FAQs
Do I need a pavement licence?+
If your scaffolding overhangs or sits on the public footway, your council will require a licence. We arrange this for you with the relevant London borough as part of the quote.
How long does scaffolding take to put up on a typical house?+
Most domestic lifts on a London terrace take half a day to a full day. Larger detached or semi-detached homes can take 1-2 days.
How much does residential scaffolding cost in London?+
Pricing depends on height, length and how long you need it. Most domestic jobs across London fall between £600 and £2,500. We'll always give you a fixed price up front.
Are you insured?+
Yes — HB Scaffolding carries full public liability and employers' liability insurance, and every lift is built to TG20:13 standards.
