Rear Extension Scaffolding in Strood
Most rear extensions in Strood are behind post-war 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 Strood work sits inside ME2. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J2) / A228, about 1 miles past Rochester. 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 Frindsbury industrial area. Building stock around Strood is mostly post-war semi and warehouse, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. On the commercial side, Frindsbury industrial area keeps us busy through the year. The nearest neighbouring towns to Strood are Rochester and Chatham — handy if a job needs splitting across sites. From the same crew we also work Rochester, Chatham, Gravesend — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Strood site.

Rear Extension Scaffolding FAQs from Strood customers
How long is an extension scaffold up in Strood?+
For a standard single-storey rear extension in Strood, 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 Strood.
Can you work with our chosen builder in Strood?+
Every time. Most of our Strood extension work comes through builders. Give us the programme and we'll fit around them.
Will the scaffold need a licence for a Strood extension?+
If it stays inside your boundary, no. If any part crosses the pavement or highway in ME2 we'll sort a licence with Medway Council — normally two working days notice.
Do you give a quote without seeing the property in Strood?+
We give an indicative price over the phone if it's a standard job, but every written quote for Strood comes after a free site visit — that's the only way the price reflects the actual access, building height and trade requirements.
Are you insured to work on my property in Strood?+
Yes — £5m public liability and full employer's liability for every operative. Certificates are sent with the quote on any Strood job that needs them.
