Scaffolding in Deepdale
Deepdale is best known for the football ground, but for us it is a neighbourhood of solid Victorian terraces radiating out from the stadium, about ten minutes from our base. Ageing chimney stacks, slate roofs and pavement frontages make it classic Preston scaffolding territory, with the added local wrinkle of planning deliveries around match days.

No obligation. We usually reply the same day.
Most frontages here meet the pavement, so Lancashire County Council highway licences are a routine part of the job, at £42 per 7 days with at least two working days notice and a £5 million public liability minimum, which we hold and evidence. Rear alleys usually carry the materials. One genuinely local consideration is the football calendar, since on home match days the surrounding streets fill early, so we schedule deliveries, erections and strikes away from fixtures whenever we can.
Once a scaffold is up it is inspected by a competent person before first use, then at intervals not exceeding 7 days and after any storm or alteration, as the Work at Height Regulations 2005 require, and being ten minutes away makes those inspections easy to keep on top of. We also cover the neighbouring streets of Moor Park, Ribbleton, St Matthew's and Holme Slack.

Scaffolding in Deepdale — your questions answered
How much does scaffolding cost in Deepdale?
Prices start from around £450 for a single elevation, with most Deepdale terrace jobs between £600 and £900 for one side and £850 to £1,200 for a full two storey scaffold. Chimney scaffolds start from around £400. The common local extra is the pavement licence at £42 per 7 days, since the terraces front the footpath directly. Every job is priced after a free survey, the quote states whether VAT is included, and the price covers transport, erection, the hire period and dismantling.
How much does a chimney scaffold cost in Deepdale?
Chimney scaffolds on Deepdale's two storey terraces typically start from around £400, boarded out at gutter level or saddled over the ridge. The stacks on these Victorian rows are original, so repointing, flaunching and pot replacement are regular jobs. Chimney scaffolds usually stay up only 1 to 2 weeks, and we quote the weekly extension rate up front in case the sweep of the repair grows once the roofer gets a close look.
Do I need a licence for scaffolding on the pavement in Deepdale?
Only where the scaffold stands on or oversails the public highway, which on Deepdale's terraced streets it usually does. The licence comes from Lancashire County Council under Section 169 of the Highways Act 1980 at £42 per 7 days, with at least two working days notice, and we make the application for you with our insurance evidence. If the scaffold can sit wholly in a back yard reached from the alley, no licence is needed, and we will design it that way when the job allows.
How often is the scaffold checked once it is up, and what paperwork do I get?
Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 a competent person inspects the scaffold before first use, then at intervals not exceeding 7 days, and after any alteration, damage or event likely to affect stability such as storms. Reports stay on site during the work and are retained for three months after completion. At handover you receive a scaffold handover certificate recording the specification, load class, permitted use and tie details, plus a TG20:21 compliance sheet where applicable, and you will see the Scafftag on the scaffold itself.
