Scaffolding in Walmer Bridge
Walmer Bridge sits on the old Liverpool road just south of Longton, about fifteen minutes from our Preston yard via the A59. Its older cottages front straight onto the pavement while small modern closes sit behind, and we scaffold both, TG20:21 compliant, licences handled and every quote free.

No obligation. We usually reply the same day.
We are about fifteen minutes away down the A59, so surveys within 24 hours are usually no problem and licensed jobs are scheduled so the notice period never delays your trades. South Ribble Borough Council is the planning authority for any underlying building work. From Walmer Bridge we also cover Longton, Much Hoole and Little Hoole, all within a couple of minutes of the village, so we can be flexible on dates.

Scaffolding in Walmer Bridge — your questions answered
How much does scaffolding cost in Walmer Bridge?
Prices start from around £450 for a single elevation, with most Walmer Bridge jobs between £600 and £900 for one side and £850 to £1,200 for a full two storey scaffold. On the cottages fronting the old Liverpool road a pavement scaffold adds the council licence fee, which we always itemise. Chimney scaffolds start from around £400. Every job is priced individually after a free survey, quotes state whether VAT is included, and the price covers transport, erection, the hire period and dismantling.
Do I need a licence for scaffolding on the pavement or road in Walmer Bridge?
Only if the scaffold stands on or oversails the public highway, which includes the footpath. On Walmer Bridge's older frontages, where cottages meet the pavement directly, licences are commonly needed. Under Section 169 of the Highways Act 1980 the licence comes from Lancashire County Council and must be in place before erection, and we make the application for you as part of the job. If the scaffold sits wholly on your own land, no licence is required.
How quickly can you get scaffolding up in Walmer Bridge?
We are about fifteen minutes from Walmer Bridge, so we can usually survey within 24 hours. Most domestic scaffolds go up in 2 to 8 hours, a typical two storey home taking around 3 to 5 hours on site, timings we confirm at survey. Where the scaffold needs a highway licence the two working days minimum notice is the main schedule driver, and we build it into the plan so your roofer or builder is not kept waiting.
