How much should I expect to pay for scaffolding?

The cost of scaffolding depends on the size of the structure, the complexity of the design and how long it is required for. We provide clear written quotations after a site visit so you know exactly what to expect.

How much does it cost to rent scaffolding in the UK?

Scaffolding hire costs vary depending on the size, height and duration of the project. Residential scaffolding is usually priced per project, and we recommend arranging a site survey for an accurate quotation.

What is the average cost to erect scaffolding?

The average cost to erect scaffolding depends on the type of access required, the size of the property and the complexity of the installation. Erection and dismantling are typically included within the overall scaffolding quotation.

Do I need permission to erect scaffolding?

If the scaffolding is fully on private property, permission is not usually required. If any part of the scaffold needs to go onto a public pavement or road, a local council permit may be needed.

Can I erect my own scaffolding?

Scaffolding should only be erected by trained and competent professionals. Incorrect installation can create serious safety risks, so it is always best to use an experienced scaffolding company.

Can you take down scaffolding yourself?

Scaffolding should be dismantled by trained professionals. Taking it down without the right knowledge, equipment and safety procedures can be dangerous.
