We specialise in erecting and dismantling scaffolds for domestic, commercial and construction projects in Surrey and London | Free quotations
Our scaffolders work throughout Guildford and the surrounding villages, from the town centre and High Street down through Burpham, Shalford, Onslow Village, and Shamley Green. We’re familiar with the mix of property types across the borough, from the period terraces near the town centre to the newer estates on the outskirts, and with the access challenges that come with Guildford’s hillier streets and narrow town-centre roads.
If your scaffold needs to stand on a public footway or road in Guildford, a highway licence is required before it goes up. For the Guildford area this is handled by Surrey County Council as the highway authority. We handle these applications on your behalf as part of the job, so you don’t have to.
Our scaffolders have the experience and knowledge to put up safe scaffolds for any type of project, including high street works, residential scaffolds, cantilever and putlog structures, temporary roof scaffolding, new build developments and chimney access platforms.
Whatever the job, a single chimney access tower or a full new-build wrap, our Guildford scaffolders erect it safely and to your timescale. Here are the services we’re asked for most.
Whether you're investigating a leak, carrying out repairs, fitting a flue or removing a chimney entirely, we build a framework and working platform that gives full, safe access to the stack. Debris netting and monarflex sheeting can be added to contain dust and debris.
For windows that can't be safely reached by ladder, whether they're being replaced, repaired or painted, we erect the right access towers for domestic, commercial and industrial jobs. Rubbish chutes can be provided where needed.
For new builds and construction projects we offer a progressive scaffolding hire service that keeps pace with your works, for both traditional brickwork and timber-frame structures.
We specialise in erecting, dismantling and the hire of scaffolds for the following:
Every job is priced on access, height and how long you need the scaffold, so the figures below are a rough guide rather than a fixed quote. For an accurate price for your Guildford property, send us a photo of the building and we’ll come back to you.

Most standard scaffolds don’t need a bespoke design — if the structure follows a recognised configuration, it can be erected without one. A design is typically required for non-standard or higher-risk structures, such as:
Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, a scaffold must be designed and approved by a competent person unless it complies with a standard configuration such as NASC TG20. Tube-and-fitting scaffolds outside TG20’s scope, or any modification to a standard design, also require sign-off by a competent person to keep the structure safe at every stage. If your Guildford project needs a designed scaffold, we’ll arrange it as part of the job.
If your scaffold needs to stand on a public pavement or road, a highway licence is required before it can go up. For the Guildford area, this is handled by Surrey County Council as the highway authority. We take care of the application as part of the job so you don’t have to.
We cover the whole of Guildford and the surrounding villages, including the town centre and High Street (GU1), Bramley and Shamley Green (GU5), plus the GU4 area around Bradfield Close, and the outlying GU postcodes. If you’re not sure whether we reach you, just call and ask.
Yes, we regularly work on older and period properties around Guildford, including in the town-centre conservation area. These jobs often need extra care to protect the building and to keep access clear on narrow streets, and we’ll factor that into the plan and quote. If the property is listed, any works you’re carrying out may need consent from Guildford Borough Council in their own right, though the scaffold itself is our responsibility to erect safely
Our scaffolders are fully trained, CITB-qualified and work to current HSE regulations on every job. We’ve erected everything from single access towers to temporary roofs and new-build wraps across Guildford, and we’re happy to provide references from previous customers on request.
