Rear Extension Scaffolding in Rochester
Most rear extensions in Rochester are behind Georgian townhouse stock, where garden access is tight and the neighbour boundary is close. We plan the scaffold to land clean and stay out of your builder's way. Most of the Rochester work sits inside ME1 and ME2. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J2/J3) / A2, about 1 miles past Chatham. We're based on the Medway ourselves so mobilisation is fast and lead times are short. We're regularly on sites around Medway City Estate and Rochester High Street. For residential scaffold work specifically in Rochester: your home treated like ours. From the same crew we also work Chatham, Strood, Gillingham — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Rochester site. Enquiries here run a balance of residential and commercial work, so the brief always starts with a site visit. The nearest neighbouring towns to Rochester are Chatham and Strood — handy if a job needs splitting across sites.

Rear Extension Scaffolding FAQs from Rochester customers
How long is an extension scaffold up in Rochester?+
For a standard single-storey rear extension in Rochester, 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 Rochester.
Can you work with our chosen builder in Rochester?+
Every time. Most of our Rochester extension work comes through builders. Give us the programme and we'll fit around them.
Will the scaffold need a licence for a Rochester extension?+
If it stays inside your boundary, no. If any part crosses the pavement or highway in ME1 we'll sort a licence with Medway Council — normally two working days notice.
Do you give a quote without seeing the property in Rochester?+
We give an indicative price over the phone if it's a standard job, but every written quote for Rochester 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 Rochester?+
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.
