Our domestic scaffolding service covers projects of every size — from a single lift for painting window frames to full wraparound access for a complete re-render. We work closely with roofers, builders, plasterers, and other trades to ensure the scaffold design provides safe, convenient access exactly where it is needed.

Domestic Scaffolding FAQs
How much does domestic scaffolding cost in South Wales?
Domestic scaffolding costs depend on the size of your property, the number of lifts required, access conditions, and hire duration. A single-lift scaffold for a two-storey house typically starts from a few hundred pounds. We provide free, no-obligation quotes — call 07583 030 338 for a personalised price.
Do I need a licence for scaffolding on my house?
If the scaffolding is erected entirely on your own property, no licence is needed. However, if any part of the scaffold extends onto a public footpath or road, you will need a pavement licence from your local council. We can advise on this during the site survey.
How long does it take to erect domestic scaffolding?
Most domestic scaffolding projects can be erected in a single day. Larger or more complex installations may take two days. We schedule erection at a time that suits you and ensure the scaffold is fully inspected and signed off before any trades begin work.
