How we quote it

The same 7 lines, every time.

Whatever the surface, your quote splits the work the same honest way, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

The scaffold scope sheet

1 Design + duty rating. Engineered to the load your trades carry, light, medium or heavy, not guessed.
2 Engineer design certificate. Required over four metres or for any non-standard load. Signed, not assumed.
3 SWMS, before boots. A job-specific safe-work method statement, on site before anyone climbs.
4 Erect + dismantle, fixed. Both priced on the page, with a firm install date and a dismantle date.
5 Weekly hire rate. A clear per-week rate and the included weeks, so there is no surprise hire creep.
6 Green Scaftag handover. A dated tag on every access point, so anyone on site knows it is certified.
7 Public protection. Gantry, hoarding, debris netting where the job meets the footpath or the street.

If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.

Questions, answered

Roof Edge Protection & Guardrail, common questions.

Can you install before my roofers start?

That is the point. We schedule edge protection so it is up, certified and tagged before your crew arrives, and we strike it once the roof work is signed off.

Does edge protection suit a short job?

Yes. For short-duration roof and solar work we offer fast install-and-strike on perimeter guardrail and catch platforms, priced as a single line so a one-day job does not carry a month of hire.

Is guardrail enough, or do I need full scaffold?

It depends on the work, the pitch and the fall height. We assess on site and recommend the lightest compliant option, sometimes guardrail is enough, sometimes the safe answer is a full edge scaffold. We tell you which, and why.
