Rear Extension Scaffolding in Dover
A rear-extension scaffold in Dover covers three trades in one hire — bricklayer, roofer, plasterer or renderer. We design ours to serve all three without needing to be adapted mid-job, which is where costs and delays usually come from. Most of the Dover work sits inside CT15 and CT16 and CT17. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via A2 / A20, about 8 miles past Folkestone. Heavy weather, salt air and tight working windows around dock and trade traffic. We're regularly on sites around Western Docks and White Cliffs business park. Building stock around Dover is mostly Victorian terrace and seafront apartment block, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. For residential scaffold work specifically in Dover: your home treated like ours. From the same crew we also work Folkestone, Deal, Sandwich — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Dover site. Enquiries here run a balance of residential and commercial work, so the brief always starts with a site visit.

Rear Extension Scaffolding FAQs from Dover customers
How long is an extension scaffold up in Dover?+
For a standard single-storey rear extension in Dover, 6–10 weeks. Two-storey or larger runs 10–16 weeks. We coordinate strike with your builder so you're not paying standing hire.
Do we need scaffold from the start of the extension?+
Bricklayers need scaffold once wall plate height is reached, but roof work always does. We normally mobilise as the brickwork approaches eaves height in Dover.
Can you work with our chosen builder in Dover?+
Every time. Most of our Dover extension work comes through builders. Give us the programme and we'll fit around them.
Will the scaffold need a licence for a Dover extension?+
If it stays inside your boundary, no. If any part crosses the pavement or highway in CT15 we'll sort a licence with Dover District Council — normally two working days notice.
Do you take a deposit before the scaffold goes up in Dover?+
No deposit on standard residential and trade-led work in Dover. Larger commercial mobilisations get phased payment terms written into the contract.
How far is your yard from Dover?+
About 8 miles from Folkestone, mostly along A2 / A20. That short run keeps mobilisation cost and lead time low on Dover work.
