About SwanDor
Dorset's Trusted Scaffolding & Roofing Specialists
Family-run, locally based, and deeply committed to quality. We've been part of the Dorset community for over 25 years.
Our Story
Built on Trust, Grown Through Reputation
Swanage & Dorset Scaffolding and Roofing Ltd was founded with a simple belief: that local people and businesses deserve exceptional trade services from someone they can trust. Since opening our doors in Swanage, we have grown through word of mouth, the best kind of growth, because it is earned.
Today, we are one of the most recognised scaffolding and roofing contractors in Dorset. We have worked on hundreds of properties across the region, from modest chimney repairs on terraced homes in Swanage to complex commercial scaffolding contracts in Poole and Bournemouth.
What sets us apart is not just our technical ability; it is the personal service we provide. When you call SwanDor, you speak to someone who cares about your project. We will give you honest advice, fair pricing, and a team that treats your property with respect.

What We Stand For
Safety First, Always
Every job, big or small, is planned with safety as the top priority. All operatives are trained, all equipment is inspected, and all works comply with current legislation.
Quality Craftsmanship
We take pride in what we build. Whether it's a scaffold for a chimney repair or a complex flat roof installation, the same high standards apply every time.
Local Knowledge
We know Dorset. We understand the local building styles, the coastal climate challenges, and the expectations of homeowners and businesses in this area.
Reliability You Can Count On
We turn up when we say we will. We finish on time. We keep you informed. Simple things that make a massive difference when your project depends on us.
