🏛️ BUILT IN 1890. ABOUT TO START ITS MOST IMPORTANT CHAPTER YET.

Our scaffolding is up at Weelsby Hall in Grimsby, and this one is a privilege to be part of. 🏗️

The Hall is a Grade II listed Victorian villa, built in 1890 for George Frederick Sleight, one of the great names of Grimsby’s fishing industry. 🐟

With the scaffold up, the real work can get going. Chimneys and stonework. Roof slates carefully stripped, with around 70% of them being kept and reused rather than skipped. Every single sash window freed from its frame and repaired rather than replaced. First floor partition walls taken out to open the Hall back up to its original layout. 🔨

That is restoration done properly, and none of it happens without safe access to every inch of the building. 📐

But here is the part that makes this one different. 👇

Weelsby Hall is being brought back to life by Linkage Community Trust, a charity supporting people with learning disabilities and autism. 🧡

When it is finished, the Hall becomes a training hub for the people they support, with a sensory integration room, a platform lift and full accessibility throughout. The Stables are being turned into residential units. The grand staircases, the plasterwork and the original fireplaces are all being restored around it.

Backed by £3.5m from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, with support from the UK Government, North East Lincolnshire Council, The Pilgrim Trust and the Historic Houses Foundation. 🎗️

So a house built for one of the wealthiest men in Grimsby is about to spend the next hundred years helping people learn, work and live independently. 💛

We just put the scaffold up. But some jobs you are genuinely glad to have your name on, and this is one of them. 🧡

🚐 THERE IS NOTHING ON THIS EARTH LIKE A BRAND NEW VAN.

Designs Signage Solutions Ltd are currently wrapping our new vans, and we are genuinely counting down the days. 🧡

There is a strange thing that happens in this trade. You can hand somebody a complex design job on a listed building and they will take it completely in their stride. Tell them there is a brand new wrapped van with their name on it and they turn into a seven year old on Christmas Eve. 😂

We are already taking bets on how long the first one stays clean. The optimists are saying a fortnight. The realists are saying it will have a footwell full of brew cups and half a box of fittings rolling around the back before it reaches the end of the street.

Elevation Yorkshire is growing, the workload is growing with it, and the fleet has had to grow to keep up. More vans means more crews out and more jobs covered properly rather than squeezed.

Early next month our new wagons go in for wrapping as well.

Once they are all done we will get the lot lined up together for a photo, which we are looking forward to more than we are prepared to admit in writing.

Big thanks to the team at Designs Signage Solutions for the work. 💛

THIS SITE HAS BEEN GENERATING THE WORLD’S ELECTRICITY SINCE 1889.

We have completed the scaffolding at Siemens Energy in Newcastle, as part of the refurbishment of O Bay. 🏗️

The scaffold enables asbestos removal recladding of the exterior. Two jobs where access has to be right first time, because neither of them is forgiving.

Now, the bit that got us. 👇

This is the old C. A. Parsons works, founded in 1889 by Sir Charles Parsons, the man who invented the steam turbine. The following year, Forth Banks Power Station opened using Parsons equipment and became the first power station in the world to generate electricity using turbo generators. ⚙️

In 1956 this site built the steam turbine for Calder Hall in Cumbria, the world’s first commercial nuclear power station.

Last year Siemens Energy was selected as global turbine supplier for Rolls-Royce’s small modular reactors, which means this plant will build SMR steam turbines for the station planned on Anglesey. Reportedly the first time those components will be produced for an SMR anywhere in Europe.

So the building we have scaffolded has been generating the world’s electricity for 137 years, and is about to start doing it all over again.

Not a bad week’s work. Hull based, working wherever the job is. 💛

🏊 20 MILES OF TUBE. 15 MILES OF BOARDING. ONE LEISURE CENTRE.

We have completed the scaffolding at Ennerdale Leisure Centre in Hull, inside and out. 🏗️

Those numbers are not a typo. Laid end to end, the tube on this job would get you from Hull to Beverley and back again with change. The boarding would take you most of the way to Hornsea. All of it went into one building. 🤯

Outside: independent scaffold to the full envelope, standing on its own rather than relying on the building.

Inside: birdcages. If you have never seen one, a birdcage is a full working deck built across an entire floor area so trades can work on the ceiling safely, at height, everywhere at once. It is the reason a pool hall ceiling can be worked on properly instead of in awkward patches off a tower. 📐

Birdcages eat tube. Now you know where 20 miles of it went. 😅

What it is all for 👇

Ennerdale has been closed since May 2025 while serious work gets done. The pool hall glazing is being replaced with highly efficient units, backed by £750,000 from Sport England’s Swimming Pool Support Fund, alongside new pool covers, roof maintenance, door replacement and repairs to the small pool.

A further major refurbishment is also in the works, including full replacement of the pool pipework after sections were found in worse condition than expected, plus a complete replacement of the original glazing. 🔧

It means the centre stays shut longer, which is frustrating for everyone who uses it. But it also means that when Ennerdale reopens, it reopens properly, not patched up for another couple of years. 💛

This is a Hull building, used by Hull families, being put right by Hull trades. We are glad to have had a part in it. 🧡

🏫 Big one for us. We have won the scaffolding contract at the new Wetherby High School.

Properly proud of this one. 🧡

It is a £25m new build, 77,500 square feet across three storeys, designed for 900 pupils and 95 staff, with science labs, general teaching, IT, sports facilities and a canteen. 🏗️

Here is the detail we love though. 👇
The new school is going up on the playing fields first, so the pupils move into the new building before a single one of the old ones comes down. Nobody gets taught in a corridor for two years. That is a proper bit of planning and it makes the sequencing on site genuinely interesting. 📐

And the buildings coming down are not just tired classrooms. Some of them date back to the Second World War, when that site was a naval training base. 🎖️

Which means the ground we are scaffolding on has been training young people for about eighty years, one way or another. Not a bad thing to be a small part of.

The multi use games area is being kept and enlarged, the all weather pitch stays, and the outdoor sports facilities are designed to be used by the community outside school hours. 🥅

Keep an eye on here, because we will be sharing plenty from this one as it goes up. Follow along if you fancy watching a school appear from the ground. 📸

Another one outside East Yorkshire, another step for us. Hull based, working wherever the job is. 💛

👋 He trained with us, he left us, and now he is back. 🧡

Kai Ruiz has joined Elevation Yorkshire as a Contract Manager. 🎉

Some of you will already know the name, because Kai originally trained as a scaffolder right here with us. He went off to see a bit more of the industry, and he has now come home. 🚚

Kai comes back with his cards, his tickets and a proper grounding in exactly how we do things here, because we are the ones who taught him in the first place. 💪

One last thing, and he has given us permission to say it. 🇪🇸

Kai has Spanish roots. Kai also failed Spanish at school. It was, and we want to be clear about this, the only subject he failed. 😂

So he can design you a scaffold, run your programme and talk you through a pull test. He simply cannot order a coffee in Barcelona.

Welcome back Kai. The kettle is where you left it. ☕

🎤 NAME THIS BOY BAND. ANSWERS IN THE COMMENTS.

New uniform day at Elevation, and within about four minutes this happened. 😂

Nobody asked for it. There was no discussion. Somebody produced a camera and five of the lads from the yard instinctively lined up against the work bench like the back of a 2003 album sleeve.

Let us break down the lineup. 👇
Far left: leg out, hand on hip, full commitment. Has clearly done this before. 💁
Second in: hood up, hands clasped, going for mysterious. Undermined slightly by the grin. 🙂
Middle: hands on hips, legs apart, beaming. This man is the frontman and he knows it. 🎤
Fourth: the only one not laughing. Staring directly down the lens. Absolute professional. 😐
Far right: lunging, almost leaning on the bench, effortless. The cool one. 😎

Three bobble hats. One hood. Zero shame. 🧡

So go on then, name them. Best suggestion wins absolutely nothing except the knowledge that they named them, and we will be using it internally forever. 👇

We will start you off…. Tube Direction. 🎶

Smart kit, smart team, and the same standard on site whatever they happen to be wearing. 💛

🌊 IT IS UP, IT IS SIGNED OFF, AND THERE IS NOTHING UNDERNEATH IT.

Yes, the drone video is a bit dramatic for scaffolding. No, we are not sorry. 🎬

The scaffold at Riverside Gardens in Rotherham is complete and handed over. 🏗️

This one is a hanging scaffold. No standards to the ground, no legs in the river, nothing propping it up from below. The beamwork cantilevers out over the river wall and the whole lot is held down at the back by 850kg concrete blocks, tied into the concrete with M12 bolts. ⚖️

The blocks are acting as counterweights. It is essentially physics doing the job that legs usually do. 📐

Which is why the design matters on a job like this. Nothing here is holding itself up by accident. It gets calculated, it gets built to the drawing, it gets checked, and then somebody signs their name against it. ✅

Now it is handed over, the team behind us can get at the river wall and the tunnels. 🔧

And it is a cracking thing to be part of. 🌳

Riverside Gardens is turning what used to be a car park into a public park on the River Don, with a riverside walk, landscaped terraces, natural play for children, new seating and artwork along the river. There is a four metre drop between street level and the water, which is a large part of why this site is as awkward as it is. It forms the gateway to the Forge Island development on the opposite bank, and it is due to complete this winter. 🚶

Our favourite detail: the river wall itself is being built back with an otter holt, sand martin boxes and bat boxes designed into it. So the wall we have been hanging off is about to become somebody's house. 🦦

In a couple of years people will walk along there with a coffee having no idea any of this was ever here. Perfect. 😄

Design, build, inspect, adapt, take it down. Wherever the ground happens to be. Or is not. 💛

🩸 WE HAVE JUST PUT OUR ENTIRE TEAM THROUGH PRIVATE HEALTH TESTING.

Scaffolders are not famous for going to the doctor. 🙃

Early starts, long days, hard physical graft, and a trade where the standard approach to feeling a bit rough is to get on with it and see if it goes away by Friday. Most of our team have not had a proper health check in years. Some have never had one at all.

So we have done something about it. 🧡

We have started rolling out health testing across our team with The Livewell Syndicate, a Hull based private blood testing company working with employers across the UK. 🏥

That is our general manager Andy in the photo. Andy helps run Elevation Yorkshire. Andy is not remotely fazed by a tight programme, a February morning or a phone call at half six. Andy was absolutely fazed by a finger prick. 😂

The first round is already done and the rest of the team are booked in over the coming weeks, with fitness sessions running for everyone alongside it. 💪

Here is the bit we rate most. Livewell do not just hand you a sheet of numbers and leave you to Google it at midnight. Every set of results is reviewed by a clinician, everybody gets a one to one consultation to talk through what it actually means, and nobody gets a number without an explanation. 📋

We talk a lot in this industry about safety on site. Harnesses, inspections, toolbox talks, all of it, and rightly so. But somebody can be perfectly safe on a scaffold and still be walking round with something they do not know about. 🫀

Looking after our people should not stop at the site gate.

Proud of this one. 💛

Andy has since made a full recovery. 🙏

📏 100 METRES. THREE TIERS. TWO DAYS!

That isn't us bragging. That's a direct quote from a client, and the exclamation mark on the end was theirs, not ours. 😄

We've thought about it a lot since, because it's the nicest kind of compliment there is. Nobody said the scaffold looked lovely. Nobody said we were a great bunch of lads, although obviously we are. They said it was up, it was right, and it was quick. 💯

That's the whole job. Get access sorted so the trade behind you can crack on. 🏗️

These are the blokes who did it. Tube and fitting, system scaffold, temporary roofs, stair towers, inspections. Access, support and containment for jobs large and small. 🔧

Give us the programme and we'll tell you straight what's achievable. 📞
