Scaffold hire questions
How much does scaffolding cost?
It depends on the height of the building, how many sides need scaffolding, how long you need it up and how easy it is to get to. Most houses can be priced from a few photos. Call or send us the job and Dean will give you a clear price, with the hire period included.
How long can I keep the scaffold?
The quote includes a hire period agreed with you. If the job runs on, just let us know. When you are finished, call us and we will come and take it down.
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.
Do I need to be in when you put it up?
Not always. As long as we can get to the house and you have told us what is being scaffolded, we can usually put it up while you are out. We will agree it with you first.
