Rear Extension Scaffolding in Sevenoaks
Most rear extensions in Sevenoaks are behind Edwardian semi 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 Sevenoaks work sits inside TN13 and TN14 and TN15. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M25 (J5), about 7 miles past Tonbridge. Most jobs here run around school runs, parking restrictions and weekend deliveries. We're regularly on sites around Vestry Road Estate and Riverhead retail park. Most enquiries from here are residential — homeowners, landlords and the builders working for them. The nearest neighbouring towns to Sevenoaks are Tonbridge and Westerham — handy if a job needs splitting across sites. From the same crew we also work Tonbridge, Westerham, Swanley — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Sevenoaks site. Building stock around Sevenoaks is mostly Edwardian semi and Kentish ragstone cottage, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up.

Rear Extension Scaffolding FAQs from Sevenoaks customers
How long is an extension scaffold up in Sevenoaks?+
For a standard single-storey rear extension in Sevenoaks, 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 Sevenoaks.
Can you work with our chosen builder in Sevenoaks?+
Every time. Most of our Sevenoaks extension work comes through builders. Give us the programme and we'll fit around them.
Will the scaffold need a licence for a Sevenoaks extension?+
If it stays inside your boundary, no. If any part crosses the pavement or highway in TN13 we'll sort a licence with Sevenoaks District Council — normally two working days notice.
Are you insured to work on my property in Sevenoaks?+
Yes — £5m public liability and full employer's liability for every operative. Certificates are sent with the quote on any Sevenoaks job that needs them.
Is scaffolding listed buildings in Sevenoaks a problem?+
It's manageable, not a problem. On listed properties in Sevenoaks we use restricted-anchorage patterns and freestanding designs where wall ties aren't permitted, and we'll talk to your conservation officer at Sevenoaks District Council if needed.
