Common Questions
FAQ's for Yorkshire Scaffolding Services
What is the 3 to 1 rule for scaffolding?
The 3-to-1 rule in scaffolding is a safety guideline primarily applied to freestanding or mobile scaffold towers to ensure stability and prevent tipping or collapse. It stipulates that the total height of the scaffold should not exceed three times the minimum base width (the narrowest dimension of the base, including outriggers if used).
For example, if the base is 4 feet wide at its narrowest point, the maximum height without additional support (like ties, guys, or bracing) would be 12 feet.
How much does scaffolding cost per day in the UK?
In the UK, scaffolding hire costs typically range from £30–£150 per day (ongoing, excluding setup), with weekly rates at £200–£1,500+ and initial erection fees of £300–£1,000, varying by size, type, and location. Northern areas like Yorkshire often fall on the lower end.
AM Scaffolding Yorkshire’s starting price of £400 aligns well and sits on the lower side with national averages for basic setups (e.g., single-side house scaffolding at £350–£650 including erection), making it a competitive, value-driven option for domestic or small commercial projects in the region, potentially 10–20% below southern UK equivalents. For precise quotes, contact us directly for a free quote.
What is the hourly rate for a scaffolder Yorkshire?
In Yorkshire, the average hourly rate for a scaffolder typically ranges from £15 to £22, depending on experience, location, and role type (e.g., labourer vs. advanced). Entry-level or labourer positions start around £10–£15 per hour, while experienced or journeyman scaffolders earn £18–£25+ per hour, with West Yorkshire averaging about £21.15 and South Yorkshire (including areas like Sheffield) slightly lower at £12–£19.
However, at AM Scaffolding Yorkshire, we charge based on project scope rather than an hourly rate, with prices starting from £400 for basic domestic setups. This approach ensures tailored, fixed costs that account for the full job, including erection, hire duration (often 4–6 weeks), and dismantling, providing better value without unexpected hourly fees.
How long can scaffolding be left up in the UK?
In the UK, there is no legal maximum time limit for how long scaffolding can be left up, provided it remains safe, structurally sound, and compliant with regulations. It can stay in place indefinitely for as long as the project requires, but must be inspected by a competent person before first use, at least every 7 days thereafter, and following any events that could affect its stability (e.g., adverse weather or alterations). This is governed by the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and HSE guidelines, which apply even if the scaffold is not in active use.
Local councils may require permits for scaffolding on public highways, which could include time restrictions based on the permit terms, so always check with your local authority.
Is it cheaper to rent or buy scaffolding?
It depends on the duration, frequency, and scale of your scaffolding needs, as well as factors like storage, maintenance, and professional erection requirements (which are mandatory for safety in the UK). For most short-term or one-off home renovation projects, renting (or hiring) is typically cheaper and more practical due to lower upfront costs and no ongoing ownership burdens.
However, if you’ll use it frequently or for extended periods (e.g., over 12 weeks), buying could offer long-term savings, especially with schemes like buy-back options that refund up to 50% upon return.
