Rear Extension Scaffolding in Margate
A rear-extension scaffold in Margate 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 Margate work sits inside CT9. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via A299 (Thanet Way), about 5 miles past Ramsgate. Exposed-site scaffolds, more frequent ties and corrosion-resistant fittings are normal here. We're regularly on sites around Westwood Cross and Margate Old Town. Most enquiries from here are residential — homeowners, landlords and the builders working for them. On the commercial side, Margate Old Town keeps us busy through the year. The nearest neighbouring towns to Margate are Broadstairs and Ramsgate — handy if a job needs splitting across sites. For residential scaffold work specifically in Margate: your home treated like ours.

Rear Extension Scaffolding FAQs from Margate customers
How long is an extension scaffold up in Margate?+
For a standard single-storey rear extension in Margate, 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 Margate.
Can you work with our chosen builder in Margate?+
Every time. Most of our Margate extension work comes through builders. Give us the programme and we'll fit around them.
Will the scaffold need a licence for a Margate extension?+
If it stays inside your boundary, no. If any part crosses the pavement or highway in CT9 we'll sort a licence with Thanet District Council — normally two working days notice.
Are you insured to work on my property in Margate?+
Yes — £5m public liability and full employer's liability for every operative. Certificates are sent with the quote on any Margate job that needs them.
How far is your yard from Margate?+
About 5 miles from Ramsgate, mostly along A299 (Thanet Way). That short run keeps mobilisation cost and lead time low on Margate work.
