Rear Extension Scaffolding in Sittingbourne
Extension scaffolds in Sittingbourne are a builder's tool — the lift height needs to change as the brickwork rises, the loading bay has to serve the steels and the tile drop, and the strike has to line up with the plaster set. We build them to that sequence. Most of the Sittingbourne work sits inside ME9 and ME10. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J5), about 12 miles past Maidstone. Site inductions, programme dates and out-of-hours mobilisation tend to drive the brief. We're regularly on sites around Eurolink industrial estate and Kemsley paper mill area. Enquiries here run a balance of residential and commercial work, so the brief always starts with a site visit. On the commercial side, Kemsley paper mill area keeps us busy through the year. Building stock around Sittingbourne is mostly post-war semi and warehouse, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. The nearest neighbouring towns to Sittingbourne are Faversham and Maidstone — handy if a job needs splitting across sites.

Rear Extension Scaffolding FAQs from Sittingbourne customers
How long is an extension scaffold up in Sittingbourne?+
For a standard single-storey rear extension in Sittingbourne, 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 Sittingbourne.
Can you work with our chosen builder in Sittingbourne?+
Every time. Most of our Sittingbourne extension work comes through builders. Give us the programme and we'll fit around them.
Will the scaffold need a licence for a Sittingbourne extension?+
If it stays inside your boundary, no. If any part crosses the pavement or highway in ME9 we'll sort a licence with Swale Borough Council — normally two working days notice.
Do you take a deposit before the scaffold goes up in Sittingbourne?+
No deposit on standard residential and trade-led work in Sittingbourne. Larger commercial mobilisations get phased payment terms written into the contract.
What about my neighbours in Sittingbourne?+
On a terraced or semi-detached job in ME9 we'll talk to neighbours about access and any oversail of their boundary before we mobilise. Most are fine with it once they know what's planned.
Extensions in Sittingbourne depend on the scaffold being ready when the trade shows up. Our programme is your programme. Speak when you're ready — ME9 is local for us. That's how we run every job across Swale Borough Council.
