Frequently asked questions

+Does surplus scaffold boards count for PAS 2035?

Yes when spec and certification are preserved. Keep batch numbers and BBA certificates with your evidence pack.

+How do I finish a scaffold board?

Sand to 120 grit, brush off dust, apply clear or tinted hard-wax oil.

+Can I use surplus on ECO4-funded work?

Yes — ECO4 assessors care about spec and installation quality, not new-vs-surplus provenance.
