Scaffolding across Essex
All Scaffolding Services Kent Ltd provides scaffolding across Essex, with particular strength in Thurrock and south Essex — the areas closest to our base in Hextable, Swanley. The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge connects us directly to Thurrock, making Grays, Tilbury, Purfleet and the surrounding Thurrock towns straightforward to reach. From Thurrock, we cover the A13 and A127 corridors through Basildon, Southend-on-Sea and the Thames Estuary towns, and the A12 corridor through Brentwood and Chelmsford.
Essex has a diverse mix of property types — Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the older town centres, 1930s and post-war semi-detached houses across the suburban areas, and significant commercial and industrial activity in the port towns and new towns. We provide scaffolding for the full range of domestic, commercial and trade work across the county.
We hold Constructionline Gold accreditation and Achilles accreditation. We carry £10m public liability insurance and our scaffolders hold CISRS cards. We provide free site visits and written quotations across Essex.
Domestic scaffolding in Essex
We provide domestic scaffolding across Essex for roof replacement, chimney work, loft conversions, extensions, rendering and repointing. Essex has a wide range of property types — from Victorian terraces in the older town centres to 1930s semis in the suburban areas and larger detached properties in the more affluent towns.
We design each scaffold around the specific property and the work being carried out. We carry out a site assessment before erecting any scaffold to ensure the design is safe and appropriate. Read more about our domestic scaffolding service.

Scaffolding for roofers — how we work with roofing contractorsLoft conversions and extensions in Essex
Loft conversions and rear extensions are popular home improvements across Essex, particularly on the 1930s semi-detached houses in the suburban areas.
We provide scaffolding for loft conversions and extensions across Essex, planning around the specific property and access requirements. The 1930s semi-detached houses that dominate the suburban areas of Basildon, Brentwood, and Havering typically have side access and manageable front gardens, but the post-war estates in the new towns can present tighter constraints. Where the scaffold needs to cross a public pavement, we manage the highway licence application with the relevant local authority on your behalf.
Contact us to discuss your loft conversion or extension project in Essex.
Commercial scaffolding in Essex
Essex has significant commercial and industrial activity — particularly in the port towns of Tilbury and Purfleet, the new towns of Basildon and Harlow, and the commercial centres of Chelmsford, Brentwood and Southend-on-Sea. We provide access scaffolding for commercial buildings, industrial units, retail premises and mixed-use developments across the county.
We hold Constructionline Gold accreditation and Achilles accreditation, meeting the requirements of commercial clients and local authority procurement frameworks.

Temporary roof systems in Essex
We provide temporary roof systems for storm-damaged and structurally compromised properties across Essex. Essex's Thames Estuary coastline and open landscape make it particularly exposed to storm damage, and the county's large stock of Victorian and Edwardian properties means that roof failures after severe weather are not uncommon. When a roof is damaged or needs to be stripped, a temporary roof system using aluminium scaffold frames and heavy-duty polythene sheeting provides the weathertight protection needed to prevent further damage to the building's interior while permanent repairs are carried out.
Temporary roof systems are also used during planned re-roofing projects where the property needs to remain watertight throughout the works. This is particularly relevant for Essex's larger period properties and commercial buildings, where the cost of secondary water damage can far exceed the cost of the temporary roof itself. We work closely with roofing contractors and building owners to ensure the temporary roof is in place before stripping begins.
For emergency temporary roof systems in Essex, call us on 07956 491594.

Chimney scaffolding — full detailsScaffolding hire in Essex
We provide scaffolding hire across Essex for domestic and commercial projects. Essex's diverse property market means that hire contracts range from short domestic hire on 1930s semis in Basildon and Brentwood to longer commercial and industrial hire in the port towns of Thurrock and the commercial centres of Chelmsford and Southend-on-Sea. We offer weekly and long-term hire rates and can adjust the hire period to suit your programme.
All scaffolding is erected and inspected by our CISRS-carded scaffolders. We provide scaffold adaptations and extensions during the hire period if the scope of works changes, and we manage highway licence applications where the scaffold requires use of the public pavement.

Highways and pavement licences in Essex
When scaffolding needs to be erected over a public pavement in Essex, a licence from the relevant local authority is required. In Essex, this is typically Essex County Council for county roads, or the relevant district or borough council for roads within their area. Thurrock Council and Southend-on-Sea City Council are unitary authorities and handle their own highway licensing. The licence specifies the dimensions of the scaffold, the lighting and guarding requirements, and the duration of the licence.
We manage all highway licence applications on behalf of our clients across Essex. We prepare the application, liaise with the relevant authority, and ensure the scaffold is erected in compliance with the licence conditions. For projects in town centres or on busy roads, we can also advise on traffic management requirements and liaise with the local authority's highways team.
