Scaffolding is priced by elevations, height and hire duration.

What changes the price
- Number of storeys

- Access for delivery
- Narrow alleys, no parking and rear-garden-only access add labour.
- Hire duration

Common questions
How long can I keep the scaffold?
Quotes usually include an initial hire period, then charge weekly. Confirm both before you book the trade above.

Only if the scaffold stands on public land such as a pavement or road. Your scaffolder normally arranges it.
Can scaffolding go up in a back garden only?
Yes, though hand-carrying material through the house or a narrow alley adds labour.
