Houses across Derbyshire & Notts
Scaffolding for houses across Ilkeston, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Re-roofs, repointing, rendering, painting, guttering or new windows: Danny prices it on site, puts it up, inspects it while it's standing and takes it down when you're finished.
What it's for
A working platform at the eaves with guard rails, so roofers can strip and re-tile safely.
Access up to the stack for repointing, flaunching, lead work or taking it down.
Lifts across the full face of the wall so the whole elevation can be worked in one go.
Boarded lifts along each side of the house for painters and cladders.
A run along the eaves to replace gutters, fascias and soffits together.
Safe access for fitting first-floor windows and working on bay roofs.
Roof-edge access for installers, usually on one side of the house.
Scaffolding around the roof for the build, with a temporary roof over it if needed.

In every quote
Every domestic quote is a fixed written price for the whole job. Here's what it covers.
The hire period is agreed up front. Need it longer? Ring and we'll extend it.
How it works
Permits and practicalities
A scaffold that stands on a public pavement or road needs a licence from the local highway authority: Derbyshire County Council for Ilkeston, Erewash and Amber Valley, Derby City Council in Derby, Nottinghamshire County Council across the county, and Nottingham City Council in the city. Councils ask for notice, at least two weeks in Derby, so tell us early. We'll say at the quote whether you need one.
If the scaffold needs to stand on a neighbour's land, you'll need their say-so first. Most neighbours are fine once they know what's going up and for how long, and Danny can explain what's involved.
We need to get close to unload. If there's a skip, a van or cars on the drive, mention it when you book so the space is clear on the day.
A scaffold can make upstairs windows easier to reach, so keep them locked while it's up. We take down or lock off the access ladders at the end of each working day.

What people say
Danny came to put scaffolding up on our property so we could treat the Virginia creeper. He was punctual, friendly, and efficient and came out at short notice when we needed help. He completed the job with minimal disruption at a very competitive price. Would highly recommend.

It depends on the height, how many sides need covering, the access and how long you need it. Rather than guess over the phone, Danny comes out, measures up and gives you a fixed written price. The visit and quote are free.
Most houses are up in a day. Bigger detached houses and three-storey jobs can take longer, and Danny will tell you at the visit.
No. Scaffolding doesn't need planning permission. If it stands on a public pavement or road, it needs a licence from the council's highways team instead, and we'll tell you at the quote whether yours does.
You'll need your neighbour's agreement before it goes up. It's worth asking early. Most people are happy once they know how long it'll be there.
Yes. It's handed over with a certificate, then inspected before first use, at least every 7 days, and again after bad weather or any changes. That's what the Health and Safety Executive requires for construction scaffolds.
No. Only a scaffolder should alter a scaffold, because a missing board or rail can make it unsafe for everyone. Ring us and we'll come and change it.
Ring us before the hire period ends and we'll extend it. Nobody's taking a scaffold down while the roofer's still on it.
