About Scaffolding In London
London's housing stock — from Victorian terraces in Hackney to Georgian townhouses in Kensington — means scaffolding is in constant demand for roof repairs, loft conversions, rendering, and exterior painting. ScaffLink connects you with verified, insured London scaffolders and gives you an instant price without a single phone call.
Whether you're in Zone 1 or the outer boroughs, most domestic scaffolding jobs in London cost between £400 and £2,500 depending on the property size and scaffold configuration. If your property fronts a public road, you'll likely need a pavement licence from your local council — ScaffLink can arrange this as part of your booking.

Do I need a pavement licence?
If your scaffolding extends onto a public pavement, footpath, or road, you'll need a pavement licence from your local council. The cost is typically £80–£200 depending on the duration and location. When you book through ScaffLink, you can add a pavement licence as an extra and we'll handle the application for you.
What's included in the price?
All prices on ScaffLink are all-inclusive. They cover delivery of materials, erection by CISRS-certified scaffolders, the hire period (usually 4 weeks), and dismantling and removal. Extras like debris netting, scaffold alarms, or pavement licences are priced separately and can be added during booking.
What if I need the scaffolding for longer?
You can extend your hire directly through your ScaffLink dashboard. Extension rates are typically £50–£120 per additional week depending on the scaffold size. You'll see the exact rate before you book, and we send reminders 7 days and 2 days before your hire period ends.
