Retain Access

Retain Access is part of the Retain Limited group of companies, a well-established, award-winning three-in-one contractor with experts in industrial and commercial roofing, scaffolding installation, safety netting and access solutions, and roof-mounted solar PV design and fixtures. We found unique space in the market to offer clients a structured approach by eliminating the need for multiple contractors by streamlining the process by being a one-point, trusted contact for clients. This approach builds both a strong client-contractor relationship and clear communication between project site workers.
 
Here, at Retain Access, we provide premium, specialist scaffolding installation, safety netting and access solutions across the nation. All of our on-site operatives have acquired the necessary and desirable skills and industry qualifications to enable them to deal with all aspects of scaffolding installation, maintenance and removal.

We are proud to have a customer centric approach to each job we embark on and are committee to ensuring all of our clients are 100% happy with their scaffolding structure at each stage of their project. 

​The professional quality of our work and the reliability of our on-site team is what sets us apart. We are here to elevate the standard of scaffolding across the nation.

Retain Limited & the Royal Marines Charity

Retain Limited is incredibly proud to work closely with the Royal Marines Charity (RMA). This fantastic charitable organisation aims to provide a lifetime of support to the Royal Marines Family by whatever means required.

 

The RMA has grown professionally over the last few years, which was initially established through personal connections from our very own management team here at Retain Limited.

 

With many of our employees previously serving in the Royal Marines, including our Founder and Director Jamie Gibbs, we endeavour to provide employment opportunities to help other former Royal Marines re-adjust to the lifestyle of a UK civilian.

 

We also strive to help educate, train and create bespoke career pathways tailored to individual skill sets to enable and encourage a successful and fulfilling life post-service.
