Re-Roofing Scaffolding in Ashford
The bit that goes wrong on Ashford re-roofs is usually the scaffold — wrong lift height, no loading bay, ties that clash with the new felt. We build them to what a re-roofer actually needs, because most of our work here comes through roofers. Most of the Ashford work sits inside TN23 and TN24 and TN25. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M20 (J9/J10), about 19 miles past Maidstone. Site inductions, programme dates and out-of-hours mobilisation tend to drive the brief. We're regularly on sites around Sevington logistics park and Eureka Park. Enquiries here run a balance of residential and commercial work, so the brief always starts with a site visit. The nearest neighbouring towns to Ashford are Tenterden and Folkestone — handy if a job needs splitting across sites. On the commercial side, Eureka Park keeps us busy through the year. From the same crew we also work Tenterden, Folkestone, Canterbury — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Ashford site.

Re-Roofing Scaffolding FAQs from Ashford customers
How long do you leave a re-roof scaffold up in Ashford?+
Standard is 2–4 weeks for a semi in Ashford, longer for a full terrace or a big detached. We coordinate the strike with the roofer so you're not paying weekly hire on a finished roof.
Can you put a temporary roof over a re-roof in Ashford?+
Yes — for winter strips or when there's water damage below, a temporary roof over the scaffold keeps the property watertight while the strip runs. We can quote it as part of the same job.
Do you carry chimney lifts on a re-roof scaffold?+
Yes, and it's much cheaper to do the chimney at the same time as the roof. Tell us what the stack needs (repoint, rebuild, cowl) and we'll size the lift accordingly.
Will you work weekends for a re-roof in Ashford?+
We can erect on a Saturday if the programme needs it — most of our Ashford roofers ask for a Monday start, so we usually mobilise the Friday before.
Do you give a quote without seeing the property in Ashford?+
We give an indicative price over the phone if it's a standard job, but every written quote for Ashford comes after a free site visit — that's the only way the price reflects the actual access, building height and trade requirements.
How long does the scaffold need to stay up in Ashford?+
The scaffold stays up only as long as the trades need it — typically a week for chimney work, two to four weeks for a re-roof, longer for full refurbishments. We agree the strip date with you up front and inspect weekly while it's up.
A good re-roof depends on the scaffold being right on day one. That's the bar we set for every re-roof we do across Ashford. Speak when you're ready — TN23 is local for us. We'd rather quote Ashford properly than quote it quick.
