What do we scaffold in Thame?

Thame mixes a long, wide historic High Street lined with timber-framed and Georgian buildings with post-war and modern estates on every side of the town. That means two very different kinds of scaffold, and we plan for both. These are the jobs we do most often:

Roof repairs and re-roofing. A platform at the eaves with guardrails and toe boards. See roof access scaffolding.
Chimney repairs and repointing. A scaffold to the eaves plus a platform around the stack, from £250.
Extensions and loft conversions. Scaffolding that rises with the brickwork, often with a temporary roof while the old roof is open.
Repointing, rendering and brickwork. A full-height scaffold with boards close to the wall, with soft ties on old brick and render.
Windows, fascias, soffits, gutters and solar panels. Usually one or two elevations for a week or two.
Shopfronts and offices. Commercial scaffolding planned around trading hours and pedestrians.
Short, low jobs. A scaffold tower from £30 is often cheaper than a fixed scaffold. We will tell you at the survey if a tower would do.

How much does scaffolding cost in Thame?

Most house scaffolding in Thame costs between £400 and £2,500, depending on the size of the house, how many sides are scaffolded and how long it stays up. These are guide prices for a standard hire period. Your quote is fixed once we have seen the property.

House or job	What is scaffolded	Guide price
One side of a house	Front or rear elevation	£400 to £700 total
Two-storey terraced house	Front and back	£700 to £900 a month
Two-storey semi-detached	Three sides	£850 to £1,200 a month
Two-storey detached	All four sides	£1,000 to £1,500 a month
Chimney scaffold	Eaves plus stack platform	From £250
Loft conversion	Roof access, often two or three sides	£1,000 to £2,000 or more
Scaffold tower	Hire for low, short jobs	From £30

Four things move the price: the height and length of the scaffold, how easy the access is, how long you need it, and whether it stands on the pavement. A pavement licence from Oxfordshire County Council costs £180 for the first week, or £220 on a bus route, and we apply for it on your behalf. Town-centre jobs on East and West St Helen Street, Stert Street and Bath Street usually need a licence; estate houses with a drive rarely do.

Scaffolding for Thame's High Street and conservation area

Every Thame job starts with a free survey, and these are the local conditions we plan for:

Listed High Street frontages. The High Street, Cornmarket and Upper High Street are part of a large conservation area with many listed buildings. We use ground-tied or buttressed designs and soft protection so old brick, render and timber are not drilled or marked.
Shopfronts and market days. Scaffolds in front of shops are planned around trading hours, pedestrian walkways and the weekly market, with fans and netting to keep the pavement safe.
Narrow yards and rear access. Many older properties off the High Street are reached through narrow passages and yards, so we carry tubes and boards in by hand and protect floors and gates.
Estate homes. On the estates around the town, most jobs are roof repairs, extensions, loft conversions and painting on two-storey houses with good access and quick erection.

How scaffold hire works in Thame

Free site survey. We look at the property, the access and the work your trades are doing.
Fixed written quote. One price covering delivery, erection, the agreed hire period and removal.
Pavement licence, if needed. We apply to Oxfordshire County Council, which asks for at least five working days’ notice.
Erection. Most houses in Thame are scaffolded in under a day.
Handover and inspections. The scaffold is checked before first use and at least every 7 days after that.
Removal. Tell us when your trades have finished and we take it down.
