Four Types of Residential Work That Require Scaffolding

MTS Scaffolding • Apr 01, 2021

Whether you’re taking on a self-build project or a professional team are renovating your home, scaffolding is often an essential part of residential construction. Not only does scaffolding create a safe and accessible environment but this will also ensure that all work can be done to the highest standard.

 

Not sure if you require scaffolding? Here are four common types of work that often need scaffolding.


Loft extensions

If you plan on having a loft conversion, the builders will need access to this part of the house so scaffolding is necessary. Loft extensions are not quick builds so having the right equipment that lasts for the entirety of the build is essential. Moving materials and tools around can be almost impossible without scaffolding but with a comfortable working space productivity will be will increase.


Roof maintenance and repairs

Whether you’re having chimney maintenance, fascia and soffit removal or any other kind of roofing works, scaffolding will provide the right support for your high access needs. Ladders are not always suitable for every job as working at an angle can put you off balance, so don’t be tempted to skip over the safer option.


Painting and decorating

Does the front of your house need a freshen up? To get to those hard to reach places, temporary scaffolding will provide a safe platform where you or the decorating team can work. That means no more overreaching and putting yourself at risk of injury! Scaffolding can also be very easy to assemble and dismantle so even if you only require it for a few days it’s no problem.


Conservatory work

Perhaps your conservatory needs repairing or maybe you’re having a new installation fitted, either way, to access the desired height safely, scaffolding is often needed. The last thing you want is for you or the tradesmen to get halfway through the job and realise that you don’t have the right access solutions in place so get prepared and your project will experience one less problem.
