Scaffolding costs

[manhill]

Trying to get a rough idea of charges for supply erection and rent of scaffolding in Kent area.
How is it estimated?

Thanks.

Personally I'd measure the building/area. Then consider carefully what you are going to use it for ie, load bearing, how many lifts, which are about 1.8 m high & how long you will need it. Then ask three scaffolding contractors to visit & provide you with a price. If this is for any contractors you will have to have a SCAFF-TAG and on no account alter the structure else the ticket will become instantly invalid along with any PL insurance you may have in place. After a month there will be a hire charge which can possible be negotiated depending on the length of time this is up for.
Other option is to buy your own tube, boards & clips & pay a self employed ticketed scaffolder to errect, supply scaff-tag & dismantle when finished with, then sell on....
Hope this helps.

This sounds like an ideal situation to me.

Depends on who you know, how good your negotiating skills are, if you need a receipt and if you have cash .

Thanks for the offer. Does that cover Kent? I'm waiting an update from son in law who the scaffold is for.

Do you still need this? The scaffold on my daughters house and another in the same location is coming down so the scaffolder may be looking to relocate if he doesn't already have somewhere for it. Where are you in Kent?

I've just phoned my daughter who needed it but we're a bit late, she's got something sorted out already.

Thanks a lot for the help
