To hire scaffolding requires a basic knowledge of the jobs you need to do, where you need to reach and the time frame in which you’ll need to hire it for. If you’ve got work ongoing and you want to know how to hire for the duration, we’ve put together this brief guide on the process to help make it a bit easier.
Speak To Your Contractor
Firstly, we recommend speaking to your contractor. Unless you’re carrying out the work yourself, in which case you can skip this stage. Your builder will know all the important information about where the scaffolding needs to reach, when it needs to be erected and for how long. This will give you all the knowledge necessary to get the ball rolling.
Contact Your Local Scaffolding Company
Now that you have all the necessary information, it’s time to give your local scaffolding company a call. Discuss the following information with your potential contractor:
- Building height
- Access requirements
- Length of hire
- Location
Once they’re aware of all aspects of the job, they’ll be able to quote an estimated price and visit your property to finalise the requirements.
Assess Your Access
Once you’ve agreed upon a timeframe, it’s important to assess the access to your property. Scaffolding vehicles can be long and wide, and they’ll require nearby parking and access to your home in order to erect the structure. We recommend moving all vehicles and obstacles out of the way wherever possible to ensure an efficient process.
Removing Your Scaffolding
Once the job is complete, and you’re finished with your scaffolding, then it’s time to get it removed. Fortunately, most hire rates are weekly, which means if you need it for more or less time than quoted, the price can be adjusted. Simply repeat the previous steps in contacting your contractor and removing vehicles and obstacles. After this, the job is done. You can enjoy a scaffolding-free home with all repair or renovation work completed.
