How much does it cost to hire scaffolding near me?

Prices can differ hugely depending on what you need, your house size, and where you are in the country.

For instance, do you need standard scaffolding or something more specific, like a tower or stair scaffold, for guttering work? And how many levels do you need?

But as a general guide, here’s a rundown of some key costs:

• Hiring scaffolding for a two-storey semi-detached house costs around £875 per week

• Scaffolding for an average-sized terraced house is about £310 per week

• A scaffold tower hire costs approximately £250 per week

Current UK law states that tradespeople must use scaffolding (or other suitable platforms) to gain access when working at height.

Questions to ask scaffolding hire companies near you

Finding scaffolding hire companies near you is the first step. But how do you decide which company to choose?

Here are some suggested questions to ask your tradesperson and help make the hiring process easier:

1. Will you apply for a scaffolding permit?

In the UK, all scaffolding projects require a permit before erecting any scaffolding.

Scaffolding companies should obtain the permit on your behalf. However, it’s your responsibility to check that they have done so and that it doesn’t run out before the project is completed.

2. Do you have insurance?

Any scaffolding company you hire should have valid public liability insurance as standard.

That's why all the Checkatrade members in our directory have up-to-date public liability insurance for your added peace of mind.

3. Are you registered with the NASC?

Ask if the company you plan to hire scaffolding from is certified by the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC).
