Scaffolding for Bricklayers in Kent & South East London

How We Work With Bricklaying Contractors

1. 1

   Site Assessment & Design

   We visit the site before erection to assess the structure, ground conditions, access constraints and the build programme. For new builds and extensions we discuss lift heights, loading bay positions and any temporary roof or weather protection requirements at this stage.

2. 2

   Quotation

   We provide a clear, itemised quotation covering erection, the hire period, any planned adaptations and dismantling. Trade accounts are available for contractors with regular requirements across multiple sites.

3. 3

   Erection

   Our CISRS-qualified scaffolders erect to TG20 or bespoke design as required. We work around your programme and aim to be on site when you need us, not when it suits us.

4. 4

   Adaptation During the Build

   As the brickwork rises we adapt the scaffold — raising platforms, repositioning loading bays, adding or removing lifts. You call us when you need a change; we turn it around quickly.

5. 5

   Dismantling & Clearance

   Once the brickwork is complete and signed off we dismantle and remove the scaffold cleanly, leaving the site clear for the next trade.

Safety, Compliance & Accreditation

All our scaffolding is erected to TG20 compliance or bespoke design where required. We carry full public liability and employers liability insurance, and our scaffolders hold current CISRS cards. We are Constructionline Gold registered and SSIP accredited through Achilles, which means we meet the pre-qualification requirements of most principal contractors and developers without additional paperwork.

• CISRS-qualified scaffolders on every erection
• SSIP accredited
• Constructionline Gold registered
• Full public liability and employers liability — £10m

• Weekly scaffold inspections available
• RAMS provided for all commercial and multi-trade sites

Scaffolding for Bricklayers — Pricing Factors

• Height of the brickwork — taller structures require more scaffold lifts and more materials
• Number of elevations — the number of faces of the building that need to be scaffolded
• Duration of the hire — bricklaying projects often require the scaffold for several weeks or months
• Loading bay requirements — where bricks, blocks and mortar need to be delivered to height
• Adaptation as the brickwork rises — scaffolds that need to be raised in stages as the work progresses
• Access to the site — restricted access or confined working space increases erection time
• Highway licence requirements — where the scaffold needs to go over a pavement or road
• New-build vs refurbishment — new-build scaffolds are typically larger and more complex
• Location within Kent or South East London — travel and logistics are factored into the quotation

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance do I need to book scaffolding for a bricklaying job?

For planned bricklaying projects we recommend contacting us two to four weeks before the planned start date. This allows time for site survey, design and programme agreement. For urgent requirements we will always try to accommodate shorter lead times.

Can you adapt the scaffold as the brickwork rises?

Yes. We can raise the scaffold in stages as the brickwork progresses, ensuring the working platform is always at the correct height. We agree the adaptation programme with you before the job starts and carry out the lifts at times that minimise disruption to the bricklaying programme.

Do you provide loading bays for brick deliveries?

Yes. We can incorporate loading bays into the scaffold design to allow bricks, blocks, mortar and other materials to be delivered directly to the working platform. Loading bays are particularly useful on taller structures where carrying materials up by hand would be impractical.

What is TG20 compliance and why does it matter?

TG20 is the industry guidance document for tube-and-fitting scaffolding published by the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC). TG20 compliance means the scaffold has been designed and erected in accordance with this guidance, which sets out the requirements for safe scaffold design, materials and erection. We provide TG20 compliance sheets for all standard scaffold designs.

Do you offer trade accounts for bricklaying contractors?

Yes. We work with bricklaying contractors across Kent and South East London on a regular basis. If you are a bricklaying contractor looking for a reliable scaffolding partner, contact us to discuss trade pricing and availability.

Are you accredited to work on principal contractor sites?

Yes. We hold Constructionline Gold accreditation and are pre-qualified for principal contractor supply chains. We can provide method statements, risk assessments and scaffold handover certificates as required.

Can you provide scaffolding for a new-build house?

Yes. We provide scaffolding for new-build houses and residential developments across Kent and South East London. New-build scaffolding typically requires a full perimeter scaffold with loading bays and multiple lifts as the structure rises. We work with builders, developers and principal contractors on new-build projects of all sizes.

Do you provide scaffolding for extension brickwork?

Yes. Single-storey and two-storey extensions are one of the most common bricklaying jobs we scaffold. We design the scaffold to give the bricklayer safe, unrestricted access to all faces of the extension, including the junction with the existing building.

How much does scaffolding for bricklaying cost?

The cost depends on the height of the brickwork, the number of elevations, the duration of the hire and the access requirements. We provide free site surveys and detailed written quotations. Contact us to discuss your project.
