Domestic Scaffolding
Domestic Scaffolding in the East Midlands
Finding the right domestic scaffolding is essential for any home improvement project that involves working at height—roof repairs, chimney repointing, exterior painting or a new extension. Piped Up supplies, erects and dismantles fully compliant scaffolding for houses, bungalows, cottages and listed buildings. Every structure is designed around your property, inspected weekly and certified to the latest NASC TG20:21 guidance, giving you, your contractors and your insurers complete peace of mind.
Our in-house team covers the East Midlands, providing scaffolding near me in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Chesterfield districts. Because we own our equipment and operate our own transport, we can respond quickly, keep costs transparent and adapt platforms as your project progresses.
Scaffolding Hire
Short-term scaffolding hire is ideal for weekend DIY or small-scale maintenance. We offer hire periods from 48 hours to several weeks, with extensions available at a fixed weekly rate. Hire packages include:
Scaffolding Tower Hire
When you only need vertical access on one elevation, scaffolding tower hire provides a cost-effective alternative to a full wrap. Our lightweight aluminium towers:
Scaffolding Rental
Longer projects—full re-roofs, rear extensions, dormer installations—benefit from scaffolding rental on a monthly basis. Rental agreements include:
Please note: Soffits, fascias, and guttering are only included as part of a full re-roof service.
What Our Clients Say
Frequently asked questions
How much does scaffolding cost?
Pricing depends on size, complexity, and hire length. A straightforward two-storey scaffold covering the front of a three-bed detached house might cost £650–£750 for four weeks, inclusive of erection, weekly inspections and dismantling. Complex wraps—around conservatories, chimneys or uneven ground—require additional labour, ledger braces and buttresses, raising costs. Long-term rental is charged weekly after an initial minimum period, with discounted rates for projects over eight weeks. All quotes include public liability insurance, hand-over certification and safety signage. We provide a free home survey, fixed written quotation and clear breakdown of optional extras such as debris netting or temporary roofing.
Do I need permission to place scaffolding on a pavement or road?
Yes. A highway permit from the local council is mandatory if any part of the scaffold encroaches onto public land. We apply for the permit, submit drawings and risk assessments, and schedule work once approval is granted (typically 5–10 working days). Council fees are added to your quotation so there are no hidden charges.
What safety standards do you follow?
All structures are erected by CISRS-qualified scaffolders to NASC TG20:21 design guidance or bespoke engineering where necessary. We supply guardrails, toe boards, brick guards and ladder access to comply with the Work at Height Regulations. Weekly inspections and weather checks are documented and provided on request.
Can scaffolding damage my garden or driveway?
We protect lawns and paving with load-spread boards and can use rubber-footed base plates on sensitive surfaces. If ground conditions are poor, we install additional sole boards or proprietary mats to distribute weight safely.
Is scaffolding required for every roof repair?
Small slate replacements may use a mobile tower, but full re-roofing, chimney rebuilds or solar panel installation generally need a fixed scaffold to provide continuous safe access and protect pedestrians from falling debris.
Do you offer rubbish chutes and material hoists?
Yes. Plastic chutes speed up debris removal, while gin wheels or loading bays make lifting tiles and timber safer. Accessories can be added at any stage of the hire.
How quickly can you erect domestic scaffolding?
Simple front elevations can be completed in half a day; full-house wraps usually take one working day. We coordinate with your roofer or builder so work starts immediately once the scaffold is certified.
What happens if my project overruns?
Contact us before the hire period ends. We charge a transparent weekly extension fee and continue mandatory inspections until dismantling. Platform alterations are quoted separately and carried out promptly.
Will my home insurance be affected?
Most insurers ask to be notified when scaffolding is erected due to increased access risk. Provide them with our company details and hire dates; some offer premium waivers if the scaffold is alarmed—an option we can supply.
Can I combine scaffolding with a re-roof and solar installation?
Absolutely. We specialise in re-roofing and in-roof solar systems, allowing you to complete structural and renewable upgrades within a single scaffold hire, saving time and money.
