What affects the price of scaffold hire
Every scaffold is priced on the job rather than a flat rate. These are the things that move the number up or down.
- Height and number of lifts. A single storey rear elevation costs less than a three storey front.
- How much of the building you need to reach. One elevation, a wrap around, or full access to all four sides.
- Ground and access. Sloping gardens, soft ground, narrow side returns and restricted parking all add time.
- Hire period. Longer jobs and phased builds carry a longer hire.
- Extras. Debris netting, sheeting, loading bays, temporary roofing, staircases and the highways licence where the scaffold stands on a public footpath or road.

Straight answers
Scaffold hire questions we get asked
How much does scaffold hire cost?
There is no flat rate, because the price follows the building. Height, how many elevations you need to reach, ground conditions, the hire period and extras such as sheeting, a loading bay or a temporary roof all move the figure. The quickest way to get a real number is a free site visit, and you get the price in writing before you commit.
How long can I keep the scaffolding?
As long as the job needs. Hire periods run from a few days for a repair to several months on a build, and we can extend the hire if the work runs on. Tell us at the site visit if the programme is uncertain and we will set the hire period accordingly.
How quickly can you get scaffolding up?
It depends on how the diary looks and how big the job is, so call 01223 411 377 with your postcode and the work you are planning and we will tell you the next realistic start date. Most domestic scaffolds are erected in a day.
Do I need a licence for scaffolding on the pavement or road?
Yes. If any part of the scaffold stands on a public footpath, road or verge, the highway authority requires a licence before it goes up. In Cambridgeshire we arrange the county council permit on your behalf as part of the job, so you do not deal with the paperwork. Scaffolding that stays inside your own boundary usually needs no permit.
Is the scaffolding inspected while it is up?
Yes. Scaffolding in use is inspected regularly and after anything that could affect it, such as high winds or an alteration. We build to TG20:21 and SG4:22 standards and carry out inspections while the scaffold is on hire.
Do you hire to builders and trades as well as homeowners?
Both. We work directly with homeowners, and with roofing contractors, builders, developers and site managers who need reliable access on a programme. Tell us which you are when you call and we will quote it accordingly.
Which areas do you cover for scaffold hire?
We are based in Cambridge and cover Cambridgeshire and the wider East Anglia region, including Ely, Huntingdon, St Ives, St Neots, Peterborough, Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Royston and Saffron Walden. Call 01223 411 377 to check your postcode.
