With social-distancing and self-isolation guidelines still very much in effect due to the coronavirus pandemic, operatives from Mitchell's Scaffolding Ltd are currently only undertaking emergency work. If, like us, you've got extra time on your hands and need a bit of cheering up, then this edition of our blog should help.
One of the key services at Mitchell's Scaffolding Ltd is the provision of temporary stairs, which facilitate safe, easy access to all kinds of contractors working on all kinds of construction and renovation projects. While the work of such contractors is serious business, there are plenty of wild, wacky and wonderful folk who use them for very different purposes. Check out these record-breakers but please don't try recreating them at home (or at work!).

We'd love to see pictures of your attempts...
