The Short Version

Three Steps. That's It.

1

Tell Us What You Need

Enter your postcode, pick your building type and scaffold configuration using our visual quote builder. Takes under 60 seconds.

2

Compare & Book

See instant, all-inclusive prices from vetted local scaffolders side-by-side. Compare on price, rating, and availability. Pick your favourite.

3

Scaffold Goes Up

Your scaffolder arrives on the agreed date. Confirm the job's done, and we release payment. Your money is protected until you're happy.

Step By Step

The Full Walkthrough

Here's exactly what happens from the moment you land on ScaffLink to the scaffold going up outside your home.

01

Enter Your Postcode

We check which verified scaffolding companies cover your area. If we're not in your area yet, pop your email in and we'll let you know when we are.

02

Pick Your Building Type

Bungalow, semi-detached, detached, terrace, flat, commercial — select yours from a visual grid. Click and go. No forms, no faff.

03

Choose Your Scaffold Setup

Front only? Three sides? Full wrap? Pick the configuration that matches your job from clear visual diagrams. We show you exactly what each option looks like on your building type.

04

Set Dimensions & Duration

Tell us the length and height (we pre-fill sensible defaults based on your building type). Choose your hire period — 2 weeks to 12 weeks. Extension rates are shown upfront so there are no surprises.

05

Add Any Extras

Need a conservatory bridge-over? Debris netting? Scaffold alarm? Pavement licence? Tick what you need — prices shown instantly. Don't know what they are? Every extra has a tooltip explaining when it's needed.

06

Compare Quotes Instantly

ScaffLink pulls prices from every scaffolder in your area and shows them side-by-side. Total price, hire period, extension rate, star rating, distance from site, and accreditations — all on one screen.

07

Book & Pay Securely

Pick the quote you like and pay securely via Stripe. Your money is held in escrow — the scaffolder only gets paid after the job is confirmed complete. Full protection, zero risk.

08

Scaffold Goes Up, You Confirm

Your scaffolder arrives on the agreed date and erects the scaffold. They upload photos as proof. You hit confirm in your dashboard (or we auto-confirm after 48 hours). Payment is released and everyone's happy.

FAQs

Common Questions

How much does scaffolding cost?

It depends on the building type, scaffold configuration, and hire duration. A simple single-side scaffold on a semi-detached house starts from around £400 for 4 weeks. Use our quote builder for an instant price specific to your job.

Is my payment protected?

Yes. When you pay through ScaffLink, your money is held in escrow by Stripe. The scaffolding company only receives payment after you confirm the scaffold has been erected. If they don't show up, you get a full refund.

What if I need the scaffold for longer?

No problem. You can extend your hire through your dashboard at any time. The weekly extension rate is shown when you book so you know exactly what it'll cost. Your scaffolder is notified automatically.

Are the scaffolders vetted?

Every scaffolder on ScaffLink is verified before they can receive jobs. We check their public liability insurance (minimum £5m), employer's liability insurance, and CISRS cards for their operatives.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. Cancel 48+ hours before your erection date for a full refund minus a £25 admin fee. Cancellations within 48 hours receive a 50% refund. After erection, refunds are not available as the service has been delivered.
