Winchester work is mostly older property, and the tie positions and what the scaffold is allowed to bear on need agreeing before anything goes up. TG20 compliant scaffolds erected, inspected and struck across Winchester and the SO23 postcodes around it, from a single access tower to a full commercial elevation.
Winchester is a historic city with listed and period buildings throughout, where what the scaffold is allowed to bear on and tie into is a conversation with the owner and sometimes the conservation officer before it is a scaffold job. In practice most of what we are called out for around Winchester is listed and period building 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 Winchester (SO23) it is mostly listed and period building access, chimney and stonework repairs and carefully tied scaffolds. Winchester is a historic city with listed and period buildings throughout, where what the scaffold is allowed to bear on and tie into is a conversation with the owner and sometimes the conservation officer before it is a scaffold job. 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. Winchester is about 18 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. Winchester work is mostly older property, and the tie positions and what the scaffold is allowed to bear on need agreeing before anything goes up. We are happy to talk through the kind of jobs we have done near Cathedral when you call, and to explain how we would approach yours.
Yes, and it changes the job. In Winchester 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 Winchester 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 Winchester, 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 Winchester 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 Winchester, 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.
