Sumner Scaffold Hoists Limited has been providing safe access solutions in Christchurch since it was incorporated in 2016 by Natalie and Scott Girling. The business is New Zealand owned and operated, running as an owner-operated company alongside its two subsidiaries, Sumner Scaffolding and Akaroa Scaffolding.
The company's team is made up of highly qualified advanced scaffolders, committed to what the business describes as giving customers the best service in the industry. Sumner Scaffold Hoists states its vision is to be recognised by both existing and potential customers as an industry leader in quality, safety, reliability, and delivering excellent service consistently.
Rather than focusing on a single sector, Sumner Scaffold Hoists works across commercial, residential, industrial, marine, oil and gas, events, and infrastructure projects. That breadth means the company's scaffolding and access solutions are built to handle everything from a residential renovation to larger industrial or infrastructure work, and even temporary structures for events.
The business offers three main services. Fixed & Mobile Scaffolding covers the core access solutions needed for construction and maintenance work, whether a project calls for a permanent fixed structure or a more flexible mobile setup. Temporary Fencing provides site security and safety boundaries for construction sites or events. Shrink Wrap & Safety Netting rounds out the offering, providing weather protection and safety containment for scaffolded sites.
Sumner Scaffold Hoists is based at 39 Hands Road, Middleton, Christchurch, and is open Monday to Friday from 7:00am to 4:30pm, Saturday from 8:00am to 4:00pm, and Sunday from 8:00am to 2:00pm. Customers can reach the business directly through owners Natalie or Scott, or by email, and the company maintains a Facebook page for updates.
As an owner-operated business, Sumner Scaffold Hoists brings a personal level of accountability to its work, with Natalie and Scott Girling directly involved in running the company since its 2016 incorporation. Combined with its subsidiaries Sumner Scaffolding and Akaroa Scaffolding, the business has built a presence across the wider Christchurch and Canterbury area, serving a wide client base without losing the hands-on approach of a smaller, owner-led operation.
