Safety and Regulations
What the rules say about this job, and how a properly built scaffold meets them.
Work at height needs planning
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require work at height to be planned, supervised and carried out by competent people using suitable equipment. A boarded scaffold platform is the collective protection for wall work.
Both hands free
Rendering and painting need both hands, which is why a ladder is the wrong tool for anything beyond a small patch.
Tell us your finish
Scaffold ties fix to the building. Tell us your renderer's plans before we start so tie positions can be planned around the finish being applied.
Inspected before use
A scaffold should be inspected before first use and at least every 7 days after that. We hand over an inspection certificate on every job.

How Long Does It Take?
Rendering a house typically takes anywhere from four days for a small elevation to two to three weeks for a large detached house, and cement-based render usually needs 7–14 days to dry before painting. Scaffold is normally in place for two to four weeks; if the job needs to stay up longer for drying, tell us and we will agree it.
Pricing
A single-elevation scaffold for render or painting in Essex typically costs £650–£1,300. Wrapping the whole house is typically £1,350–£2,600. A highway licence, where needed, is additional, and a longer hire for drying time adds to the cost. We quote each job after assessing it.
