Scaffolding for extensions and new builds

Builders use us because we turn up when we say and we come back to raise or alter the scaffold as the job moves on. We work with you lift by lift, from the first course of blocks to the roof.

Scaffold round a new build with timber cladding going on

In short: Scaffolding for extensions and new builds goes up lift by lift as the walls rise, then is altered for the roof. Lyon Scaffolding works with builders and developers across Plymouth.

When you need it

  • Two-storey and side extensions
  • New builds and self builds
  • Loft conversions and dormers
  • Renovations and refurbs
  • Raising lifts as the walls go up

Builders: send us the drawings or a photo of the site and the start date.

Every scaffold is boarded, tied in and fitted with handrails and toe boards, and we carry £10 million public liability insurance.

Extensions and new builds: common questions

Can the scaffold go up as the walls go up?

Yes. We start with the first lift and come back to add lifts as the build gets higher, then alter it for the roof.

Do you work for builders and developers?

Yes. Send the drawings or a site photo with your start date and we will price it.

Can you scaffold a loft conversion?

Yes. Loft conversions and dormers usually need a full scaffold at the back or side with a working platform at roof level.

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.
