Before you hire scaffolding, let’s discuss some of the elements that influence the cost of scaffolding, the different kinds of scaffolding available and average size estimates for scaffolding.

Why do you need scaffolding?

According to the current health and safety legislation in the UK, it is now mandated tradesmen use scaffolding platforms for access when working at height. This means, the use of ladders is only approved only legal for quick jobs – for long project work at heights, scaffolding is now the legal requirement.

So, for jobs like exterior painting of external walls, replacement of windows and fascia, roofing work, chimney restoration and so on, scaffolding is mandatory. Whether you intend to construct a new build or renovate your existing building, you will need an access platform to reach the higher parts of your building or the roof, especially if you intend to paint the eaves, work on your chimney or replace roof tiles.

This is where scaffolding comes in. To help you safely get the job done, scaffolding needs to be erected or hired. When you use scaffolding systems, you get access to hard to reach areas. In addition, scaffolding allows your professionals conduct work quickly and in a more efficient manner, which saves money and time.

scaffolding is especially useful when heavy materials, such as mortar bricks, have to be used during construction work. Materials can be stockpiled on the scaffolding before work begins, so trips up and down the structure are reduced.

How does scaffolding work?

Scaffolds are built using metal poles that are erected with some poles vertically and with some poles erected horizontally. Wooden plank walkways are then laid on these poles -this is referred to as lifts or levels.If your project needs multiple levels or lifts, then more walking boards or horizontal poles are added -this increases the price of the equipment and the scaffold erection takes longer.

For most scaffolds, access ladders and safety handrails are a standard. Scaffolds are erected by scaffolding professionals, who have the equipment to tackle obstacles that could affect the safe use of the scaffold. Most modern scaffold systems are versatile and can be used in areas where it is impossible to reach, or narrow spaces like around chimneys.

scaffolding is the current health and safety standard for working at height because it is one of the safest high working access platforms.

Can anyone erect scaffolding?

scaffolding should be erected, designed and dismantled by only skilled and qualified scaffolders, under the supervision of health and safety advisers. This is as stipulated by the work at height regulations of 2005. scaffolding structures, erected by untrained individuals will void the insurance. So, before hiring a scaffolding company, please ensure that they have the relevant experience and are highly trained.
