Scaffolding fitted on the gable end of a property in Esher for decorating works

Project type 

Scaffolding for painting and decorating.

Site location: Winterdown Road, Esher, Surrey, KT10.

Customer needs: We were asked to provide a quotation for a scaffold to be erected on one side of a 2-storey property on Winterdown Road, Esher. This structure was needed for painting and decoration works. We included a 4-week hire period within our quotation.

Obstacles and challenges we needed to resolve: The space between this house and the neighbouring property was relatively small, so there wasn’t enough room to place the upright tubes on the ground. Our scaffolders bridged over the small lean-to/extension adjoined to the left-hand side of the property so our customer could access the wall above it.

What we Accomplished

• Our scaffolders erected an approximately 16-metre-long structure that was 4 metres high.
• This featured 2 scaffold lifts, with the top lift being a fully boarded working platform.
• To bridge over the lean-to, we used one scaffold lattice beam to add additional support to the framework because the upright tubes would not fit down the side where the small extension was situated.
• The finished working platform was 5 scaffolding boards wide.
• Ladder access was also provided.
• A ladder gate was fixed at the end of the working platform.
• Double handrails were connected around the edge of the top lift.
• Toe boards were also secured to the bottom of this working area to prevent falls and equipment from being knocked over the edge.

Length of hire: This decorator’s scaffold was needed for a rental period of 4 weeks, giving our customer plenty of time to paint the side of the house.

More Domestic Scaffolding Projects

Although we erected this scaffold to provide safe access for exterior painting, we also install specialist access towers for roofing and structural work. See our recent chimney removal scaffold in Baden Road, Guildford, where we constructed a purpose-built tower with a wide working platform and lifting equipment to help our customer safely remove a chimney stack.

Another Local Access Scaffolding Project 

We also provide external access scaffolds for other property maintenance and repair work throughout the local area. See our scaffold for repointing and roof access in the High Street, Esher, where our scaffolders erected working platforms to provide access to the building elevations and roof area while the work was carried out.
