Rear Extension Scaffolding in Tenterden
A rear-extension scaffold in Tenterden 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 Tenterden work sits inside TN30. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via A28, about 12 miles past Ashford. Conservation-area sheeting and a quiet, tidy build are usually the unspoken requirement. We're regularly on sites around High Street and Vine Court. Building stock around Tenterden is mostly weatherboard cottage and tile-hung house, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. For residential scaffold work specifically in Tenterden: your home treated like ours. Most enquiries from here are residential — homeowners, landlords and the builders working for them. The nearest neighbouring towns to Tenterden are Ashford and Cranbrook — handy if a job needs splitting across sites.

Rear Extension Scaffolding FAQs from Tenterden customers
How long is an extension scaffold up in Tenterden?+
For a standard single-storey rear extension in Tenterden, 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 Tenterden.
Can you work with our chosen builder in Tenterden?+
Every time. Most of our Tenterden extension work comes through builders. Give us the programme and we'll fit around them.
Will the scaffold need a licence for a Tenterden extension?+
If it stays inside your boundary, no. If any part crosses the pavement or highway in TN30 we'll sort a licence with Ashford Borough Council — normally two working days notice.
What happens at handover on a Tenterden scaffold?+
You get a scaffold tag, an inspection sheet and a written handover note. Anyone who works off the scaffold should check the tag — we re-inspect every seven days while it's up.
Do you take a deposit before the scaffold goes up in Tenterden?+
No deposit on standard residential and trade-led work in Tenterden. Larger commercial mobilisations get phased payment terms written into the contract.
