New Build Safety Netting in Taunton
Magnetech Safety Net Systems UK is a specialist safety netting company providing high-quality new build safety nets across Bristol, Bath, Taunton, and the wider South West. Our new build safety nets protect tradespeople from falls during brickwork and scaffolding operations.
Safety Measures for Residential Construction
New build safety nets protect workers, safeguard materials, and help maintain compliance on construction sites. Magnetech’s experience ensures that every installation is designed to suit the specific requirements of modern builds while providing reliable fall protection.
Our team supplies and installs BS EN 1263-1 compliant safety nets for domestic safety netting, construction safety netting and safety nets on new build houses and high-rise office projects. All installations are completed by NVQ Level 2 qualified, FASET– and CHAS-accredited riggers, ensuring professional standards are met from the start.
For residential developments, Magnetech provides bespoke domestic safety netting for both single and multi-unit housing projects in Bristol, Bath, and Taunton. Nets are installed beneath elevated work areas, around open stairwells, and along perimeter edges, covering all areas of risk. Our construction safety netting solutions can be adapted to sites with constrained access, phased builds, or complex layouts, allowing builders to work confidently while maintaining safety.
Fall Protection During Structural New Build Works
New build construction often involves multiple stages of structural work at height, requiring reliable and adaptable fall protection. Magnetech supplies new build safety nets to protect carpenters, bricklayers, steel installers, and other trades working on new structures.
Safety nets are installed beneath elevated construction zones, creating a secure barrier beneath active work areas. Typical applications include:
- Timber frame installation
- Structural floor construction
- Steel framework erection
- Balcony and upper-floor construction
- Temporary floor void protection during structural works
- Skylight installation
- Ongoing protection as construction progresses
The flexibility of our domestic safety netting allows nets to be repositioned as construction progresses, ensuring ongoing protection throughout the build programme.
Safety Nets for High-Rise Office Construction
Large-scale commercial projects, such as high-rise office blocks, require robust construction safety netting. Magnetech installs new build safety nets designed for tall structures, helping to protect personnel, prevent falling debris, and maintain smooth workflows.
Our perimeter and internal safety nets are engineered to accommodate multiple floor heights, steel frameworks, and staged construction programmes. Integrating netting early in the programme allows site managers and developers to maintain efficiency while keeping worker safety a priority.
FAQs – New Build Safety Nets
Safety nets are not always mandatory, but the Work at Height Regulations 2005 require employers to prevent falls and protect workers at height. On new build sites where there is a risk of falling, safety nets are often used as part of a compliant fall protection strategy.
Safety nets should be positioned directly beneath the work area, extending beyond edges to reduce fall distance and prevent impact with the ground or structure below. Correct placement is essential to ensure maximum protection.
Nets should be checked visually daily for damage, inspected more thoroughly weekly or monthly, and undergo a detailed examination by a competent person at least annually. Any net showing wear or defects must be removed from use immediately.
Safety nets are part of a hierarchy of fall protection and should not automatically replace guardrails or harnesses. Depending on the risk assessment, they are often used alongside other measures to provide comprehensive protection.
