Scaffolding questions
Can you work outside normal business hours?
Yes. We can arrange out-of-hours erection and strike for commercial and retail sites where daytime access is restricted. Please discuss your requirements at the quote stage.
Do you provide public protection on commercial sites?
Yes. Where scaffolding is adjacent to public footpaths or highways, we install debris netting, scaffolding fans, and pedestrian protection as required by local authority and CDM regulations.
Can you provide a scaffold design drawing?
Yes. For complex or notifiable scaffolding structures, we provide scaffold design drawings and loading calculations. We work with structural engineers where required.
Do I need planning permission to erect scaffolding on my property?
In most cases, no. Temporary scaffolding is usually permitted development. However, if your property is listed or in a conservation area, you should check with your local council. We can advise you on this.
How long does it take to erect domestic scaffolding?
A standard domestic scaffold — such as access to a roof or side elevation — typically takes half a day to a full day to erect, depending on the size and complexity.
Can scaffolding damage my property?
When erected by a competent scaffolding contractor, damage should be minimal. We use rubber feet and protective sleeving on all contact points. We carry out a pre-erection condition survey and photograph the property before starting.
