About Scaffolders
A scaffolder erects and dismantles temporary scaffolding to provide safe working platforms for other trades - roofers, painters, roughcasters, and anyone else working at height.
Scaffolding is usually hired for a set period and must be erected by a qualified team to meet current health and safety regulations.
Confirm the hire period, weekly rental cost, and whether the quote includes delivery, erection, dismantling, and collection - overrun charges can add up quickly if a job takes longer than expected.
About Symbister
Symbister is the main settlement on the island of Whalsay, one of Shetland’s most prosperous and tightly-knit island communities, lying off the east coast of Mainland.
Whalsay has a population of around 1,000 people and is one of the most important fishing communities in Scotland — the island’s pelagic fleet lands catches worth tens of millions of pounds annually, and the harbour at Symbister is busy year-round.
The village has a primary school, a secondary school, a leisure centre with a swimming pool, shops, and a community feel that is strong even by Shetland standards.
Symbister is connected to Mainland by a regular ferry service to Vidlin, and the island’s relatively flat terrain and compact size make it easy to get around.
About Shetland
Shetland is an archipelago of around 100 islands — 16 of them inhabited — lying roughly 110 miles north of the Scottish mainland and 210 miles west of Norway, making it the most northerly part of the United Kingdom.
Lerwick is the capital and only town of any size, a compact and characterful harbour settlement that serves as the administrative, commercial, and cultural centre of the islands. Around 7,000 of Shetland’s 23,000 residents live in and around the town.
Shetland’s economy has been shaped by the sea for centuries: fishing remains a major industry, and the arrival of North Sea oil at the Sullom Voe terminal in the 1970s brought prosperity that was carefully managed through a charitable trust that continues to fund services and infrastructure across the islands.
The landscape is treeless, wind-scoured, and dramatic — sea cliffs, voes (narrow inlets), tombolo beaches, and open moorland define the character of the islands, and nowhere in Shetland is more than three miles from the sea.
Shetland has a distinct cultural identity that draws on both Scottish and Norse heritage — the annual Up Helly Aa fire festival, the Shetland dialect, and the fiddle music tradition are central to island life, and the sense of community across the islands is strong and self-reliant.
