JR Scaffold Services Completes Major Cladding Project in Arbroath Town Centre

JR Scaffold Services, a division of The JR Group and one of Scotland’s largest scaffolding providers has successfully completed a significant town centre roofing project at The Corn Exchange, a JD Wetherspoons pub and restaurant in Arbroath.

The project was undertaken on behalf of Castlecourt Construction.

The Paisley-based scaffolding company worked on the landmark building in Market Place, marking its second collaboration with JD Wetherspoons and Castlecourt Construction. JR Scaffold Services was responsible for installing a full perimeter access scaffold, facilitating the complete overcladding of the building’s outdated asbestos roof.

Throughout the four-week installation project, a dedicated three-person team from JR Scaffold Services erected approximately 1,300 square meters of external scaffolding.

Additionally, around 480 cubic meters of scaffolding was utilised within the internal roof space to create a large bird cage scaffold, allowing for necessary internal structural roofing work.

The project’s complex location required the implementation of a narrow width scaffold built off a steel staircase at the rear of the building, as flat ground was unavailable. This intricate task was followed by an engineered beam section, which was bracketed off the structural wall of the building to bridge over neighbouring roofs.

JR Scaffold Services was chosen for this specialised project due to their status as one of the few asbestos ancillary license holders in Scotland. The company’s 15 years of expertise and training in safely handling asbestos materials played a crucial role in their selection.

John Jack, Contract Director at JR Scaffold Services, expressed his satisfaction with the project’s outcome: “We handed this project to our colleague Brian Keaney as his very first job as a Contract Manager, and we’re delighted with the job that he and his team have delivered. Even with some of the complexities involved, Brian and his team have taken his first project in stride and helped us continue to build our great relationship with the team at Castlecourt Construction.

This job had unique complexities due to the tight workspace and asbestos exposure; however, our team is well equipped to handle such challenges with ease, and our experience in these areas served us well here.”
