Service type: Scaffold for decorating works and guttering access.
Address: Tarrant Street, Arundel, West Sussex, BN18.
Customer needs: We were contacted by this customer who required scaffolding to be erected on 3 buildings in Tarrant Street, Arundel, to provide safe access for external decoration works and gutter access. Two of the properties were 2 storeys high, and the other was 3 storeys. We quoted £850 for a 4-week scaffold rental period. We specialise in painters’ scaffolds for safe external decorating, high-level painting, gutter access, and facade work, providing efficient platforms with multiple lifts and full edge protection as used here in Arundel.
Difficulties we faced: This scaffold was to be erected on a small public pathway, so a pavement licence was required. There was no parking for our larger lorries on this small road, so our scaffolders used a smaller truck for this job. Additional safety procedures were put in place due to this structure being placed on a public pathway.
What we did: Our scaffolders erected a structure to the front of these 3 buildings that measured approximately 16.0 metres in length and 4.0 metres high, with 2 scaffold lifts. The working platform was placed along the base of the 2nd-floor windows to give safe access for decoration and guttering purposes. Our team also installed a 5.0-metre long table lift that was 6.5 metres high from ground level to reach the 3rd floor of the end property for decoration and gutter access.
Other information
Hire period: We supplied our customer with a 4-week hire period, which was the same duration as the pavement licence. Our customer completed all decoration works within this period.
