If you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch and we'll answer it directly.

What is scaffolding used for?

Scaffolding gives builders, roofers, painters and other trades safe access to work at height — most commonly for extensions, re-roofing, repointing, guttering, and repairs.

How much does scaffolding cost?

Depends on size, height, duration and access. Rather than guess, we'll give you a free, no-obligation quote based on your actual job.

How long does scaffolding stay up?

Usually as long as the building work underneath is ongoing — we agree a timescale with you before starting, and can extend if the job runs on.

Do I need a permit for scaffolding?

Yes, if it sits on a public pavement or road — a council permit is required, and we handle this for you so it's one less thing to arrange yourself.

Will I still be able to access my home or business?

Yes — we design around keeping entrances usable, and flag any temporary restrictions in advance.

Are you insured and CISRS-qualified?

Yes — CISRS-qualified, £10M public liability insurance on every job.
