Scaffolding for extensions
Single-storey and two-storey extensions are one of the most common projects we scaffold for builders across Kent and South East London. The scaffold needs to cover the new structure as it rises, providing safe access for bricklayers, roofers and other trades at each stage of the build. We design the scaffold around the specific property and the build programme, and we adapt it as the work progresses.
For a two-storey extension, the scaffold typically needs to provide access at ground floor level for the bricklayer, at first floor level for the bricklayer and the floor structure, and at roof level for the roofer. We plan the scaffold to allow all of these trades to work safely without repositioning the structure between stages. Where the extension is at the rear of a terraced property with restricted side access, we plan the erection sequence around the available access from the outset.
Scaffolding for loft conversions — full details →Scaffolding for new builds
New build scaffolding requires a different approach from extension or refurbishment work. The scaffold needs to rise with the structure, providing safe access at each lift height as the walls are built. Loading bays are typically required for brick deliveries. The scaffold needs to be adapted as the structure reaches roof level and the roof structure is added.
We work with builders and developers on new build projects of all sizes, from single plots to small residential developments. We understand the sequencing of a new build programme and we plan the scaffold to support the build rather than obstruct it. We can provide scaffolding for the full duration of the build, from the first lift to the final dismantling after the roof is complete.
Commercial scaffolding — full details →Scaffolding for refurbishments
Full property refurbishments often require scaffolding that covers the whole building — all elevations, the roof and any chimney stacks — for an extended period. The scaffold needs to be designed to allow all trades to work simultaneously where the programme requires it, and to be adapted as the work progresses.
We work with builders on refurbishment projects of all scales, from single-property refurbishments to larger programmes involving multiple properties. We understand that refurbishment programmes often change as the work progresses, and we are used to adapting the scaffold arrangement to suit. We agree the hire period at the outset and extend it where needed.
