Specialist Internal Scaffold at St Mary’s Church

At Liddiard Scaffolding, we’re proud to have recently completed a specialist internal birdcage scaffold inside the beautiful St Mary’s Church in Portsmouth, supporting the careful replacement of the church organ pipes.

Working within historic and sensitive buildings requires experience, precision, and total respect for the environment, and this project was no exception.

Supporting Essential Restoration Work

The scaffold was designed to provide a safe, stable working platform for specialist contractors carrying out organ pipe replacement at height.

Our installation included:

• Internal birdcage scaffold system

• Integrated lifting beam

• Hoist system for controlled material handling

• Full protection measures to safeguard historic features

The addition of a lifting beam and hoist allowed materials and equipment to be raised and lowered safely and efficiently, minimising manual handling risks and ensuring the church interior remained protected throughout the works.

Careful Planning for a Historic Environment

Heritage buildings demand more than standard scaffolding solutions. Every element of this project was carefully planned to:

• Protect delicate architectural features

• Prevent damage to floors and fixtures

• Maintain structural integrity

• Minimise disruption to church activities

• Ensure full compliance with health and safety regulations

Our experienced team carried out the installation with precision, ensuring the scaffold was secure, non-invasive, and fully suited to the unique layout of the building.
