Scaffolding and access hire mixes long contracts with strict safety duties. A structure can stay erected on site for months, quietly running up charges that must be billed accurately, while regular inspections have to be carried out and evidenced. Meanwhile, large volumes of tube, boards, and fittings spread across many sites are easily lost. Renttix handles recurring hire billing, stores inspection records against each job, and tracks quantities out and back, so your yard and your paperwork stay under control.
Common challenges in scaffolding hire
Long-running site hire contracts
Scaffolding often stays erected on a site for months, so tracking exactly what is on hire, for how long, and at what ongoing rate is critical.
Safety inspections and compliance
Regular safety inspections must be carried out, recorded, and readily available, with certificates and reports tied to each site and structure for audits or clients.
Counting tube and fittings
Reconciling large volumes of tube, boards, and fittings spread across many active sites against what should still be sitting in the yard is difficult.
How Renttix helps
Recurring hire charges
Bill long-running site hires automatically on weekly or monthly cycles, with off-hire dates recorded so charging stops the moment equipment is returned to the yard.
Inspection records and certificates
Log safety inspections and store certificates against each hire, so the compliance documents you need are easy to find when a client or inspector asks for them.
Bulk stock reconciliation
Track the quantities of tube, boards, and fittings issued to each site and returned, so you can reconcile yard stock accurately and reduce unexplained losses.
Frequently asked questions
You can set a hire on a recurring weekly or monthly charge, so a structure that stays erected for a long period is billed automatically for each period it remains out. When the scaffold is struck and returned, you record the off-hire date and charging stops, keeping revenue and paperwork aligned with what is actually on site.
Yes. Safety inspections can be logged against the relevant hire, and certificates or reports stored alongside them. Because everything is tied to the specific site and structure, you can quickly produce the right documentation when a client, principal contractor, or inspector asks, rather than searching through separate folders or paperwork.
You can record the quantities of tube, boards, and fittings issued to each site and the amounts returned when a job finishes. This gives you a running picture of what is out versus what should be in the yard, making stock reconciliation more accurate and helping you identify and reduce losses over time.
Yes. Alongside traditional tube-and-fitting scaffold, you can manage towers, powered access, and edge protection as tracked items with their own availability and rates. Everything sits in one system, so you can see what is free, what is out, and what is due back across your full access range from a single view.
