About Us

Midland Scaffolding Services or M.S.S. as we are better known, was founded in 1982 with the aim of bridging the gap between the large nationals, and the small locally run companies.

Our aim is to offer a package of work on the larger contracts that provides the client with the big company product, but with management that makes the job more personal.

Who we are

Operating from our central base in Northamptonshire, Midland Scaffolding Services can cover a large operating area from Central London up to the Midlands and to include East Anglia and west midlands, check our contact us page to show full geographical coverage. Midland Scaffolding Services owns all its own equipment with investment from profits put back, to ensure one of the best holdings of quality and fully serviced equipment in the industry. Midland Scaffolding Services operates with a 100% CISRS qualified employed workforce, all fully trained and managed within our own training agenda. We believe that the quality of our business is based not just on the ability to pro-actively manage, but to have a labour force that wants to be part of that same mission.

The big things are of course important but its often the little things that cause failure.

What our customers say

We pride ourselves in great customer service. See what our customers are saying.

Although this is my first project using MSS, it won’t be the last. They saved my project from being a disaster after being let down by another contractor. MSS responded in my hour of need and resolved the scaffold issue I faced that would have had a significant impact on the project. Any design issues have been resolved and good communication established throughout. The operatives on site have been professional and the standard of work exactly what you want. Some of the best monaflex work I have seen on a project that suits the demolition works.

MSS delivered a high level of service throughout the project. Their commitment to working alongside fellow trades to ensure the programme was achieved and maintained throughout the build process contributed to a successful scheme. The site teams were always helpful and would go above and beyond to help where possible, whilst keeping a key eye on health and safety
Alex Reynolds

I always like to thank the subcontractor team for their efforts on the project. On this occasion I do think you have gone above and beyond, not something I would say to many on the site. This account has been much larger than most scaffold accounts I have witnessed, and it could have quite easily become difficult to control. But with the use of worksheets which have existed in almost 100% of any extra works and the well laid out account (scaffold accounts are often poorly managed) it has helped for a smooth and well managed account.

From a construction perspective MSS are proactive and efficient, they provide technical advice and a great service. MSS are in some instances not as competitive as their competitors however we rate your service as being excellent which fits in with BAM ethos of cooperation, service and finding solutions to erecting scaffold to complex buildings.

My observations are based on my dealings with Amie Bailey in the commercial agreements of MSS account during the project. I found that the quality and commercial integrity of the applications produced were fair and properly considered throughout and it has been refreshing to see this approach. Thankyou Amie and I hope to deal with you very soon in the future

“I have worked with MSS for several years on various projects and have found them to be a very conscientious company. Easy to deal with, professional in every way. On site they are tidy, orderly, and their attention to detail and problem solving has proved invaluable on certain projects we have done together. MSS go out of their way to help even when we have the unenviable task of contacting them late on in the afternoon asking them to help when it is an urgent request for the next day. Nothing ever seems to be a problem, they always find a way to assist and get the work done in a professional manner. Their staff are friendly, well trained, knowledgeable and hard working. As a company MSS are well respected in the industry and I would certainly recommend them on any project large or small. I enjoy working with them and hope to work with them on the next project soon.

Our experience of scaffolding contractors has been inconsistent to say the least. Prior to forming a relationship with MSS I thought finding a consistent, reliable & quality contractor that has the same vision and values as our own was a tall order, if not unachievable. MSS have proven that to be wrong. The team at MSS are professional yet have a family ethos, which comes through in all of our engagements. Any request or challenge we’ve had, MSS have gone on to deliver to the same standard and in the same manner we aim for with our own clients, this is something we strive for in all of our supply chain partners.
