Lift Shaft Scaffold Wraps for a Weekend PPM Project in Central London

At Project Print Management, we understand that refurbishment and planned maintenance projects don’t have to leave buildings looking like construction sites. Our latest weekend installation at the Department for Education (DfE) headquarters in Central London is a great example of how high-quality lift shaft scaffold wraps can improve the appearance of an occupied building while essential maintenance takes place.

The project formed part of a planned preventative maintenance (PPM) programme, with engineers carrying out essential work on the building’s lift shafts. Our brief was straightforward but technically demanding – completely conceal the internal scaffolding while maintaining a professional environment for staff, visitors and the media.

A Challenging Installation Across Multiple Floors

One of the biggest challenges on this project was ensuring that the artwork aligned perfectly across multiple floors. With scaffold structures extending through several levels of the building, the digitally print wrap had to line up precisely to create one continuous visual display.

Careful surveying, detailed planning and experienced installation were essential to achieve a seamless finish. Our installation team worked throughout the weekend to minimise disruption, ensuring the building was ready for the working week on Monday morning.

The finished scaffold wraps transformed what would otherwise have been an exposed construction area into a clean, professional-looking environment.

Concealing Internal Scaffolding During Lift Maintenance

Internal scaffold wraps provide an effective solution for organisations that need to carry out maintenance without compromising the appearance of their premises.

For the Department for Education, the objective was to hide the scaffolding surrounding the lift shafts while engineers completed their work safely behind the scenes. Our bespoke printed scaffold wraps created an attractive temporary barrier that blended into the surrounding interior while maintaining a tidy, professional workplace.

This approach is particularly valuable in government buildings, corporate headquarters, public buildings and commercial offices where appearance matters throughout refurbishment projects.

Window Manifestation for the Press Office

Alongside the scaffold wraps, Project Print Management also installed bespoke window manifestation within the Department for Education’s press office.

This space is regularly used for television interviews and media briefings involving the Education Secretary and senior government officials, making presentation just as important as functionality.

The new window manifestation enhances privacy, improves the appearance of the office and creates a professional backdrop suitable for media activity while complementing the building’s interior design.

Why Weekend Installations Matter

Many of our clients choose weekend installations to minimise disruption to their daily operations.

By completing both the scaffold wrap installation and window manifestation over a weekend, the Department for Education was able to continue business as usual on Monday morning, with no interruption to staff or visitors.

This flexible approach is one of the reasons Project Print Management is trusted to deliver projects within occupied buildings where careful planning and efficient installation are essential.
