Residential properties are a continual maintenance project.  If you are a landlord in London, then you are probably aware of the continual maintenance work that is needed to keep the property in a safe and rentable condition.  If you own your own house in London, then you have probably had a variety of different jobs to do to maintain the quality of the property and prevent it from deteriorating.

One of the best ways to keep the costs down for maintenance work is to do it yourself.  Of course, this depends on the job that you are doing.  There will always be some jobs for which it is simply a good idea to get a professional to take care of the task, and of course, some areas of work require a qualified tradesman – gas work, for example, or electrical work.  But there are other types of job that homeowners can do for themselves.  Sometimes this is because the job simply needs time and patience, rather than trade skills.  Clearing the guttering from dead leaves is one such example, or cleaning skylights with a long brush.  Other jobs require some technical skills, but ones that many homeowners already have, especially if the homeowner has any sort of trade or construction experience.

However, it is important to not cut corners where safety is concerned.  At MTEC Scaffolding, we can provide the residential scaffolding rental that you need for a safe and effective maintenance job.  We offer high quality, competitively priced rentals scaffolding for all sizes of job, including internal scaffolding for decorating and reconstruction projects.

Of course, you might have been thinking about using a ladder, but this could be false economy.  Many jobs are better with a scaffolding system, for three main reasons.

The first, and most important reason, is safety.  Ladders account for a large proportion of accidents that occur during DIY work, mainly when people fall from the ladder.  Another common type of accident involves dropping items from height or slipping whilst using tools like blades; both are more likely when a person is balancing at the top of a ladder.  By choosing residential scaffolding, London customers can reduce the risk of accidents, keeping themselves and their family safe.

However, not all the benefits are purely safety based.  One option is that using rented residential scaffolding systems could actually save you money!  After all, many jobs can be completed more quickly with one scaffolding system that allows you to access the whole job.  Working on a ladder, which constantly needs to be moved and repositioned, can be tiring and time consuming.  This means more time off work to complete the work, which costs money in the long run.

The other reason to use the residential scaffolding London homeowners need is that you can do a better job.  Trying to work at arm’s length from a ladder is not only dangerous, it also leads to a poor finish.  Use our residential scaffolding for a better finish on your London property.
