Scaffolding in Knowle Green
Knowle Green is a small stone hamlet strung along the B6243 between Longridge and Hurst Green, with Longridge Fell rising behind it. We pass through almost daily on our way east, so scaffolding here is easy to arrange, usually about 25 minutes from our Preston yard. Cottage reroofs, chimney rebuilds and farm work all get the same TG20:21 standard and a free quote.

No obligation. We usually reply the same day.
The village is about 25 minutes from our Preston base and we pass through it constantly on the way to Hurst Green and the Hodder valley, so surveys rarely wait long. Cottages fronting the B6243 sometimes need a licensed pavement scaffold, arranged through Lancashire County Council with at least two working days notice, and we handle that paperwork ourselves. Longridge, Ribchester and Hurst Green are all covered on the same route, which keeps response times short right along this stretch of the valley.

Scaffolding in Knowle Green — your questions answered
How much does scaffolding cost in Knowle Green?
As a guide, prices start from around £450 for a single elevation, with most Knowle Green 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 and full wraps from around £1,500. Cottages fronting the B6243 may need a licensed pavement scaffold, which adds the £42 per 7 days council fee. We price after a free survey, quotes state whether VAT is included, and the price covers transport, erection, the hire period and dismantling.
Do I need planning permission to put scaffolding up at my house in Knowle Green?
No. Scaffolding is a temporary structure and does not need planning permission, even in a conservation setting. Permission questions only arise for the building work the scaffold serves, and a highway licence from Lancashire County Council is needed if the scaffold occupies the footway or road, which can apply to cottages fronting the B6243. If you are unsure about the underlying works, Ribble Valley Borough Council is the planning authority for Knowle Green and we can point you at the right department.
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 event likely to affect stability, which matters on an exposed site like Knowle Green where the wind comes straight off Longridge Fell. Reports stay on site during the work and are kept for three months after completion. At handover you get a certificate recording the specification, load class and permitted use, plus a TG20 compliance sheet where applicable, and you will see the Scafftag on the scaffold itself.
