Some of Your Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some commonly asked questions about our scaffolding services, along with clear
and helpful answers. We’re committed to safety, reliability, and excellent customer service
for all your projects across the UK
1. Do I need planning permission for scaffolding?
In most cases, no planning permission is required for temporary scaffolding on private
property. However, if it affects the public highway (such as the pavement), a licence from
your local council is needed. We’ll handle this for you to ensure full compliance.
2. How much does scaffolding hire cost?
Costs vary depending on the project’s size, complexity, duration, and location. We provide
competitive, transparent quotes tailored to your needs with no hidden fees. Contact us for
a free, no-obligation estimate.
3. How long does it take to erect and dismantle scaffolding?
Erection typically takes a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the scale.
Dismantling is usually quicker. We aim for minimal disruption and can often accommodate
urgent requests within 48-72 hours.
4. Is your scaffolding safe and compliant with UK regulations?
Absolutely. All our structures comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005, TG20
guidelines, and NASC standards. Our team holds CISRS qualifications, and we conduct
thorough risk assessments for every job.
5. How often is scaffolding inspected?
By law, scaffolds are inspected at least every seven days, after alterations, or following
adverse weather. We provide a handover certificate upon completion and detailed
inspection reports for your peace of mind.
6. Do you need access to my property to erect scaffolding?
Yes, brief access is usually required for safe erection and dismantling. We’ll discuss this in
advance and work around your schedule to keep inconvenience to a minimum.
7. What types of projects do you provide scaffolding for?
We cater to domestic, commercial, and industrial projects, including roofing, painting,
extensions, new builds, and maintenance work. Our solutions include access scaffolding,
temporary roofs, and edge protection.
8. Are your scaffolders qualified and insured?
Yes, all our team members are fully trained, CISRS-certified, and CSCS-registered. We
carry comprehensive public liability insurance for complete protection.
9. Can scaffolding be erected in bad weather?
We monitor weather conditions closely for safety. Erection may be delayed in high winds or
severe conditions, but our structures are designed to withstand typical UK weather once in
place.
