Scaffolding in Lightfoot Green

Lightfoot Green used to be a handful of farms and cottages along Lightfoot Lane near junction 1 of the M55, but the new estates spreading between Cottam and Broughton now run right up to it. That mix suits us well, we scaffold weathered farmhouse roofs one week and brand new builds for solar panels the next, all within fifteen minutes of our base.

Lightfoot Green work comes in two flavours. The older farmhouses and cottages along Lightfoot Lane bring roof repairs, chimney stacks and repointing, planned with care around older walls and farm access. The new build streets that have grown up around the hamlet as part of north west Preston's expansion bring solar panel scaffolds, snagging platforms and loft conversion jobs, where the priorities are protecting block paved drives and working around tight plot boundaries. Guide prices start from around £450 for a single elevation, typically £600 to £900, with full two storey scaffolds typically £850 to £1,200 and solar scaffolds from £300, typically £600 to £1,200. Every quote states whether VAT is included and covers transport, erection, the hire period and dismantling.

We are 10 to 15 minutes away, and with drives and gardens on nearly every property, scaffolds sit on private land and highway licences rarely apply. Everything is erected to TG20:21 by CISRS carded scaffolders and inspected at least every 7 days, with Preston City Council the planning authority for underlying works. From here we also cover Cottam, Broughton and Ingol, all a few minutes along the lane.

Scaffolding in Lightfoot Green — your questions answered

How much does scaffolding cost in Lightfoot Green?

As a guide, prices start from around £450 for a single elevation, with most jobs between £600 and £900 for one side and £850 to £1,200 for a full two storey scaffold. Solar scaffolds on the newer homes start from £300 and typically run £600 to £1,200, while chimney scaffolds on the older cottages start from around £400. We price after a free survey, quotes state whether VAT is included, and the price covers transport, erection, the hire period and dismantling.

Do you actually cover Lightfoot Green? You are based in Preston.

Yes, Lightfoot Green is 10 to 15 minutes from our base, close to junction 1 of the M55, so it could hardly be better placed for us. That means surveys within a day, quick returns if your roofer needs the scaffold adapting, and a prompt strike once the work finishes. We also cover the areas either side, including Cottam, Broughton and Ingol, so we are along Lightfoot Lane regularly.

Is your scaffolding TG20 compliant?

Yes. All our standard tube and fitting scaffolds are erected to TG20:21, the NASC guidance recognised by the HSE, whether the job is a farmhouse roof on the old lane or a solar install on one of the new builds, and we can produce a TG20 compliance sheet for your configuration. Anything outside TG20 scope, temporary roofs or unusual loadings for example, gets a bespoke design by a competent designer.
