The time it takes to erect scaffolding will vary depending on the amount of scaffolding, the number of scaffolders, access to the site, and weather conditions.

As a guide, here are some estimated average time frames for scaffolding installations:

• Small, simple projects (e.g., single-story extension) – 2-4 hours

• Medium-sized projects (e.g., two-story house with limited access) – 8-12 hours

  When researching scaffolders in Kintore, it’s a good idea to ask them how long they estimate it will take to erect the scaffolding for your project.

As a general rule, we don’t recommend using scaffolding for anything other than its original intended purpose.

Misusing scaffolding in any way can void the insurance and can pose serious safety risks.

If you have ideas for alternative uses for the scaffolding, always discuss them with your chosen scaffolder beforehand.

Scaffolding should typically be removed as soon as the work is complete to avoid any unnecessary costs.

If you’re unsure, discuss removal with your scaffolder and they can advise on the best time to remove the scaffolding safely and efficiently.

Scaffolding inspections

Throughout the work, all scaffolding should be inspected weekly to ensure that the structure remains safe and secure.

This is particularly important for long projects, where scaffolding is in place for long periods – as the potential for changes to the integrity of the structure will be greater.

When it comes to scaffolding on your property, you have various responsibilities that include:

• Ensuring the area around your property is clear of obstructions that could cause issues or pose a risk to scaffolders

• Providing safe and unobstructed access to your property and the work area for scaffolding

• Cooperating with your scaffolders to answer relevant questions and provide any necessary information

• Adhering to the agreed payment schedule and making payments on time

  Before hiring local scaffolders, make sure you discuss the details of the project so that everyone is on the same page with regard to needs and expectations.
