Who we are

A family firm people keep coming back to

E.J. White & Son has been putting up scaffold around Heanor and the wider Amber Valley for well over a decade. Our oldest Google review goes back to 2016 and the people who left the newest ones are the same sort of customers, homeowners and builders who ring us back the next time they need a lift.

It is Eric and the team. We do traditional tube and fitting, we turn up when we say we will, and we take it down promptly once you are finished. That is most of the job, and it is the part reviewers keep mentioning.

If it is a full three lift elevation or a single tower round a garden dovecote, it is worth a phone call either way.

What we do

Scaffold for whatever the job needs

Supply and erection of traditional scaffolding across Derbyshire and into Nottinghamshire, within about 35 miles of Heanor.

Domestic scaffolding

Re-roofs, chimney work, extensions, rendering and gable ends on houses across the Amber Valley. Most of our work is for homeowners and the builders who look after them.

Commercial scaffolding

Shop and high street frontages, sheeted and netted where the job needs it, put up with the pavement and the passing trade kept in mind.

Industrial supply and erection

Traditional tube and fitting scaffold supplied and erected for industrial sites and contractors.

Labour only service

Got your own kit but nobody to put it up? We will supply the crew and erect it for you. It says so on the side of our vans.

Small and one off jobs

A single lift, a chimney tower, a platform round an awkward garden feature. No job too small is not a slogan we picked, it is the one on our boards.

Short notice and weekend work

When a job cannot wait for Monday we will do our best to get to you. We have taken Saturday calls and been on site Sunday morning.

You will know us when we turn up

Our vans and our boards carry the same two numbers you will find on this page. If there is an E.J. White board on the scaffold, that is our work and our crew.

No job too small

A tower built round a garden dovecote.

Not every job is a full elevation. Some of them are one awkward structure in the middle of a flowerbed, and those are worth a call too.

I cant recommend Eric and his team highly enough. I have used this firm for many years and always found them to be very reliable, able to tackle any job I have given them , and reasonable on price.

Ruban SelvanayagamGoogle review, April 2026
Great service from this crew! Turned up when they said they would and took it down promptly when I had finished. I am not the most confident person working at height but scaffolding was spot on. Thanks Eric.

Nothing short of 5* Service. They were able to fit the job in at short notice. It was not a straight forward job due to access over a neighbours extension but the guys did a fantastic job. The scaffold was extremely sturdy and stood up to the high winds (~50- 60mph gusts)we have been having recently without issue.

These guys came to the rescue over the weekend, accepting a call for last minute scaffold on a Saturday and turning up early on the Sunday to do the job. We had a huge RSJ to put in, and not only did they come up with the best solution and put up the required platform super quickly, they also stayed on to help.
