A leaking chimney
A stack usually needs one lift and a short run of boards around it — chimney scaffold hire at its simplest. We set it up, your roofer sorts the flashing or repoints, we take it down.
Hereford · Leominster · Ross-on-Wye
Domestic scaffolding for Hereford's terraced streets.
Two of us, one lorry. If there's no way round the back, we carry the boards through — carefully.

The walk-through
How we scaffold a house with no way round the back.
Most of the terraces we work on have no side gate and no rear lane — terraced house scaffolding with no access is our bread and butter. Here's the whole job, start to finish, exactly as it happens. If you've never hired scaffolding before, you shouldn't have to guess.
-
Sheets down first.
Dust sheets run from the front door, down the hall and out to the yard — laid before a single board comes off the lorry.
-
Boards through the hall.
Every board and tube is carried through by hand, one at a time. Two of us, no rushing, nothing propped against your wallpaper.
-
The lift goes up the gable.
Standards, ledgers, boards — built up in the back yard to the height the job needs. Most terrace gables are a morning's work.
-
Tagged before handover.
The scaffold is inspected, then the tag goes on — checked and dated. That's your roofer's sign that it's safe to climb.
-
Swept before we leave.
Dismantle runs in reverse — boards back through the hall, sheets up last, and the path swept before the lorry pulls away.
Domestic only
The jobs we put scaffolding up for.
All of it domestic, most of it on streets like yours. And if the job feels too small to bother a scaffolder with — that's exactly the work this firm was built on.
A full re-roof
Roofing scaffolding along the whole roofline so the roofers can strip and re-cover safely at gutter height. Four weeks' hire is included in the price — most re-roofs finish well inside it.
A loft conversion or extension
A loft conversion scaffold is a longer stand for a longer build. We come back and adapt it as the dormer goes up — each adaption priced and agreed before we touch it.
Guttering & fascia work
A short tower or a single lift at gutter height — the small job scaffolding that bigger firms around Hereford won't price. We will, gladly.
Left as we found it
Six years of tidy finishes, photographed.
Anyone can claim tidy. This is what the end of one of our jobs looks like — sheets folded, tag checked, path swept before the lorry pulls away.
The written quote
You can't price scaffolding yourself. So we write everything down.

That's the honest problem with hiring a scaffolder for the first time: you've no way of knowing what's fair. So we put exactly what you're paying for on paper — every job, every time.
Three things move the price: how high we're working, how we get to it, and how long it stays up. A gable behind a terrace with no side access takes more careful labour than one with a drive — and the quote will say so, in plain words.
If you're wondering how much domestic scaffolding costs in Hereford, the truthful answer is: it depends on the house. Which is why we come and look for nothing, and you get a number on paper before you decide anything.

Ask us round to lookWord on the street
What the neighbours say once the scaffold's down.
A terrace runs on word of mouth. If you're after a scaffolder for a terraced street in Hereford, this is the kind of thing you'll hear over the fence.
“They sheeted the whole hall and you'd never have known they'd been through.”
“The number on the quote was the number on the invoice. Six weeks up, one adaption, no surprises.”
“He swept the path before they'd even finished loading the lorry. You'd have them back for that alone.”
