Question 1

How many scaffold phases does a new build home need?

Accepted Answer

A typical new build home requires scaffold at three to five phases: brickwork, roof structure, roofing, external finishing and chimney. The exact number of phases depends on the design and construction method. We will plan the scaffold programme with you from the outset.

Question 2

Can you provide scaffold for a self-build project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work regularly with self-builders across Kent and South East London. We understand the programme requirements of self-build projects and can advise on the scaffold phasing.

Question 3

How long does new build scaffolding take to erect?

Accepted Answer

The initial scaffold erection for a new build home typically takes one to two days, depending on the size of the property. Subsequent phases are typically quicker as the scaffold is adapted rather than erected from scratch.

Question 4

Do you work with timber frame new builds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are experienced in scaffolding timber frame new builds. We work with timber frame suppliers and erectors to ensure the scaffold is in place when the frame arrives on site.

Question 5

How much does scaffolding for a new build home cost?

Accepted Answer

New build scaffolding costs depend on the size of the property, the number of phases required and the total duration of hire. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all new build scaffolding projects. Call 07956 491594 or complete the form below.

Question 6

Can you provide scaffolding for a new build that is being constructed in phases?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Phased construction is common on larger new build projects, and we can provide scaffolding for each phase as it reaches the appropriate stage of construction. We work with the site manager to agree the scaffold programme for each phase and to ensure scaffolding is available when needed. We are experienced in working on managed construction sites and can provide the documentation required by the principal contractor.

Question 7

What is the difference between a new build scaffold and a refurbishment scaffold?

Accepted Answer

A new build scaffold is designed to support the construction of a new structure from the ground up, providing access to each floor level as the building rises. It typically needs to carry heavier loads than a refurbishment scaffold, as it needs to support not just the workers but also the materials being lifted and stored on the scaffold. A refurbishment scaffold is designed to provide access to an existing building for repair, maintenance or alteration works, and is typically lighter in construction. We design every scaffold to the appropriate load specification for the work being carried out.

Question 8

Can you provide scaffolding for a new build self-build project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work with self-builders as well as professional developers and contractors. For self-build projects, we provide the same standard of scaffolding, documentation and inspection service as for any other project. We can advise on the scaffold requirements for your specific design and provide a quotation based on the drawings or a site survey. We are happy to work directly with self-builders who are managing their own project without a main contractor.
