestic, commercial, and industrial customers within a 40-mile radius of its Preston base. Its core service offering is divided into domestic scaffolding (chimney scaffolds, scaffold towers, shoring systems for excavation, temporary roofs, and edge protection for homeowners) and commercial scaffolding (bespoke design for churches, schools, hospitals, leisure facilities, shopping centres, town halls, and industrial sites including demolition projects).

The firm operates an asset-heavy delivery model centered on a directly employed workforce of more than 30 qualified scaffolders supported by 5 yard-based operations staff and 5 administration/supervisor staff, plus an owned fleet of 8 heavy goods vehicles and 4 Combi vans maintained under VOSA and DVLA compliance. Specialist scaffolding design is sourced through a partnership with Buckley Scaffold Design Services, while health and safety and environmental compliance are supported by Simian Risk. Lenehan holds NASC, Constructionline, and CHAS accreditations — the standard pre-qualifications required to tender on UK construction and public-sector scaffolding contracts — and assigns dedicated supervisors to every contract with daily inspections and a scaff-tagging system.

Revenue is generated on a project-by-project, quote-based pricing model with free estimates offered to customers. Acquisition is driven by direct sales, phone and email contact, referrals, and a basic SEO-oriented website. The named customer base spans enterprise clients such as BAE Systems and Places For People alongside multiple regional housebuilders, demolition contractors, and individual homeowners, with no disclosed recurring revenue or contract retention figures.
