Romsey work is often on older property in and around the town centre, where what the scaffold touches matters as much as how it stands. TG20 compliant scaffolds erected, inspected and struck across Romsey and the SO51 postcodes around it, from a single access tower to a full commercial elevation.
Romsey is an old market town with period property in and around the centre, some of it in a conservation area, so ties, bearing points and anything visible from the street need agreeing before the scaffold goes up. In practice most of what we are called out for around Romsey is period property repairs, 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 Romsey (SO51) it is mostly period property repairs, chimney access and sympathetic scaffolds in the conservation area. Romsey is an old market town with period property in and around the centre, some of it in a conservation area, so ties, bearing points and anything visible from the street need agreeing before the scaffold goes up. 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. Romsey is about 11 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. Romsey work is often on older property in and around the town centre, where what the scaffold touches matters as much as how it stands. We are happy to talk through the kind of jobs we have done near Abbey when you call, and to explain how we would approach yours.
Yes, and it changes the job. In Romsey a good share of the property is older, sometimes listed and often in a conservation area, so where the scaffold ties into and bears on the building has to be agreed rather than assumed, and soft or historic brickwork will not take a standard tie. We look at that on the survey and, where consent is needed for anything visible from the street, we tell you before the quote rather than after.
Every enquiry gets a response and a date in the diary within 7 days. Most domestic jobs in Romsey 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 Romsey, 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 Romsey 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 Romsey, 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.
