A painters’ scaffold is an essential piece of equipment if you are a painter or decorator who has a hard to reach painting job.
Using a scaffold structure to paint the walls of a house is sometimes the last thing people really want to use as many think that having scaffolding erected for a paint job is very expensive, but it is a lot more affordable than you would think! Plus, safety should always come before cost when working at any height.
When it comes to erecting painters’ scaffolds our professional company will provide a free quotation and a quick and easy solution for your painting project.
We will build a painters’ scaffold to suit your needs as we have erected many scaffolds in the past to churches, warehouses, domestic and commercial properties plus industrial units to give access for paint works.
This is where we build free-standing scaffolds that do not depend on any part of the property for support, however it will be tied to the building at ground level for extra stability. An independent scaffold gives painters the ability to paint the whole area without having to paint around our tubes.
This is a scaffolding framework that is butted onto the building using braces on every other set of standards and where we would remove the top lift once works are complete, whilst leaving the base out standing so you can paint the remaining areas where the transoms have butted against the walls.
Safety – Keep yourself safe with our painters’ scaffold solutions. Scaffolds offer stability and strength and most importantly can keep you alive when working off the ground!
Time – A painters’ scaffold can save you time as rather than moving up and down a ladder you will have a large working platform that stretches the length of the area you are painting.
Ease of job – No need for stretching or straining to reach any areas off a ladder or off a flimsy aluminium tower, plus your materials and equipment will be with you on the platform.
The obvious answer is painting but there are many areas of a house or property that may require a lick of paint. Here is a short list of some of the sections of a property that may need to be painted:
If you are wanting to paint areas of a property that you are unable to access safely by a ladder then you should have a painters’ scaffolding erected around any sides of the house you need to paint. It is the most efficient and safe way to get the paint job done. Other factors that may play a part in the decision to have a painting scaffolding are the following:
A painting scaffold is usually a simple structure to erect but each one can vary immensely depending on the type of property you have and areas you are painting. For example, if you are painting the whole of the outside of a 2-storey detached property, this would usually require 2-3 access lifts with a 5 scaffold boards wide painters’ scaffolding to be put up around all four sides. If you are just painting the whole front of your 3-storey property then this would require an access scaffold with 3-5 lifts. The size of each structure can be so different it would be hard to give a price to cover all eventualities. However, a guide price for a standard detached 2 storey property would start from £350-£600 for 1 elevation or £1400-£2000 for all 4 sides.
Yes, we offer a 7-day inspection service, if there have been alterations or repairs or adverse weather that may affect the stability. However, we do insist that if you require the scaffolds to be altered in any way to contact us first and we will arrange a visit to do this for you. Under no circumstances whatsoever is it recommended at all for any person other than a qualified scaffolder or scaffolding company to make changes to a scaffold. Here is a guide from the painters’ and decorators association handbook. Check out the painters’ scaffold section on Page 65.
Yes, it is and as mentioned above we can erect a free standing or independent painters’ scaffolding which will not be tied into the wall, so you do not have to paint around the tube ends etc. We do this by using the first lift to butt onto the wall and then the remaining higher working lifts are supported by this plus double bracing.
