Shuttering Services
At SCS Bedford, we provide professional shuttering services to support a wide range of concrete construction projects across England. With over 15 years of experience in civil engineering and more than 3,000 successful projects completed, we specialize in delivering safe, accurate, and efficient shuttering solutions tailored to residential, commercial, and industrial developments.
Shuttering, also known as formwork, is the temporary mould used to hold wet concrete in place until it hardens and gains sufficient strength. It plays a crucial role in achieving the required shape, size, and finish of concrete structures.

Our Shuttering Process
At SCS Bedford, our shuttering process is carried out with attention to detail and compliance with engineering specifications:
Site Preparation – Detailed assessment of drawings and structural requirements.
Formwork Assembly – Installation of shuttering panels, bracing, and supports for stability.
Reinforcement Placement – Ensuring steel reinforcement fits securely within the shuttering system.
Concrete Pouring – Controlled placement of concrete to prevent leakage or deformation.
Striking/Dismantling – Careful removal of shuttering once the concrete has reached sufficient strength.
This systematic approach guarantees consistent results with a high-quality finish.
