About the company

LEWIS Access Ltd manufactures and supplies British Made scaffold towers and other access equipment. The company has been operating since 2004 and is a family business. It holds ISO 9001 certification and many different Kitemark Licences, and all towers are certified by the BSI to the latest standard EN1004. LEWIS Access works closely with the BSI testing institution. The founder, Mark Guirard, took a welding course and gained certification for aluminium tig welding. In 2004, LEWIS Access designed its first prototype tower with the help of a structural engineer for in-house testing.

In 2006, it achieved the British Standard Kitemark Licence. In 2010, it designed and patented the Safe Brace, an innovative carrying device for scaffold braces. In 2016, it purchased the patent for the Scaflock system. In 2017, it introduced CAD design for customers requiring bespoke equipment. In 2019, it invested in three new robotic welders and opened its own foundry. In 2022, it established its own fleet of HGV trucks delivering products throughout the UK. LEWIS Access runs its own transport and covers the whole of the UK.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Prompt delivery and straightforward ordering stand out as the themes that surface most often in feedback on this Lewisham-based scaffolding and access hire specialist. Clients repeatedly describe towers and ladders arriving when promised, with several noting a confirmation call before dispatch and a follow-up afterwards to check that everything was in order. Reviewers frequently praise the build quality of the equipment, describing towers as sturdy, simple to erect and easy to dismantle, with the fact that the gear is manufactured in Britain singled out by more than one buyer.

Communication is another strand, covering clear guidance over the phone, quick replies by email and a willingness to resolve mistakes in ordering, including one customer who received the wrong item and was helped to exchange it without hassle. Named members of staff, Mo and Chloe, are thanked for providing measurements and product details, while the wider team is described as friendly and knowledgeable. Industrial staging boards, ladders and a 250 tower feature among the purchases, and buyers characterise the pricing as fair for the standard of product supplied. Orders placed by phone and deliveries handled by the firm's own driver recur as part of an experience customers describe as smooth.

Great service from Mo and Chloe. The team went above and beyond to provide relevant details and measurements. Order was simple to raise on the industrial staging boards. Very quick delivery at a good price. Thanks!

We purchased the double width 1.8m tower. Note that the lead in time is not as represented on the countdown tab, but instead is around two weeks. If you then require it sooner, they can arrange this by courier, but there is a charge for this service. We are however very happy with the quality of the item.

Ordering process is straightforward, communication is perfect, delivery is performed by their own drivers and product is first class. Its nice to use something which is well made and also manufactured locally. Very pleased.

We are self building a property on Anglesey and have purchased two towers from Lewis. We decided to purchase them because it was more cost effective than hiring from a local contractor. Lewis customer service has been second to none. Excellent, knowledgeable and courteous staff. Thank you and keep up the excellent work.

Poor experience - Costs and Delivery quoted at purchase online not to be trusted. Ordered c. £2k tower and told free delivery and 4 working days, this quickly went to 7 working days and then advised over 15 working day OR, I can pay an extra £270 - £308 for delivery - but they will very kindly (yes I am being sarcastic), contribute 50% of the delivery cost. Just be very aware if you need this for a certain date or don’t want on pay extra. I paid by bank transfer - so they have my money. If you do order, recommend you pay by card to have greater protection afforded by Visa / Mastercard regs. Very poor experience and I certainly would not recommend.

I always have a fantastic experience with this company while purchasing ladders and scaffolding. From the moment I reached out, their customer service was great. They were friendly and genuinely helpful, which made all the difference. The delivery was impressively quick, arriving right when they said it would. Communication throughout the process was excellent as well; I always felt informed and taken care of. Not to mention, their prices offer great value for money, which puts them at the top of my list. We only buy our ladders and scaffolding from them. Highly recommend!
