What East Grinstead Scaffolding Services Ltd does

East Grinstead Scaffolding Services Ltd is a privately-held UK scaffolding contractor founded in 1993 by Mark Daniels and headquartered in Rowfant, West Sussex. The company designs, erects, maintains and dismantles scaffolding structures for commercial, industrial and domestic clients across Sussex, Surrey, Kent and South London, with a stated mix of approximately 70% commercial and 30% domestic work. Named commercial customers span retail (ASDA multi-site, Fat Face, Uplands Retail), property development (IQ Projects, Barclay Developments UK), property management (Estate & Property Management Ltd), heritage (Bayham Abbey) and education (Christ Hospital School).

The company's core offering covers the full scaffolding lifecycle — site survey, bespoke design, professional installation, 7-day routine inspections and dismantling — delivered exclusively through directly employed scaffolders rather than subcontractors. Service types include supported, birdcage, bracketed, hanging/suspended scaffolding, temporary roofs and shoring, with capability to handle heritage, seafront-exposed and other complex sites. Operatives are CITB-trained, CRB-checked and CISRS-registered, and the company holds CHAS accreditation, which together serve as procurement-gate credentials for commercial and public-sector tenders.

Revenue is generated entirely through bespoke project quotations with 28-day payment terms and no publicly listed pricing; the business does not publish revenue. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct phone and website enquiry, supported by an extensive network of area-specific SEO landing pages and a testimonials/portfolio content presence. The company has not raised external funding, has no parent or subsidiaries, and operates from a single headquarters unit in Rowfant with approximately five total staff.
