Chimney scaffolding in Plymouth
A chimney job needs a platform that goes right round the stack, often built off the roof itself. We build it so the roofer or builder can work on every side, with the roof protected underneath.

In short: Chimney scaffolding is a platform built all the way round a chimney stack, often from the roof itself, so the stack can be repointed, reflashed or rebuilt safely. Lyon Scaffolding builds chimney scaffolds across Plymouth.

Chimney scaffolding: common questions
Do I need scaffolding to repair a chimney?
For most chimney work, yes. Repointing, flashings and pots all need a safe platform right round the stack, which ladders and roof ladders cannot give you.
Can you scaffold a chimney from the roof?
Yes. Where the stack sits on a pitched roof we can build a platform on the roof itself, with the roof protected underneath.
How do I get a price for chimney scaffolding?
Send a photo of the house and the chimney from the street, by WhatsApp or the form, and we can usually price it from that.
Do I need a licence if the scaffold is on the pavement?
If any part of the scaffold stands on the pavement or road, Plymouth City Council needs a scaffold licence before it goes up. Dean will tell you at the quote stage if your job needs one.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry £10 million public liability insurance. Ask and we will send you the certificate.
