Rear Extension Scaffolding in Tonbridge
A rear-extension scaffold in Tonbridge 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 Tonbridge work sits inside TN9 and TN10 and TN11. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via A21 / A26, about 5 miles past Tunbridge Wells. Conservation-area sheeting and a quiet, tidy build are usually the unspoken requirement. We're regularly on sites around Vauxhall industrial estate and Cannon Lane retail. Building stock around Tonbridge is mostly Victorian terrace and Edwardian semi, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. Most enquiries from here are residential — homeowners, landlords and the builders working for them. From the same crew we also work Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Maidstone — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Tonbridge site. For residential scaffold work specifically in Tonbridge: your home treated like ours.

Rear Extension Scaffolding FAQs from Tonbridge customers
How long is an extension scaffold up in Tonbridge?+
For a standard single-storey rear extension in Tonbridge, 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 Tonbridge.
Can you work with our chosen builder in Tonbridge?+
Every time. Most of our Tonbridge extension work comes through builders. Give us the programme and we'll fit around them.
Will the scaffold need a licence for a Tonbridge extension?+
If it stays inside your boundary, no. If any part crosses the pavement or highway in TN9 we'll sort a licence with Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council — normally two working days notice.
Will the scaffold mess up the garden when it comes down?+
We use protection sheeting under the take-down, walk every section out by hand on awkward Tonbridge sites rather than dropping it, and leave the lawn and patio as we found them. If anything's damaged we put it right.
Do you take a deposit before the scaffold goes up in Tonbridge?+
No deposit on standard residential and trade-led work in Tonbridge. Larger commercial mobilisations get phased payment terms written into the contract.
