How This Works
Scaffold costs depend on property size (number of elevations to scaffold), height (number of lifts), and hire duration. Typical breakdown: erection/dismantling labour 60%, materials/hire 40%. Costs are quoted as a fixed package including erect, agreed hire period, and strike (remove). Extensions beyond the agreed period are charged weekly.
Yes — scaffolding on a public footpath or road requires a licence from the local council (typically the Highways department). Cost: £40–150 for 4 weeks. Application takes 5–10 working days. Your scaffolding company should handle this. Scaffolding entirely on your private land (driveway, garden) needs no licence. Always use a NASC-member company — they carry appropriate public liability insurance and comply with TG20 guidance.
