Overview
Cambridge is a conservation area with a world-famous university in the middle of it. College buildings, chapels and listed stone are under repair somewhere in the city every month of the year, and the work is slow, visible and unforgiving about appearance.
Around it sits one of the densest research and technology clusters in Europe — the Science Park, the Biomedical Campus and the labs between them, where dust and containment matter more than weather.
Local focus
Scaffolding leads, and heritage specifically. Full encapsulation and temporary roofs on college, chapel and listed building programmes, where stonework has to stay dry for months and the envelope is in public view the whole time. Alongside it, sealed containment for lab, clean area and plant works across the Science Park and the Biomedical Campus, where dust control is the requirement rather than rain.

Getting to you
Cambridge is reached on the same run as Peterborough and the Essex work. Travel is shown as its own line on the quote.
We cover CB1 to CB5 and the surrounding area from our Isle of Wight base, working across the college and university buildings, the city centre conservation area, the Cambridge Science Park and Milton, the Biomedical Campus and the Cam at Jesus Green and Chesterton. Travel is set out separately on every quote, so you can see exactly what the trip costs rather than finding it buried in a rate.
Before we quote
Every Cambridge job starts with a survey — on site, or from your photos if that is quicker. We measure it, work out the frame, the film area, the seams and the fixings, and the number you get back is the number you pay.
Cambridge · CB1 to CB5
Illustrative figures. Your Cambridge survey is carried out on site — or from photos, if you'd rather start there.
Pricing
Priced on the square metres of film that end up on the frame, which follows the profile rather than the footprint.
The frame is often more of the job than the film. Complex shapes and awkward access both add crew time.
Flame-retardant and heavier gauges cost more per square metre. We specify for the job rather than defaulting.
Set out as its own line so you can see it. Where we can batch Cambridge work into an existing run, it comes down.
We do not publish a Cambridge rate, because a rate quoted before anyone has seen the job is a guess that gets corrected on your invoice. What you get instead is a fixed price after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. Most Cambridge enquiries are answered the same working day, and photographs are usually enough to get a realistic figure moving.
Start from your phone
Not every Cambridge job needs a site visit to get moving. Send a couple of photos and rough dimensions and one of our installers will tell you what is involved — including when shrink wrap is not the right call.
Whole item in frame, plus one close-up of the access side.
WhatsApp or email, with the Cambridge postcode and the date you need it by.
Approach, timescale and a price — usually the same working day.
Common questions
Yes. Cambridge is part of our regular coverage and scaffold wrapping is the work we do most of there. Cambridge is reached on the same run as Peterborough and the Essex work. Travel is shown as its own line on the quote.
There is no Cambridge rate, because the price follows the job rather than the postcode. Size, framing, film grade and access drive it, and travel is set out separately so you can see exactly what you are paying. Send photos and rough dimensions and we will give you a realistic figure the same working day.
Yes. A sealed shrink wrap partition separates the work area from the operating side of a building for dust, debris and noise — which is the usual requirement on lab, hospital and campus work where the rest of the building keeps running.
Yes. Every quote is fixed after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. We do not use provisional sums and we do not add a "subject to access" line.
All five sectors — marine, scaffolding and temporary roofs, industrial, transportation and aviation. Scaffold shrink wrap is what we are asked for most in Cambridge, but the same crews cover the rest.
Yes. We are fully insured and risk assessments and method statements are supplied as standard on every commercial job, along with film certification at handover.
