Earlier this year, Drake Scaffolding proudly achieved re-certification as an NASC-accredited contractor, maintaining our place as a trusted and safety-conscious scaffolding company. This prestigious accreditation isn’t a one-off award — it requires ongoing compliance, regular auditing, and a continued commitment to best practices.
For us, being part of the National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) isn’t just a badge — it’s a reflection of our dedication to quality, safety, and professionalism in everything we do.
What is NASC?
Founded in 1945, the NASC is the UK’s leading trade body for scaffolding and access work, representing over 300 contracting firms and suppliers nationwide. Its members are recognised for setting the standard in scaffolding safety, training, and working practices — and are often the first choice for major construction firms looking for proven, compliant contractors.
Being NASC-accredited means more than just ticking a box. It signals that a company is operating at the highest level — meeting exacting standards that go above and beyond legal requirements.
How Does NASC Accreditation Work?
To gain and maintain NASC accreditation, scaffolding companies must undergo stringent audits by NASC-approved auditors. These assessments cover a wide range of business operations, including:
-
Health and safety compliance
-
Risk assessment and method statement procedures
-
Staff training and competence levels
-
Equipment maintenance and usage
-
Insurance and regulatory compliance
-
Adherence to NASC Codes of Practice and Conduct
Achieving re-certification earlier this year means we’ve demonstrated that every aspect of our business continues to meet the NASC’s benchmark standards — something we are hugely proud of.
Why Is This Important?
For our clients — from homeowners and small businesses to developers and contractors — this accreditation means:
✅ Reassurance that you’re working with a qualified, compliant, and professionally run scaffolding business
✅ Confidence that our team is fully trained, experienced, and committed to safety
✅ Peace of mind knowing we follow industry-leading best practices every step of the way
✅ Trust that your project will be delivered with care, quality, and integrity
Our NASC accreditation also sets us apart from non-accredited providers — giving you an added layer of protection and professionalism that’s recognised across the construction industry.
Our Commitment to Quality
We see our NASC membership as a reflection of the values we hold at Drake Scaffolding — attention to detail, accountability, and a no-compromise approach to safety.
This re-certification is thanks to the consistent efforts of our brilliant team, who bring their skills and dedication to every project, no matter the size or complexity.
We’re proud to be part of a trusted network that continues to raise standards in our industry — and proud to deliver those standards to every client we work with.
