    Deal Sizes & Multiples

    What scaffolding businesses actually trade for

    Scaffolding valuations are influenced by stock value, contract base quality, accreditation and any specialism in higher-margin industrial or temporary-roof work.

    Mandates we surface generally sit between £500K and £50M in enterprise value, with most opportunities concentrated in the £1M–£20M range.

    Diligence

    The diligence themes most likely to move price, deal structure or completion certainty.

    Stock count and condition

    Physical stock-take of scaffold tube, fittings and boards is essential — pricing assumes recoverable asset value.

    NASC / CISRS accreditation

    Verify operative training records and accreditation continuity.

    Contract WIP and adjudication

    Assess WIP balances, retention recoverability and any open adjudications.

    Insurance claims history

    Scaffolding carries elevated liability risk — review claims and premium trajectory.
