City Temporary Works

Hoarding

Construction Hoarding Inspection

Independent inspections of construction hoarding, gates, supports and site changes, with clear photographic reports and priority actions.

Public-facing temporary works that need ongoing checks

Construction hoarding is exposed to public interfaces, wind, vehicle movement, ground disturbance, repeated access and ongoing site change. Even where a suitable design was originally provided, its condition and support arrangements can deteriorate or be altered during the project.

Our inspections provide a structured review of the visible hoarding condition, available design information, supports, foundations, gates, sheeting and changes affecting stability or public protection.

Frequently asked questions

What does a hoarding inspection include?

Reviews typically cover available drawings and assumptions, line and level, posts, panels, fixings, foundations or kentledge, gates, sheeting, ground changes, damage and public-interface risks, together with inspection records and action close-out.

How often should hoarding be inspected?

Frequency depends on exposure, design requirements, public interface and site activity. Many projects use a recurring programme after installation, following weather or impact events, and at defined intervals during occupation.

What do we receive after a hoarding inspection?

A photographic report, location-based schedule of findings, immediate escalation of urgent concerns, prioritised repair and maintenance actions, and identification of missing or unsuitable design information where relevant.

Can you reinspect after repairs?

Yes. Optional reinspection after corrective works can be included, and design or design-checking support can be arranged separately where the existing information is incomplete or unsuitable.

What information is needed before the visit?

Site address, hoarding extent, available drawings or design notes, recent photographs if available, and any known damage, gate issues or ground changes. Preferred inspection date and access arrangements help confirm availability.
