Rooted in the Community. Built for the Future. SAS Scaffolding is creating local opportunities through apprenticeships, veteran support, and partnerships with schools and colleges.

Empowering Local Talent Across Berkshire, Hampshire & Reading

At SA Scaffolding, we believe scaffolding is more than a trade — it’s a chance to build a future. We’re tackling the construction labour shortage head-on by investing in young apprentices and supporting ex-Army personnel transitioning to civilian careers. This also contributes to the long term growth and succession planning for the business over the next 10-15 years.

Based in Reading, and serving Berkshire and Hampshire, our goal is to create opportunity and give back to the communities we work in.
