Question 7

Do you provide scaffolding for both domestic and commercial customers in Canterbury?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide scaffolding for domestic customers (homeowners, landlords and private individuals), commercial customers (businesses, property managers, facilities managers and housing associations), and contractors of all sizes (roofers, bricklayers, builders and main contractors) in Canterbury. We hold Constructionline Gold membership and SSIP accreditation through Achilles, which means we are pre-qualified for most commercial and public sector supply chains.

Question 8

Do you need a highway licence for scaffolding in Canterbury?

Accepted Answer

A highway licence is required when scaffolding extends over or onto the public highway — the pavement, road or verge. For properties in Canterbury with a front garden or driveway, the scaffold can usually be erected within the property boundary and a highway licence is not required. For properties close to the pavement, a licence may be needed from Kent County Council or the relevant highway authority. We will advise at the survey stage whether a licence is needed and can apply for it on your behalf.

Question 9

How long does scaffolding typically stay up in Canterbury?

Accepted Answer

The hire period depends on the nature of the works. For a straightforward roof repair or chimney repoint in Canterbury, the scaffold may only be needed for one to two weeks. For a full re-roof or loft conversion, the hire period is typically two to four weeks. For larger projects such as external wall insulation or a full render, the scaffold may be in place for four to eight weeks. We agree the hire period with you at the time of quotation and can extend it if the works take longer than anticipated.

Question 10

How far is Canterbury from your base?

Accepted Answer

We are based in Hextable, Swanley, which gives us direct access to the M25 and M20. Canterbury is within our regular working area, and we cover Whitstable, Herne Bay, Faversham and the East Kent villages as well as the whole of Kent and South East London. Our over 34 years of scaffolding industry experience in the region means we are familiar with the local building stock, access conditions and any area-specific requirements. Call us on 07956 491594 to discuss your project.
