If a project necessitates work at height and circumvents the use of ladders to ease safety concerns or issues related to accessibility, we make it our core responsibility to procure the required equipment inside budget constraints.
Scaffolding Hire Costs
It is impossible to be specific on the price of scaffolding hire. Every job will be different to the last. What you will need to consider is how much scaffolding erectors charge per day based on the number of square metres the tower will cover plus any additional costs for accessories and permits. Typically, your scaffolding rental period will span six to eight weeks, but you should find that a scaffolding company will extend shorter leasing durations if needed.
As you can see below, prices can vary significantly but you will also find that standards of service can have an impact on price. It makes better sense to pay a little more to secure the design you need knowing that the scaffolding contractors you have chosen put safety before anything else.
Average costs for scaffolding hire in Brighton, Eastbourne and the surrounding areas usually vary based on the property type:
- Two-storey semi-detached houses – £650 to £1,100
- Two-storey detached houses – £900 to £1,100
- Single-side scaffolding – £300
- 10-metre scaffolding for a first floor – £550 to £700
These are only estimated costs, and not necessarily our own rates. We much prefer to treat every job as unique and to price for it accordingly. If the work of our scaffolders encroaches on a neighbour's boundary, securing consent for this is imperative before assembly. We find it is better to deal with your neighbours early in the process and to continue communicating with them as the job unfolds so that they also feel confident and reassured in our services.
The Factors Shaping Scaffolding Hire Expenses
Numerous factors underpin the variations in scaffolding hire prices. Regional disparities significantly impact final costs, alongside variables such as duration and the elevation requirements. The same job in the North of England, based on regional rates, may cost less than equivalent jobs in Brighton, Eastbourne and the South of England. Prices peak in and around the London area.
These sections highlight the key influences behind scaffolding costs:
Rental Duration – Standard rental times span six to eight weeks with our fixed quotations reflecting this period. Extended project durations may result in some supplementary weekly rental fees, so transparency between the client and company is essential if we want to avoid unwelcome budget surprises.
Additionally, securing scaffolding hire permits from local authorities can incur costs, typically computed monthly. Prolonged rental periods from scaffolding contractors could necessitate several hundreds of pounds in permits.
Elevation Necessities – Scaffold heights correlate with incurred expenses. For instance, scaffolding to access a building's first floor may amount to between £550 to £700, for example, while second-storey access could elevate costs to between £900 and £1,100. Scaffolders generally obtain required permits for placement on your behalf to minimise potential fines or regulatory conflicts.
Walking Level Requirements – Standard scaffolding hire set-ups encompass ladders and handrails so that your scaffold erectors can adapt to confined spaces like narrow alleyways or traversals. Configurations can accommodate multiple levels, each of which contributes to the escalation of expense. The requisite number of levels we build directly influences our overall costings.
A chimney repair might require a single lift and walking level. Larger jobs may demand multiple walkways. Both will impact your weekly rental costs.
Public Access Restrictions – Occasionally, scaffolding must be positioned on public roads or walkways, which mandates a permit from a local authority to increase expenses. Scaffolding contractors oversee permit procurement and verify compliancy before starting work to avoid any potential liabilities.
Again, permit costs tend to be lower in the North of England and Scotland.
Special Requisites – Certain tasks may necessitate specialist arrangements so that work can commence, like providing temporary scaffolding hire over a roof to protect it from the elements or to make conditions safer for other personnel working on sites in Brighton, Eastbourne and the East Sussex area.
Scaffolding over challenging, hard-to-reach areas can further increase costs.
Access Complexity – A simple and straightforward scaffolding hire design will result in a more cost-efficient quotation. Conversely, intricate access work is likely to need us onsite for longer and the design specification will be more complex. The more complex the design, the higher the price tends to be.
Needing to build a tower within a home's interior also amplifies a quote.
Preliminary Due Diligence – Accurately understanding scaffolding hire costs entails an intricate interplay of variables. Don’t just opt for the first scaffolding company you find on Google or in a local newspaper. The best way to find a reputable company of scaffolding erectors is through word-of-mouth referrals and this is how Infinity Scaffolding Solutions has earned its local reputation.
