I'll arrange scaffolding hire for your project - coordinate delivery, setup, and collection so you don't have to.
One Less Thing To Worry About
If you're planning work that needs scaffolding, coordinating multiple tradespeople can be a headache. The scaffolding firm, the builder, the timing - it's a lot to juggle.
If I'm doing your actual work (roofing, gutters, exterior painting etc), I can arrange the scaffolding as part of the job. I'll coordinate everything with companies I've used before.
What I Do
| Task | How It Helps You |
|---|---|
| Advise on requirements | Tell you what scaffolding's actually needed |
| Contact local firms | Get quotes from reputable companies I've used |
| Coordinate delivery | Schedule it to arrive when work starts |
| Confirm collection | Arrange removal when work's finished |
| Be the contact | Deal with the scaffolding company directly |
What You Pay
My coordination fee: £60
This covers my time arranging everything, liaising with the scaffolding company, and making sure timing works for your project.
Scaffolding hire cost: £400-800 typically (paid direct to scaffolding company)
This varies based on property size, how long it's needed, and height. Weekly rental after initial setup.
💡 Pro tip: If you're doing multiple jobs requiring scaffolding (gutters, then painting later), do them together while the scaffolding's up. Saves paying setup costs twice.

Jobs that usually require it:

What to Expect
Step 1: Assess Your Project
When I quote your job, I'll tell you if scaffolding's needed. If so, I'll advise on what's required.
Step 2: Coordinate Hire
I'll contact scaffolding companies, get a price, and let you know the cost. You approve and they invoice you directly.
Step 3: Schedule Delivery
Scaffolding arrives before I start work, erected and inspected. I confirm when we'll be finished so collection can be arranged.
🔧 DIY Tips
🔧 Hiring scaffolding yourself?
If you want to arrange it independently:
What to tell them:
- Property address (they'll often visit to quote)
- How high it needs to go
- How long you'll need it
- Any access restrictions
Things to ask:
- Setup and weekly rental costs
- Insurance coverage
- Collection notice period (usually a week)
- What if you need it longer?
⚠️ Safety checks:
- Scaffolding should be inspected after erection
- Don't use if it looks unstable
- Don't overload platforms
- Don't climb in high winds
💡 Pro trick: Book scaffolding for longer than you think you'll need. Rushing a job because the scaffolding's booked for collection is stressful. An extra week's rental is usually £50-80.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🔧 Planning permission? For most residential jobs you don't need it, but scaffolding on public pavement requires a license from the council. Reputable scaffolding firms sort this.
My local scaffolders. I use companies I've worked with on previous jobs - reliable, properly insured, and fairly priced.
Combining jobs? If you're having multiple exterior jobs done, do them while scaffolding's up. Much more cost-effective than separate visits.
Access issues? Narrow lanes, parking restrictions, or awkward access can affect cost. Worth mentioning when booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I pay you to arrange scaffolding?
If you're already booking me for the actual work (roof repair, gutters, painting etc), I can coordinate the scaffolding as part of the job. I know reputable local firms, can advise on what's needed, and schedule it to match my work dates. Saves you the hassle.
Do you supply the scaffolding yourself?
No - I arrange it through local scaffolding companies I've worked with. They deliver, erect, and collect it. But I coordinate all that so you don't have to deal with multiple tradespeople.
How much does the actual scaffolding cost?
That's separate - you pay the scaffolding company directly (usually £400-800 for a typical house depending on size and duration). My £60 fee is just for arranging and coordinating it all.
Can't I just hire scaffolding myself?
Absolutely - nothing stopping you. But if I'm doing the work anyway, it makes sense for me to coordinate it. I know what size is needed, when it should arrive, and when we're finished with it.
What if I need it for longer than expected?
I'll let the scaffolding company know. Most charge weekly rental, so extending a few days is usually straightforward. I'll keep you updated on timing.
