Scaffold firm supports historic Glasgow church restoration

One of Scotland’s leading scaffolding providers is playing a central role in the restoration of a historic church in Glasgow’s West End.

JR Scaffold Services has been tasked with providing specialist access solutions at St Peter’s Church in Partick, a B-listed building currently undergoing a significant renovation.

Around 3,000 square metres of Cuplok scaffolding have been erected around the site in phases, enabling roof, stonework and window repairs over the 20 to 40-week project.

The work is being carried out on behalf of John Fulton Plumbing & Roofing, who secured the renovation contract from property consultants Brown & Wallace.

Due to the complex structure and sensitive location of the church, JR Scaffold worked closely with third-party scaffold engineers to develop a detailed access plan before installation.

The external works were complemented by over 20 aluminium towers inside the church, designed to give safe access to internal ceiling and window areas.

With the building remaining an active place of worship, the internal scaffolds are dismantled each weekend and reassembled on Mondays by JR Scaffold’s light access team, allowing services to continue uninterrupted.

Alistair McKay, Contracts Manager at JR Scaffold Services, said:

“This has been a fantastic project to have been involved in from the start. Everything from the detailed design process to the logistical challenges of working in an active church has made it incredibly rewarding.

“We’re proud to be supporting the restoration of such an important community landmark.”

The project is part of wider efforts to preserve and modernise key historic sites in Glasgow, ensuring they continue to serve local communities for generations to come.
