Domestic scaffolding is used on residential properties. If you’re hiring a scaffolder for work on a single home or small building, this is generally the category you’ll fall into. Typical uses include roof repairs, chimney repointing, painting, window replacements, and extensions.
Most homeowners find that standard scaffold hire provides the platform they need. However, more complex homes may require specialised access scaffolding, especially when height, angles, or restricted areas are involved.
While domestic projects are usually straightforward, large homes or multi-storey properties may instead benefit from commercial scaffolding. This is especially true if you’re embarking on a large-scale project that requires additional structural support or repairing storm damage that may require emergency scaffolding.
Our fully trained scaffolders will assess your site and determine whether standard house scaffolding is sufficient or if other elements should be incorporated. Bracknell homes with limited access points or multiple elevations may require a combination of the two.
If your scaffolding will extend over a footpath or public area, you’ll need to apply for a pavement license. Our team can help organise this and ensure compliance with all local regulations.
If your project requires materials or tools to be regularly moved between levels, we suggest incorporating a loading bay into the scaffold design. This helps maintain efficiency and everyone's safety on-site.
Before choosing a scaffold hire company, we recommend checking the company’s credentials. Reliable scaffolders, such as ourselves, will complete a comprehensive site survey to mitigate risks and provide you with their insurance details and safety documentation. They should also explain the type of access scaffolding needed and whether commercial scaffolding is better suited to your project.

By choosing our experts to plan, install, and remove your scaffolding, you can rest assured that your build will run safely and efficiently. Our comprehensive services include:
