We Build for Those Who Build, Fix, and Keep the World Running.
Behind every home, office, school, hospital, and shop are the hands of tradespeople. Our team exists to support them - with smart tools, fast execution, and a mindset that matches their grit. We’ve built this company the same way they build: hands-on, resourceful, and with pride in every detail.
Relentlessly Resourceful.
Radically Capable.
We're redefining how we build, repair, and maintain our homes and workplaces. With strong IP protection, we've developed the first self-propelled, modular mobile work platform for safe and efficient work at heights of up to 3 meters - setting new standards in construction, maintenance, and trades.
Our lean, hands-on team has implemented where others hesitate - building CS Platforms from the ground up with determination, speed, and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. We've gotten this far by taking ownership every step of the way, and we're scaling intelligently with the most capable partners and our team to go even further.

Our Story
CS Platforms is a UK-based construction machinery SME.
Inefficient and unsafe ladders, scaffolding and bulky work platforms pose safety hazards for tradespeople. Conventional elevating and access equipment is cumbersome, prone to causing accidents and difficult to transport. In the UK alone, 10 Million workers work at height annually (APPG, 2020), resulting in over 400K reported work-related health issues and injuries annually from falls, slips and carrying. The toll for 2023 includes >3.4 Million+ lost working days and 66 fatalities. Based on the forementioned the data shows, that employers faced cost impact of £1.9Billion/year. In addition, the UK government was the cost bearer of £2.1Billion/year in workplace injuries and work related ill health, with the NHS incurring £294Million/year in extra expenses due to additional A&E costs and 98K extra bed days annually, threatening the sustainability of the entire industry (HSE, 2022/2023).
CS Platforms is developing the first self-propelled, smart modular mobile work platform for tradespeople and businesses working at heights up to 3m.
Compared to competitors, CS Platforms’ solution has a unique combination of modularity and multifunctionality that ladders, scaffoldings and bulky work platforms do not have. The Ceilingsurfs' portability and multifunctionality reduces setup time by 60% and logistical efforts by 70%. The product enables safer, less physically demanding work. Existing elevated work equipment is heavy, prone to accidents and logistically challenging. Ceilingsurf reduces the risks of accidents by 90%. Other key features include its self-propulsion and automatic lifting capabilities, which are missing from traditional elevated working equipment. This increases the efficiency by fourfold compared to conventional climbing devices in tests.
The Ceilingsurf smart mobile work platform is the ultimate tool for the heroes of construction and trades, revolutionising work by making it easier, faster, and safer.
