Nobody knows what is out
Scaffold standing past its hire period is the single biggest leak in the trade, and a whiteboard in the yard is not a stock system.
Foundation Who we build for Scaffolders
Scaffolding is an asset business pretending to be a trade. The money is not in the erect, it is in knowing what is standing, where, and how long it has been earning nothing.
The bit that hurts
Every scaffolding firm has scaffold standing somewhere it stopped being paid for, and most of them find out when they need the boards.
Scaffold standing past its hire period is the single biggest leak in the trade, and a whiteboard in the yard is not a stock system.
Legally required every seven days and after alterations or bad weather. Missing them is a genuine liability, not a paperwork nicety.
The document the main contractor wants before anybody climbs it, produced in the office and emailed two days later.
Elevations, lifts, height and duration decide the price, and none of them come through in “can you do my house”.
An example site
This example is a construction-trade site with an estimator that asks about height and access before quoting — exactly the questions scaffolding pricing turns on.
An example construction-trade site. Yours would be designed around your work, not recoloured from this one.
What we build for you
Everything below exists to stop your boards earning nothing in somebody's garden.
Height, number of lifts, elevations, duration and whether a pavement licence is needed. The questions that actually decide the price, asked before you quote.
Which job, which address, erected when, hire period ending when. The number that runs the business and it is usually on a whiteboard.
Automatically, when the included weeks run out, with the customer told beforehand. This alone is usually the whole return.
Every seven days and after alterations or high winds, with the record signed on a phone. Legally required and routinely late.
Produced and emailed from the phone at handover, so nobody is waiting two days to get on the scaffold.
Council, cost, duration and expiry, per job, because the fine lands on you rather than the customer.
How it goes
Scaffolders start with the hire tracking, because scaffold standing past its period is money already earned and not billed.
How you quote by elevation and lift, and what your included hire period is.
Live, asking the questions that decide a price.
Everything currently standing loaded, with its hire clock running.
Seven-day scheduling and handover certificates from a phone.

Where we work
Scaffolding is bought by builders, roofers and homeowners in that order, and each searches differently. Every site gets pages for all three.
On your doorstep
We're in Windlesham, and we'll come to you — a coffee and a whiteboard beats a video call. Anywhere within twenty miles, plus the whole of London.
And everywhere else
We build for scaffolding firms across the UK. Hire clocks, inspections and certificates work identically everywhere.
What it costs
A scaffolding website starts at £250. Hire tracking, inspections and certificates are quoted free.
Or £220 up front and £19 a month — we host it, back it up nightly and keep the certificate valid. Compare both →
Get my priceNothing gets built until you've seen the price, and the price doesn't move afterwards. If it takes us longer than we thought, that's our problem, not your invoice.
Quick answers
From £250 built and handed over, or £220 up front plus £19 a month hosted and maintained. Hire tracking, inspections and certificates are quoted free.
Scaffold standing past its included period, billed. Almost every firm has some, almost none of them bill all of it, and it is usually more than the whole system costs in the first month.
Yes — scheduled every seven days and after alterations or high winds, signed on a phone with the record stored. It is a legal requirement and a genuine liability when it slips.
Yes, produced and emailed from the phone at handover, so the roofer is not sitting in a van for two days waiting for paperwork.
Yes, by council, with cost, duration and expiry per job. The fine for an expired licence lands on you, not on your customer.
Yes, with agreed rates and monthly invoicing. Trade work is the steady half of most scaffolding books and it should not be quoted from scratch each time.
