Town centre scaffolding for roof and rendering works on a 3-storey building on the high street in Esher.

Project type 

Rending and roofing works.

Site location

58b High Street, Esher, Surrey, KT10.

Customer needs

We were approached by a customer who needed scaffolding on 2 sides of a 3-storey shopfront in Esher, as they wanted to undertake rendering and roof repairs to the building. We quoted our client £1150 plus £168 for the council’s pavement licence fee, which covered 4 weeks, matching the scaffolding rental period.

Obstacles and challenges we needed to resolve

This was a high street job, so our Surrey scaffolding erectors took extra precautions while erecting and dismantling the scaffold in a public area. We installed additional safety measures on the scaffolding to keep passers-by safe.

What we accomplished

We were required to erect scaffolding to the front and side elevations of this shop, measuring 8m along the front and 7m along the side. Both sides were roughly 8.0 metres high to reach the roofline, so we erected 4 scaffolding lifts.

The scaffolding at the front of the shop was for roof access only. We installed high-visibility foam at the bottom of the upright tubes, and placed the base plates on plastic tredda plates. The first lift and top fourth lift were fully boarded and double handrailed with toe boards. The top working platform also had debris netting installed around the perimeter to help prevent anything falling from height and potentially injuring a pedestrian.

The scaffolding on the side of this building was needed for rendering works and access to the roof, so each scaffold lift was fully boarded 6 boards wide, with safety guardrails and kicker boards around the platforms. Full ladder access was provided throughout, and a small section of beam work was installed on the base lift to avoid any standards (upright tubes) being placed in the way of the drop kerb, which we were required to keep clear. The top working lift also had debris netting around the perimeter. We installed foam around the bottom sections of the standards to protect the public.

At the very top of this side section, access was also required to reach the apex of the roof, so we installed a 2.4m long table lift for safe access.

Scaffolding for property repairs in Esher

This project shows the access platforms we erect for external building maintenance, repointing, and roofing work on local properties. Our scaffolding services in Esher include scaffold erection for roof access, brickwork repairs, painting, window maintenance and other domestic or commercial work at height.

Length of hire

This scaffold was rented to our customer for a total of 4 weeks, which was when the pavement permit was due to expire. They completed all their work within the 4 weeks.

Another high street roof access project

We have also erected access scaffolding on other high street buildings where contractors needed working platforms around upper elevations and roof areas. See our scaffold for roof and window access on Guildford High Street, where our scaffolders provided access to the windows and roof across the front, rear and side of a three-storey property.
