Stair tower hire in London solves the problem an ordinary tower cannot: working safely above a staircase, a split level or ground that steps away beneath you. The legs adjust independently, so the frame stands square and the platform stays level over the rise.

Where a stair tower earns its place

Stairwell decorating, communal lighting, high-level cleaning in atriums and maintenance over uneven floors are the jobs these go out on. Trying to make a standard tower work over a stair rise with packing and improvisation is how people get hurt, and it is the first thing a site inspection picks up. A stair tower is the designed answer: adjustable legs, base plates sized for a tread, and a stabiliser arrangement built for the geometry.

Interior and exterior, both

Staircases are usually indoors, and stair towers are fully suited to interior use in occupied buildings — communal blocks, offices, hotels, schools. They also work outside on fire escapes and on large staircases with bends and junctions, where the run changes direction partway up. Platform heights reach 7.9m, which covers most stairwells in a residential block or a commercial building.

Getting it stable takes more care

Building a tower square over a rise is a different job from building one on a flat floor, and it is covered specifically by PASMA Towers on Stairs, which requires a valid Towers for Users qualification first. We run both from Croydon, so if your crew has one and not the other we can sort it before the hire starts.

Also known as a stairwell scaffold tower, staircase tower or stairway access tower.

Sizes & Weekly Rates

Platform Heights from 1.4m to 7.9m

Towers are hired by platform height — your working height is roughly 2.0m above the platform. Tell us the rise you need to cover and we will work out which configuration suits.

Stair tower — 0.72m

A narrow frame with independently adjustable legs and base plates sized for a stair tread, so the platform stands level over the rise rather than being packed into position.

FAQs

Common Questions

The legs adjust independently, so the two sides of the base can sit at different heights on different treads while the platform above stays level. Base plates and stabilisers are sized for the geometry rather than improvised.

Yes. Stair towers work outside as well as in, including on fire escapes and large staircases with bends and junctions. Tell us about the run when you enquire and we will confirm the configuration.

Platform heights reach 7.9m, roughly 9.9m working height, which covers most residential and commercial stairwells.

You need a valid PASMA Towers for Users certificate, and PASMA Towers on Stairs on top of it — the stair build is a distinct skill and the specialist course requires the base qualification first. We run both from Croydon.

No. Improvising stability over a rise is one of the most common causes of tower incidents and the first thing a site inspection picks up. A stair tower is the designed solution and costs less than the consequences.
