Fareham is the eastern edge of our regular patch and a fair amount of the work there is commercial or retail rather than housing. TG20 compliant scaffolds erected, inspected and struck across Fareham and the PO16 postcodes around it, from a single access tower to a full commercial elevation.
Fareham is a harbour town with a working centre, retail frontages and housing behind it, so public protection, footpath licences and out of hours erects come up more often there than on a domestic street. In practice most of what we are called out for around Fareham is commercial unit access, with everything else on the list available alongside it.
Extensions, re-roofs, render, fascias, chimney repairs and everything else that needs safe access around a home.
Units, offices, schools, shopfronts and blocks, programmed around the trades that have to follow us on.
Solar work lives or dies on access.
New build access is a sequence, not a single visit.
Chimney rebuilds, repointing, flashings, ridge and verge repairs, aerial and flue work: all of them need a proper platform at the top rather than somebody on a ladder.
Once the tiles come off, the weather decides how the job goes unless you cover it.
Not everything needs a full elevation of scaffold.
Every scaffold we erect is handed over with a certificate that says what it is, what it is designed to carry and who put it up.
Across Fareham (PO16) it is mostly commercial unit access, shopfront scaffolds and domestic re-roofs. Fareham is a harbour town with a working centre, retail frontages and housing behind it, so public protection, footpath licences and out of hours erects come up more often there than on a domestic street. Every job starts with a look at the property or a set of clear photos, because a scaffold price given blind is a guess.
No. Travel is included in the price. Fareham is about 17 km from our Southampton base, well inside the patch we cover day to day, so you are paying for the scaffold and the labour rather than for the van.
Yes. Fareham is the eastern edge of our regular patch and a fair amount of the work there is commercial or retail rather than housing. We are happy to talk through the kind of jobs we have done near West Street when you call, and to explain how we would approach yours.
Where the work fronts a street, quite a lot. In Fareham a scaffold on a shopfront or a commercial frontage usually means a highway licence, a covered walkway or gantry to keep the footpath open, and often erecting outside trading hours. We arrange the licence and plan the erect around the business rather than closing it for a day.
Every enquiry gets a response and a date in the diary within 7 days. Most domestic jobs in Fareham go up within a fortnight of the quote being accepted, and short work like a chimney tower or a solar access lift can often be fitted in sooner. If you have a fixed date with a roofer or a solar installer, give it to us and we will work back from it.
If any part of the scaffold stands on the pavement or the road, yes. That is a highway licence, applied for from the local authority covering Fareham, and it has a lead time. We deal with the application and build the cost into the quote. Scaffold sitting entirely within your own boundary does not need one.
Regularly. A solar install in Fareham normally needs a boarded working lift at gutter height with edge protection along the roofline, up before the panels arrive and struck once the array is signed off. If you are an installer working around Fareham, or a homeowner who has been asked to arrange access, we can work to the install date.
A handover certificate when it is finished, stating the configuration and what it is rated to carry, and inspection records at the intervals the regulations require while it is standing. Your roofer, your insurer and, on a commercial job, the principal contractor will all want to see it.
Call, WhatsApp or send the form and we will come back to you with a straight answer.
Send photos of the property and we can price most jobs from them.
