Frequently Asked Questions

Professional scaffolding is far safer and more stable than ladders, especially for extended or high-level work in Lancing. Ladders risk falls, instability on uneven ground, and limited reach, while scaffolding provides wide platforms, guardrails, toe boards, and secure tie-ins per HSE guidelines.

Benefits for Lancing homes and shops include: better access for window work, rendering, painting, or splayed setups; reduced fatigue; and insurance compliance. Our experienced local team, with 40+ years of experience, quickly erects safe, specialist scaffolds.

There is no legal maximum time for scaffolding to remain erected in the UK, as long as it’s safe, regularly inspected (every 7 days minimum, plus after bad weather), and compliant with HSE/NASC standards.

In Lancing, we agree on a flexible hire period upfront (e.g., weeks or months for rendering, window access, or shop projects), with the option to extend. Our team handles weekly inspections, adjustments, and dismantling on the day you requested, and we are fully insured for peace of mind

We specialise in the professional hire, erection, and dismantling of scaffolding for Lancing projects; however, you can also purchase high-quality scaffolding supplies from us, including steel scaffold poles for building frames and structures, galvanised scaffold fittings for secure tube connections, and BS 2482 scaffolding boards that form safe working platforms.

Yes, professional scaffolding is designed for use in various weather, including Lancing’s coastal conditions (wind, rain). We incorporate wind-bracing, secure ties, debris netting, and protective sheeting where needed, following TG20:21 and HSE guidelines for stability.

Work may pause during severe storms for safety, but structures remain secure with regular inspections. Our experienced team assesses site-specific risks during the free visit. For reliable weather-resilient access in Lancing, trust our fully insured service.

  1. Choosing Based on Price Alone: The cheapest quote often means outdated equipment, untrained staff, poor safety practices, or no insurance – leading to risks, delays, or legal issues. Avoid it: Compare value, not just cost. Verify accreditations (e.g., CHAS, Constructionline, CITB), CISRS cards for scaffolders, and public liability insurance.
  2. Skipping Accreditation Checks: Unqualified providers can cause safety breaches, fines, delays, or rejected insurance claims. Avoid it: Always request proof of qualifications, industry memberships, and compliance certifications before hiring.
  3. Not Clarifying Full Services: Assuming “scaffolding hire” covers everything can leave out design, installation, inspections, maintenance, or extras, resulting in surprises and added costs. Avoid it: Demand a detailed quote breakdown including erection, safety checks, dismantling, and any potential fees.
  4. Ignoring Site-Specific Needs: Generic setups fail on uneven ground, in tight access areas, with overhead cables, or on unique buildings (e.g., historic or commercial), creating hazards or inefficiencies. Avoid it: Insist on a site survey to tailor the scaffold design to your location’s challenges.
  5. Overlooking Health & Safety Duties: Under UK law (e.g., the Working at Height Regulations 2005), both parties share responsibility; ignoring them risks accidents, HSE action, or liability. Avoid it: Choose contractors who follow standards: routine inspections, CSCS cards, trained teams, and clear sign-off before use.

 

Hiring scaffolding is about safety and reliability, not just platforms. Pick an experienced, accredited provider with transparent processes to keep your project safe and on track. For a free site visit and quote, contact a trusted local Lancing scaffolder.

TG20:21 provides safe, compliant guidelines for tube-and-fitting scaffolds in the UK. These structures offer temporary access at height for construction, maintenance, and more in Lancing and beyond. Non-TG20 types (e.g., system scaffolds such as Cuplock/Layher, stair towers, gantries, and temporary roofs) often require custom designs.

  1. Independent Scaffolding: Two parallel rows of standards tied to the building. Uses: Façade access for building and maintenance work. Advantages: Highly versatile; supports loads up to 3.0kN/m² (light to heavy duty). The most common type is with full bracing and guardrails.
  2. Loading Bays: Heavy-duty bays for material storage. Uses: Lifting/storing pallets or heavy loads. Advantages: Handles up to 10.0kN/m² with beams or 15kN pallets without. Options with steel/aluminium beams or board-bearing transoms; requires bracing.
  3. Ladder Access Towers: Integrated vertical towers within independent scaffolds. Uses: Safe multi-level access. Advantages: Reduces fall risks; seamless integration. Braced at every lift with secure ties.
  4. Free-Standing Towers: Standalone structures (no ties to building). Uses: Sites where tying isn’t possible. Advantages: Flexible placement. Strict stability ratios (4:1 indoors, 3:1 outdoors); braced on all faces; limited height/load.
  5. Mobile Towers: Free-standing towers on swivel castors. Uses: Quick maintenance, fit-outs, lightweight work. Advantages: Easy to move and reposition. Height ratios 3.5:1 indoors/3:1 outdoors; max ~9.5m internal; brakes required; no movement when occupied.
  6. Birdcages: Grid-style internal/external platforms. Uses: Overhead work, ceilings, large-area access. Advantages: Safe coverage over vast spaces. Load classes 0.75–2.0kN/m²; mandatory foot lifts; continuous bracing.
  7. Chimney Stack Scaffolding: Compact access around roof chimneys. Uses: Roof-level repairs, inspections. Advantages: Ideal for tight roof spaces. Limited to 1.5kN/m²; supported by towers/struts; braced walkways.

 

Choosing the right type ensures safety, compliance (HSE/TG20:21), and efficiency. Always use qualified Lancing scaffolders for site-specific assessments.
