Scaffolding for home extension work

What do we scaffold in Wallingford?

Wallingford is a historic Thames market town. The centre around the Market Place, High Street and castle grounds is full of old and listed buildings, while the outskirts are mostly post-war and modern family homes. 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 Wallingford?

Most house scaffolding in Wallingford 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 jobWhat is scaffoldedGuide price
One side of a houseFront or rear elevation£400 to £700 total
Two-storey terraced houseFront and back£700 to £900 a month
Two-storey semi-detachedThree sides£850 to £1,200 a month
Two-storey detachedAll four sides£1,000 to £1,500 a month
Chimney scaffoldEaves plus stack platformFrom £250
Loft conversionRoof access, often two or three sides£1,000 to £2,000 or more
Scaffold towerHire for low, short jobsFrom £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 Wallingford's historic centre and riverside

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

  • Listed buildings in the town centre. Around the Market Place, High Street, St Mary’s Street and the castle area, many buildings are listed and in a conservation area. We use ground-tied or buttressed scaffolds and soft protection so old fabric is not drilled or marked.
  • Riverside and soft ground. Near the Thames and Wallingford Bridge the ground can be soft or wet. We use sole boards and base plates sized for the ground so the scaffold stays level and safe.
  • Narrow streets and parking. Tight streets in the centre often mean the scaffold stands on the pavement under licence, with a protected walkway for pedestrians.
  • Estate and village homes. On the estates and in villages like Cholsey and Benson, most jobs are roof repairs, extensions, loft conversions and painting with quick erection.

How scaffold hire works in Wallingford

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