What is scaffolding?

Scaffolding consists of a temporary frame made from stainless steel poles that are situated horizontally and vertically to provide easy access, much similar to a Meccano giant set — and then laid out with wooden walk boards. Scaffolding is a versatile structure; it is adaptable for use in hard-to-reach areas and narrow spaces, such as chimneys.

You can make use of this if you plan to work on roof tiles, chimneys or eaves. Scaffolding does the job of providing this access. To ensure safety at your site, scaffolding should be hired and assembled. Making use of scaffolding systems provides access to areas that are not easily reached. Moreover, a good scaffolding structure makes work fast, safe, time-efficient, and cost-effective.

Scaffolding is particularly vital to projects using weighty materials such as steel beams during construction. Before work commences, materials can be arranged on the scaffolding so the need to move the materials about is reduced.  Need help? Our experts are on standby always to help. We can also provide great advice on other scaffolding matters.

How does scaffolding work?

Scaffolds are constructed using metal poles that are laid vertically and horizontally. Wooden planks placed across the poles form plank walkways commonly referred to as levels or lifts. Certain projects may need multiple levels; this can be achieved by placing more wooden walkways or adding more horizontal metal poles. However, this process is more expensive and increases the duration of scaffolding installation.

Safety handrails and access ladders are standard requirements for scaffolds. Scaffolds are assembled to resolve construction problems and they are assembled by scaffolding experts with the necessary equipment. Modern scaffolding is adaptable for use in tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas such as chimneys.

Can anyone erect scaffolding?

Scaffolding structures must be designed, installed, and disassembled by professional scaffolders in compliance with industry health and safety regulations.  This is implemented by the 2005 work at height regulations. Unqualified individuals invalidate your insurance when they erect your building’s scaffolding. Ensure that the company you are trying to hire has the required qualification, training and experience.

How is the cost of scaffolding hire calculated?

Clients generally hire scaffolding for a fixed period, often 4 weeks, but an additional fee is charged after the fixed period elapses. Long-term projects may attract extra fees if the project exceeds the set completion time.

What are the elements that influence the price of scaffolding hire?

There are various factors which affect the price of scaffolding hire. For one, the project type will greatly affect the price. Some of those factors that influence scaffolding hire quote include:

• The number of scaffold lifts needed.
• The height and length of the scaffolding structure.
• The number of scaffold lifts that need boarding out.
• Whether a scaffolding pavement license will be necessary and how much it costs (this varies between local councils).
• The location of the site where the scaffolding needs to be erected.
• If beams will be necessary for bridging certain obstacles.
• Special access equipment or design work required

The longer the scaffolding remains erected, the higher the cost of the scaffolding hire.  It is recommended that you install the scaffolding system when you want to begin your project. When choosing a company, remember to look for one that allows advance booking for scaffolding installations and one that does fast delivery.
The aim is to not spend money on an idle scaffolding system.
