Pricing

How much does scaffolding cost?

Honest answer: every job is different, so we price each scaffold individually — by eye and by 30 years' experience. Send a couple of photos and you'll have a free written quote, usually the same day.

No two properties are the same, and neither are two scaffolds. Rather than working off a fixed rate card, we look at each job on its own merits — the height, the access, what the trades need the scaffold to do and how long it needs to stay up — and give you one clear fixed price. That price covers transport, erection by qualified scaffolders, a standard hire period, the statutory 7-day inspections and dismantling when you're done.

What shapes the price of your scaffold

  • Height and the number of lifts
  • Access — a tight terraced yard takes longer than an open drive
  • Bridging over conservatories, porches or extensions
  • Debris netting, sheeting or brick guards
  • How long you need the scaffold up
  • Pavement licences where the scaffold stands on the footpath

What's always included

Your fixed price covers delivery, erection by qualified scaffolders, a standard hire period in line with the UK norm of 6 to 8 weeks, the statutory 7-day inspections, and dismantling when you're done. If your project overruns, a weekly extension rate applies — agreed with you up front on the quote, so there are no surprises. Where a pavement licence is needed, we arrange it with Lancashire County Council and itemise it clearly.

Terms & Conditions

Who we are. Preston Scaffolding (NW) Limited, a scaffolding contractor based in Preston, Lancashire.

Quotes. All quotes are free and carry no obligation. Quoted prices state whether VAT is included and cover transport, erection, the agreed hire period and dismantling unless the quote says otherwise. If your project runs past the included hire period, the weekly extension rate shown on your quote applies.

The scaffold. Our scaffolding is erected and dismantled by qualified scaffolders and must not be altered, moved or added to by anyone other than us. Please don't attach banners, sheeting or equipment to the scaffold without asking us first. The scaffold remains our property at all times.

Access and licences. You agree to provide reasonable access to the property for erection, inspections and dismantling. Where the scaffold stands on the public highway we arrange the council licence, and the licence fee is included in or itemised on your quote.

Insurance and safety. We hold public liability insurance and employer's liability insurance, and our scaffolds are erected to TG20:21 guidance with statutory inspections at least every 7 days while the scaffold is in use. Insurance certificates are available on request.

Your enquiry and your details. When you send an enquiry we use your name and contact details only to respond to you about scaffolding work. We don't sell or share your details with anyone else, and we don't send marketing. Ask us at any time and we'll delete your details.

Payment. Payment terms are stated on your quote or invoice. The scaffold may be removed if invoices remain unpaid beyond the agreed terms.
