At SBC Scaffolding Limited, we provide scaffold staircases and ramps for construction, refurbishment and maintenance projects in Bolton and across Greater Manchester.
Our access solutions provide safe and practical routes for workers and materials around construction sites.
Scaffold Staircases for Safe Access Between Levels
Scaffold staircases provide a secure alternative to ladders, making it easier for workers to move between different levels of a scaffold structure. At SBC Scaffolding Limited, we supply and install scaffold staircases to suit each project's requirements and site layout.
Scaffold staircases suit a range of applications, including new builds, extensions, roofing work and commercial construction projects. They are usually built into our access scaffolding so the whole structure works as one.
Scaffold Ramps
Scaffold ramps provide practical access across level changes and around construction sites. At SBC Scaffolding Limited, we install ramps as part of suitable scaffolding and access systems, making movement around the site easier and more efficient.
We design scaffold staircases and ramps around the requirements of each project. Larger or non-standard stair towers can be covered by our scaffold design service.
Why Use Stairs Instead of Ladders?
The HSE guidance on working at height says ladders should only be used for short, low-risk tasks. On busy sites, or where people carry tools and materials between lifts, scaffold staircases are safer and quicker. They also help you meet the Work at Height Regulations 2005.

Scaffold Staircases FAQs
Ladders are only suitable for short, low-risk work. Scaffold staircases give a safer, faster route between levels, especially when people are carrying tools and materials or using the scaffold all day.
Scaffold stairs are often used to provide a temporary escape route while permanent stairs are unavailable. The route needs to be agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety on the site, and we build the staircase to suit that plan.
Yes. Scaffold ramps can give pedestrians and wheeled barrows a safe route across level changes. The gradient, width and handrails are planned around how the ramp will be used.
Standard stair towers often do not, but larger, taller or non-standard staircases and ramps may need a bespoke scaffold design. We can arrange this as part of our scaffold design service.
