How a house scaffold job works

Six steps from the first call to the scaffold coming down, so you know what happens at your place and when.

  1. Free site visit

    We come and look at the house before quoting: height, which elevations need access, ground conditions, driveway access and anything in the way. On weekdays we usually come back to you within 24 hours.

  2. A quote for the whole job

    One price covering the install, the hire period and the dismantle, so you can compare it properly against other quotes and know what the job costs before it starts.

  3. Installed in a day, usually

    Most house scaffolds go up in a day. We book a date that suits your trades, and let you know what we need clear: driveway access, gates open, cars moved.

  4. Tagged and ready to use

    The scaffold is tagged before we leave so your roofer or painter knows it has been checked and is safe to work off. We inspect it through the hire period.

  5. Altered if the job changes

    If the work moves around the house or the programme shifts, call us and we will adjust or extend the scaffold. Never let anyone alter it themselves.

  6. Down when you are done

    Let us know the trades have finished and we will book the dismantle, take the gear away and leave the site tidy. On time every time, or your first week’s rental is free*.

What we scaffold on houses

Most homes need scaffolding for one of five reasons. Whichever yours is, the scaffold is built for the trade that has to work off it. A roofer needs different access from a painter.

Re-roofs and roof repairs

Full perimeter access with edge protection so roofers can work to the edge safely, plus a loading bay for materials where the job needs one. Temporary roofing is available if the house has to stay weathertight while the roof is off.

Exterior painting

A platform along each elevation gives painters steady footing and proper reach into eaves, gables and second-storey walls. That is faster and far safer than ladder work, and it usually pays for itself in the time the painter saves. Smaller jobs may only need a mobile tower.

Recladding and weatherboard repairs

Close-in access along the wall with room to work, staged so the scaffold can be adjusted as the cladding comes off and goes back on.

New builds and extensions

Scaffold that keeps up with the build: installed at the right stage, altered as the framing and roof go on, and dismantled when the last trade is off it. We work directly with homeowners and alongside builders.

Maintenance and smaller jobs

Gutter and fascia replacement, chimney work, window repairs, solar installs and anything else where a ladder is the wrong tool. A mobile scaffold tower is often all a job like this needs.

Residential and domestic hire across Canterbury

We supply residential and domestic scaffolding hire across Christchurch and greater Canterbury, from our yard in Woolston out to Rolleston, Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Lincoln, Ashburton and beyond.

What affects the price

Every house is different, so scaffolding is priced per job, not off a list. Four things move the number more than anything else, and knowing them up front makes it easier to compare quotes.

We quote after a free site visit, and on weekdays we usually come back to you within 24 hours. The quote sets out the hire period and what is included, so there are no surprises when the job finishes.

The four that matter

  1. Height A single-storey job is quicker to build and uses less gear than a two-storey house or a steep site.
  2. How much of the house One elevation for a repair costs less than a full wrap for a re-roof or repaint.
  3. Access and ground Flat, clear ground with driveway access is straightforward. Narrow side paths, decks, slopes and established gardens take longer.
  4. How long it stays up Hire runs for the length of the job, so a three-week repaint and a three-month build price differently.

Working around your home

Scaffolding goes up around the place you live in, not a bare site. Here is what that means on the day, and for the weeks it stays up.

On install day

We need vehicle access and the gates left open. Cars off the driveway, and anything breakable moved back from the walls. Do that and the crew is usually in and out the same day.

Gardens, fences and neighbours

Scaffold often has to sit over a garden or tight against a boundary. We work the layout out on the site visit and talk it through with you. Anything involving a neighbour gets sorted before install day, not on it.

While it is up

Tagged and inspected, and we ask that children and pets stay off it. If something needs shifting as the work moves, ring us. Alterations are our job, and a lot safer than someone having a go themselves.
