3. BIGBEN UltraTuff Rubble Chutes

4. BIGBEN Superclad LPS1215 Certified Flame-Retardant Scaffold Sheeting
At Leach’s, we’re proud to be the UK’s leading distributor of scaffold sheeting and debris netting, with one of the largest inventories in the country. Our BIGBEN Superclad Certified Fire-Retardant Scaffold Sheeting is LPS1215 certified and ensures your site stays productive in any weather, offering vital protection from rain, snow, and wind chill to keep your team safe and on track.
The BIGBEN scaffold sheeting can also be used for containing debris and preventing falling objects, particularly in demolition projects. This is essential for safeguarding workers, third-party visitors, and the surrounding public or maybe near the vicinity.
The flame-retardant properties of this sheeting provide added protection for every site, giving you peace of mind, especially on larger or more complex projects. Paired with proper fire safety training for your team, you’ll be well-prepared for any challenge. It is important to note that when installing fire-retardant scaffold sheeting, the structure must meet British Standards’ codes of practice to handle the increased wind load. Always consult a qualified scaffold designer or structural engineer for guidance before installing sheeting or debris netting, and don’t forget to carry out a full risk assessment.
Another important note for good measure, it that if scaffold sheeting is being used for weather protection, the upper sheets must overlap the lower sheets externally. This is to ensure that the rain runs down the side of the scaffold sheeting and does not enter the protected area. For scaffold sheeting being used for containment such as demolition projects, the upper sheets must overlap the lower sheets internally to ensure all debris is contained securely within the sheeting.
