On the route
North Hampshire runs on from the Surrey route, so new sites there usually go in within days. Hampshire sites usually share a visit with Farnham and Camberley on the Surrey side of the border.
Why Hampshire contractors use an independent inspector
Scaffolding firms stretched for supervisors and advanced scaffolders are increasingly outsourcing inspections rather than pulling a skilled operative off the tools every week. An independent inspector on a fixed round does the inspection, writes the Schedule 7 report and sends the summary email, and the firm's advanced scaffolders stay on the job they are paid for. The principal contractor gets an independent record, which is what more of them now ask for.
"Your best scaffolder should be building scaffolds, not writing up last week's."
What you get
- A Schedule 7 compliant report with captioned photos, a clear verdict and defects carried forward, within 24 hours
- A short summary email of the actions that matter
- One named inspector on every visit
