4 Home Projects That Require Scaffolding

You’ve probably walked past dozens of homes with scaffolding up and wondered what they’re having done. What projects need scaffolding and who actually uses it? Whether you’re planning a home renovation project and you’re unsure if you need scaffolding, or you’re just curious what jobs require this useful tool, this post is for you.

Below are four of the most common projects that require domestic scaffolding to be erected on a house.

1. Home Improvements

Home improvements are one of the most common reasons to need scaffolding. Whether it’s a loft conversion, extension, or replacing the roof, scaffolding will usually be a key component of the project.

Construction workers will use scaffolding platforms and access towers to reach the roof, attic, or second storey and this will make their job much easier.

Not all home improvement projects require scaffolding though. So if you’re thinking of a home improvement project and you’re not sure whether or not to factor scaffolding into your budget, give us a call and we’ll be able to advise you on what you need.

2. Painting

For small paint jobs, ladders often suffice. But many homes have exceptionally high second floors or not enough floor space to safely use a ladder. In these cases, scaffolding makes the job much quicker and safer for a painter or decorator.

Not only that, but they need a secure place for their tools and paints, which is the perfect job for a scaffolding platform. The last thing you want is to fall from a ladder or drop a tin of paint all over your driveway.

3. Building Repairs

Whether your roof needs repairing or your gutters are clogged, scaffolding offers a safe solution for the work to be carried out. Although this can seem like a lot of work for small repair projects, scaffolding is actually a quick and efficient solution to keep yourself or any work people safe while doing the job.

4. Window Cleaning

When it comes to most houses, window cleaning can be done without the need for scaffolding. Most window cleaners even use reach tools which means they don’t even need ladders. But if you live in an apartment building or townhouse, you’ll likely need scaffolding to get your windows safely cleaned.

Again, this is a safety measure to ensure anyone completing the work does so in the safest way possible.
