Mays Scaffolding supplies and installs debris netting on our own scaffolds throughout London and the South East. Below, you can explore examples of completed scaffolding projects with protective netting, including installation details and prices. For a free quotation, call us on 020 3951 6014.
Please note: We do not sell debris netting separately from our scaffolding installations. If you need protective scaffold mesh, you can buy debris netting at Scaffolding Supplies for Sale, with a range of colours and sizes available to suit different project requirements
Our team installs debris netting to the required scaffold elevations, taking into account the structure’s design, site conditions and additional wind loading created by the protective mesh.
We secure the netting using cable zip ties, ensuring it is properly attached to the scaffold framework. The extent of coverage depends on the areas requiring protection and the activities taking place on site.
Our service covers scaffold erection, netting installation, hire and dismantling. The customer’s appointed tradespeople carry out all building, refurbishment, and construction work separately.
Debris netting is a lightweight, woven or knitted mesh, typically manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), that is secured around a scaffold.
Its open construction allows air to pass through while helping to contain small fragments, lightweight offcuts and loose materials within the working area.
The mesh provides additional protection where scaffolding is positioned near neighbouring properties, gardens, pedestrian routes or other occupied spaces.
Unlike solid scaffold sheeting, debris netting is permeable and does not create a fully enclosed working environment. It cannot prevent all dust from escaping or safely arrest heavy falling objects.
Debris netting complements existing scaffold protection, including guardrails and toe boards, rather than replacing these safety measures.
Debris netting and scaffold sheeting provide different levels of protection. Debris netting is a breathable mesh that helps contain lightweight debris while allowing air to pass through. Scaffold sheeting provides a more substantial barrier against wind, rain and dust, creating a more sheltered working environment.
Where greater weather protection is required, our scaffold sheeting installation service provides covered scaffolding elevations to help shield buildings and working areas from the elements.
Both coverings can be fitted to our own scaffolds, depending on the protection required and site conditions.
Debris netting can be incorporated into domestic, commercial and construction scaffolding where additional perimeter protection is required.
Common applications include:
Netting can be fitted to individual scaffold elevations or more extensive structures, depending on the required coverage and the suitability of the scaffold design.
Despite its open mesh construction, debris netting increases wind loading on the scaffold. It must be considered when assessing structural stability. Our scaffold inspections and safety checks help verify that netted structures remain safe for use, especially after severe weather or alterations.
Although debris netting allows airflow through its mesh, it still increases the wind forces acting on a scaffold.
The scaffold design must account for the proposed covering, including its permeability, fixing arrangements, height and site exposure. Additional ties or bracing may be necessary.
We secure the netting to the scaffold framework using suitable fixings, such as cable ties, ensuring the covering is compatible with the structure and its intended use.
Any loose or damaged netting should be reported promptly to us. The scaffold must also be inspected following severe weather or alterations that could affect its safety to ensure it remains safe to use.
The cost of installing debris netting is typically calculated per square metre, based on the area of scaffolding that needs coverage and the protective mesh specification.
Additional considerations include scaffold height, site exposure and any extra ties or bracing needed to accommodate wind loading.
Mays Scaffolding provides debris netting exclusively with our own scaffold installations. The cost of supplying, installing and removing the netting is included in our overall scaffolding quotation, alongside the scaffold hire and installation costs.

While debris netting helps contain lightweight materials, some projects require a more enclosed working environment. Our scaffold shrink wrapping services provide a sealed protective covering that offers greater resistance to wind and rain, making it suitable for projects requiring more extensive weather protection.
Yes, provided the scaffold is suitable for the additional covering and its wind loading. We only undertake this work on scaffolds supplied and erected by Mays Scaffolding.
Yes. Common colours include green, blue, black, red, orange, yellow, and white, although availability depends on the material specification and supplier stock.
No. Fine airborne dust can pass through the mesh. Where greater containment is necessary, alternative coverings or additional protective measures may be required.
No. Debris netting helps contain small, lightweight materials, while personnel safety nets and specialised falling-object protection systems serve different purposes.
Debris netting may be fitted beneath scaffold working platforms to help catch small fragments and loose materials that could otherwise fall through gaps between the boards. This provides additional protection for people and areas below, although it is not designed to support heavy falling objects.
Yes. Debris netting can be installed on individual elevations or selected sections of a scaffold where additional protection is required. The extent of the covering depends on the project requirements and the structure’s configuration.
Mays Scaffolding provides scaffolds with protective debris netting for domestic, commercial and construction projects throughout London and the South East.
