Grave Shoring Service and Maintenance

For the safety and welfare of your staff and to meet the Provision and Use of Working Equipment Regulations (PUWER), we recommend that your shoring equipment be inspected and serviced on an annual basis. We have a national team of Service Engineers who are ready to provide an independent inspection of your equipment and will endeavour to ensure that your equipment is fit for purpose and ready for use.  Our well-stocked mobile workshop allows us to service items on site, minimising the downtime of your essential equipment. Our Inspection and service includes:

  • Equipment is counted and an audit list is produced.
  • Ensure equipment is working within correct tolerances.
  • Ensure equipment is fully pressure tested where appropriate.
  • Ensure equipment is repaired and retested as required.
  • Ensure equipment is SAFE for use

Why not sign up to our Annual Service Plan?

Allow us to take the stress out of your inspection and servicing needs.  Ask about our 3 or 5-year fixed price plans, allowing you to budget and plan for the future with confidence. 

What to do before your inspection:

Confirm the address(es) for the location of your equipment is correct. Ensure the equipment is clean and dismantled where possible and appropriate.

Understanding Shoring

  • What is shoring?

    Shoring is equipment that is used to provide temporary support and bracing to a trench or grave.  Dependent on the ground type, weather conditions and size of the trench or grave, the relevant shoring is used to protect staff who are digging and also members of the public visiting.  Shoring maintains the integrity of the trench or grave and reduces the risk of injury. 

  • Why do we Shore?

    “There’s no other industry in the world that would excavate a large trench or grave and then invite 30 plus members of the public to stand around it”

  • What Equipment

    With changeable British seasons, graveside safety is one of the most important elements of risk assessments in cemeteries.  Teleshore has the largest selection of shoring equipment, ranging from telescopic shoring, hydraulic shoring, steel panels, butterfly jacks and speed braces.
