Scaffolding in St Matthew's

St Matthew's is one of the most densely terraced quarters of east Preston, sitting between the city centre and the New Hall Lane corridor just minutes from our base. Long Victorian rows, rear alleys and pavements that carry plenty of foot traffic make this a neighbourhood where the licence paperwork and pedestrian protection matter as much as the tubes and boards.

Nearly everything we scaffold in St Matthew's is a Victorian terrace, so the job list is consistent, chimney scaffolds on century old stacks, re-roofs, gutter and fascia renewal, repointing and bay window repairs. Frontages meet the footpath directly on almost every street, which means Lancashire County Council highway licences are close to standard here, at £42 per 7 days with at least two working days notice and £5 million public liability insurance, which we hold. We fit lit, padded pedestrian routes beneath pavement scaffolds and use the rear alleys for materials wherever that keeps the front tidier.

A lot of the housing is rented, so we regularly work for landlords who need quick surveys, clear quotes and firm dates, and being minutes away we can usually survey within 24 hours with most elevations erected inside a morning. Our teams hold CISRS cards appropriate to the work, and every standard scaffold goes up to TG20:21. We also cover the neighbouring streets of New Hall Lane, Deepdale and Fishwick.

Scaffolding in St Matthew's — your questions answered

How much does scaffolding cost in St Matthew's?

Guide prices start from around £450 for a single elevation, with most jobs between £600 and £900 for one side of a terrace and £850 to £1,200 for a full two storey scaffold. Chimney scaffolds start from around £400. Because St Matthew's terraces front the pavement, a £42 per 7 days council licence is the common local extra and we always itemise it. Prices follow a free survey, confirm whether VAT is included, and cover transport, erection, the hire period and dismantling.

Do I need a licence for scaffolding on the pavement in St Matthew's?

Almost certainly yes if the scaffold fronts the street, since the terraces here open straight onto the footpath and any scaffold standing on or oversailing the highway needs a Lancashire County Council licence under Section 169 of the Highways Act 1980. The council charges £42 per 7 days and asks for at least two working days notice, and we make the application with our insurance evidence as part of the job. Scaffolds standing wholly in a back yard need no licence.

Are your scaffolders qualified? What is a CISRS card?

CISRS, the Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme, is the industry standard competence card recognised by the HSE, running from Labourer through to Advanced Scaffolder and backed by training courses and NVQs. Our teams hold cards appropriate to the work, and any card can be verified through the NOCN checker at cardchecker.nocn.org, with newer smart cards readable by an NFC phone tap. Landlords commissioning work in St Matthew's are welcome to check ours before we start.
