Scaffold Stair Towers & Access Towers.
Getting to the working platform is part of the brief. We arrange scaffold stair and access towers around the levels that need to be reached, available space and the way your contractors will use the structure.
The working brief
A route between the working levels.
A stair tower is a temporary scaffold-supported staircase. An access tower provides a route to a particular area, with the access method established for the project. They can form part of a larger scaffold or a more focused access arrangement.
Repeated movement
Where contractors need to move between several levels throughout the job, discuss a dedicated stair route and the space available for it.
Roof & façade access
Reach the platform used for roof repairs, windows, painting or exterior maintenance, with the entry and exit points included in the assessment.
Multi-trade programmes
Identify which trades need access and when. The number of users, tools and working levels helps define the enquiry.
Restricted working areas
Narrow passages, lower roofs and small courtyards may limit the available footprint. A site-specific assessment establishes what is practicable.
Before an arrangement is agreed
Height is only one part of the route.
Discuss your access requirementsEntry, exit & landings
Show where contractors start and where they need to arrive. Include each working level rather than just the overall building height.
Space around the tower
Describe ground conditions, entrances, boundaries and nearby structures. A photograph from ground level helps show the available space.
Intended use
Tell us about repeated journeys, users and the tools or materials involved. Do not assume a route is suitable for public access or all material handling.
From the genuine Sky High portfolio
A staircase built into the access arrangement.
The Marton-cum-Grafton project records staircase access between working levels. The Bishop Monkton example shows a different, restricted-access problem.
Bishop Monkton, North Yorkshire
Restricted-Access Scaffolding in Bishop Monkton.
A compact scaffold in a narrow passage reached the upper side wall and roofline. This is related restricted-access work, rather than a standalone stair-tower example.

Scaffold Stair Towers & Access Towers FAQs
A few things
worth asking.
Is a stair tower the same as an access tower?
A stair tower specifically incorporates a staircase. Access tower is a broader description; the route to the working area and the access method need to be agreed for the project.
Can stairs be included in a larger scaffold?
Yes, this is recorded in the Marton-cum-Grafton project. The working levels, available footprint and intended use need assessment for your property.
Is this a mobile tower or scissor-lift hire service?
This page concerns scaffold stair and access arrangements. Do not assume mobile tower or powered-access equipment hire is included; describe the access problem to Sky High.
Can we use the tower as a public or emergency route?
Tell us about that requirement before quotation. It must be assessed explicitly; an ordinary contractor-access arrangement should not be assumed to serve a public or emergency route.
