Mellor Brook gathers at the foot of Mellor's hill where the old Preston to Blackburn road passes through, which makes it one of the closest villages in this part of the valley to our base, barely 15 to 20 minutes away. Cottages, semis and newer homes all get the same treatment here, a free survey and a fixed TG20:21 compliant quote.

Scaffolding in Mellor Brook — your questions answered
How much does scaffolding cost in Mellor Brook?
As a guide, prices start from around £450 for a single elevation on a typical semi, with most Mellor Brook 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. Main road frontages that need a footpath licence carry the council's £42 per 7 days fee, which we itemise on the quote along with whether VAT is included. The price covers transport, erection, the hire period and dismantling.
Do I need a licence for scaffolding on the pavement or road in Mellor Brook?
Only if the scaffold stands on or oversails the public highway, which includes the footpath outside your property. For the cottages fronting the main road through Mellor Brook that is common, and under Section 169 of the Highways Act 1980 the licence must come from Lancashire County Council before the scaffold goes up. If your scaffold sits entirely on your own garden or drive, no licence is needed. Either way, we sort the paperwork.
Who pays for the scaffolding, me or my builder?
In domestic projects the homeowner usually pays for the scaffold even when the builder or roofer arranges it. If scaffolding is inside a builder's quote, ask for it to be itemised so the duration, any licence fees and the dismantle costs are visible, and check whether VAT is included. We are happy to quote you directly or to work alongside your builder or roofer in Mellor Brook, whichever works best for you.
