What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Pole Position Scaffolding & Safety Netting earns consistent praise from customers in Wantage and the surrounding area for a professional and reliable service. Several reviewers describe the process as straightforward, noting that once an order is placed, the scaffolding is erected on the agreed day and removed promptly after the work is finished. Communication is repeatedly highlighted as a strong point, with customers mentioning that they were kept informed throughout and that queries were answered quickly.

The quality of the installation itself is described as excellent, with one customer noting that access was provided across every side and storey of a semi-detached house for external maintenance work including chimney repairs and roof tile replacement. Brook, a named member of staff, is mentioned in connection with an initial site visit, and the overall impression is of a company that delivers what it promises.

Reviewers often comment on how easy the company is to deal with, and one notes that they would use the service again. The prompt removal of the scaffolding after completion is a recurring theme, as is the courteous manner of the team. For customers requiring scaffolding for domestic repairs or similar projects, the feedback points to a dependable and well-organised operation.

Pole Position Customer Review In late October 2020, I needed access to all levels on all 3 sides of my semi-detached house in Wantage. I needed to undertake urgent external maintenance work, which included rebuilding the chimney stack, repairing and repainting the render to all external walls plus de-mossing the roof and replacing broken roof tiles. Pole Position was recommended to me by a local builder. Brook came to look at the job soon after I had called, he quoted me a very reasonable price which I was pleased to accept. My house is quite an awkward shape and is 30m away from the closest place where a lorry can park, so this was not such a straight forward job. Never the less Brook and his team completed most of the work in a single day, even accommodating my last minute request for an extra platform at the rear of the property, meaning he had to return to his yard for extra poles/planks! The work on my house took considerably longer than I had first anticipated, but Brook put me under no pressure and made no extra charge for the additional 3 months. When I had finally finished and asked Brook to come and take the scaffold down he did so after just a few days and had the whole lot down in just a morning! I can't recommend Pole Position highly enough, they did a great job for me! John Langrish Wantage Resident Spring 2021

Rude and aggressive. This company truck was parked on the pavement and cycle lanes in north Oxford (fine, a necessary inconvenience sometimes), and their guys leaning against it playing on their phones leaving only wet mud for pedestrians to walk on. I asked one if he was going to move so I could walk past without literally brushing up against him (social distancing, remember?) and the whole group became aggressive. Avoid.

Excellent service, ordered, put up on the day of choice, work done and then came and took it away very promptly. Would certainly recommend .
