Scaffolding

"You can't erect houses without scaffolding!!"

• Generally, scaffolding will need to be erected on three sides of the building prior to delivery. Always ensure that your scaffolder is available to complete the fourth side following the delivery of the timber frame.
• Always choose and agree a price with a qualified, recommended scaffolder
• Internal features may also require additional scaffolding, such as vaulted ceilings and galleried hallways
• It is advisable to lay a hardcore strip around the outside of your house in order to provide a firm base for scaffold. A scaffolder is not obliged to erect a scaffold if he considers the ground to be unsuitable. This could cause unnecessary delays
• No one should be allowed on the scaffolding until it is complete and a certificate issued (by the scaffolder)
