Scaffolding

A temporary access and safety structure of tubes, boards, and fittings erected around a building to allow workers to safely carry out work at height. Scaffolding is typically required for all extensions exceeding one storey in height and for any roof work. Cost depends on size, access complexity, and duration. A standard domestic extension scaffold is typically £800–£2,500 erected and £100–£200 per week hire.
