Customer needs

The customer needed scaffolding around 4 sides of this large 2/3 storey property to paint all upper-floor windows and the apexes. The scaffolding was approximately 180 linear metres with various returns and table lifts. We included a 4-week hire period in our price.

Obstacles and challenges we needed to resolve

We faced no problems erecting this structure as access to all sides of the building was pretty straightforward.

What we accomplished

Our scaffolders erected the following framework to provide safe access to 4 apex roof sections and dormer windows on various parts of the house.

We erected 2 scaffold lifts around most of the property’s perimeter.

Front: This elevation has several windows our customer needed to access at the very top. Our experienced Godalming scaffolders erected two scaffold platforms, both fully boarded with double handrails.

We then erected two table lifts to access another window and the apex.

The left-hand side of the front of the building also returned slightly and required 2 scaffold lifts, plus a table lift to access another dormer window on the roof. This table lift was built by extending 8ft transoms as the roof steps in.

Sides: Both sides of this building were 2 lifts high and had hop-up lifts installed to reach the top of the gable ends. The right side of the property was a straight return from the front. The left-hand side hop-up was again erected using 8ft tubes as transoms, extending into the roof.

Back: The back was a straight run with two lifts on the right-hand side. To the left was another apex roof with an additional setback dormer window. A large bay window sat below the apex, so we installed an 8.0-metre beam section above the 1st-floor windows. We again used 8ft transoms to throw into the roof area and create a small table lift to gain further access to the setback dormer.

Other information

  • In total, we installed 6 table lifts on this structure.
  • Ladder gates were installed throughout.
  • Each working platform was 5-6 scaffold planks wide.
  • All scaffolding platforms were installed with guard rails and fall protection.

Length of hire

A 4-week rental period was supplied to complete the painting works.
