Scaffolding: reach the trades who book access

Almost nothing above head height starts without scaffold, so you are one of the first calls on a roof, a render or a loft conversion, and usually the one holding up the start date. Pinnacle puts you in front of the vetted tradespeople booking that work.

List your scaffolding business

Listing is by application. We check who you are before anything goes live, and we talk you through what a listing costs before you commit to it.

Why Pinnacle exists

Cowboy builders have cost homeowners their savings and good tradespeople their reputation. Most platforms check the company rather than the person behind it, so the ones who turn up and do the work properly get tarred with the same brush.

Pinnacle vets the individual. Our founder, Graham Nash, has spent 25 years helping families rebuild after they were let down, more than 500 of them, sometimes out of his own pocket. That standard is why tradespeople join, and it is why the businesses listed beside them are checked too.

For you that matters in a practical way: every trade reading your listing has been vetted before they got here, on ID, insurance, qualifications and references, and homeowners running projects on Pinnacle see it too. It is a smaller audience than a directory you can buy your way into, and a considerably better qualified one.

Graham's story

Who you would reach

  • Roofers and pointing specialists, who cannot begin until the access is up and are often asked to arrange it themselves.
  • Renderers and external wall insulation firms needing a full elevation for weeks rather than days.
  • Loft conversion and extension specialists, who are frequently asked to arrange scaffold as a separate cost and want a yard they can rely on.

How a listing works

Being listed is being findable, not being sold for. Nobody is sent your details without asking for them.

  1. Apply

    Tell us what you supply, where you are and how far you deliver or travel. It takes a few minutes.

  2. We check you

    Your company registration, your trading history and anything you have told us you hold. A person does this, and rings you to go through it: anything you hold that the form has no box for, a licence, a registration, a scheme membership, is told to us on that call. We come back to you either way.

  3. Your listing goes live

    You appear in the directory under the categories you cover, to anyone searching near you.

  4. They ask for your details

    A vetted tradesperson, or a homeowner running a project here, reads your listing and asks for your contact details. That is the point at which you hear from them.

  5. You take it from there

    The conversation is yours. We do not quote for you, take the order, or add anything to what you charge.

What we check

Your company registration and trading history, your public liability cover, and any accreditations you hold. Access work carries more risk than most categories here, so anything you tell us about scheme membership is checked rather than assumed.

Being checked is the point of the directory. A trade choosing a supplier here knows somebody looked, which is not something they can assume anywhere else, and it is why we would rather list fewer businesses properly than many on trust.

What is coming

We record how many times somebody asked for a listed business's details, because that is the figure that means something rather than how many times a page happened to show you.

We are building a view for suppliers that will show you your own. It is not live yet, and we will tell you when it is rather than counting it as a reason to join today.

Homeowners running projects can search the directory too.

Questions trade suppliers ask

Is this the same as being a Pinnacle tradesperson?

No, and it is worth being clear about. Vetted tradespeople are matched to homeowner projects. Trade suppliers are listed in a directory vetted tradespeople search. If you also work as a tradesperson in your own right, that is a separate application.

Who actually contacts me?

Usually the trade running the job, because they are the one who needs the access booked and the one whose start date depends on it. Sometimes the homeowner, where they are running the project themselves.

Do you guarantee I will get work?

No. Nobody honest would. You are listed where the people booking access are already looking, and the enquiries you get are yours to win or lose.

How far do you show my listing?

By distance from whoever is searching, so you are seen first by the people nearest you. Tell us how far you travel: searches within that radius are ordered by distance, and the directory shows the closest results first.

Applying starts the checks. It is not an instant yes, we tell you where you stand either way, and nothing goes live until you have agreed to it.
