Mays Scaffolding provides domestic, commercial, and temporary roof scaffolding across West Sussex for homeowners, trades, contractors, and businesses.
We provide scaffolding across the county for homes, commercial properties and construction projects, with services available in coastal towns, larger inland areas and the surrounding villages.
Domestic and commercial scaffolding for maintenance, refurbishment, construction and access requirements across Crawley.
Scaffolding for homes, businesses and building projects in Chichester and nearby towns and villages.
Scaffolding for roofing, decorating, building work and property repairs throughout Worthing and the surrounding area.
A significant part of the county follows the south coast, including Worthing, Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea, Littlehampton and Bognor Regis.
Properties in these areas range from terraced and semi-detached houses to larger seafront buildings, blocks of flats, shops and commercial premises.
Scaffolding may be required for roof repairs, exterior decoration, chimney work, window replacement or wider refurbishment. On more exposed properties, the location and anticipated conditions can also form part of the planning for the scaffold.
Access varies considerably between sites. Some properties have driveways or side access, while others are reached from residential streets or have neighbouring buildings, extensions and lower roofs close to the working area.
Where exterior refurbishment is being carried out, our painting and decorating scaffolding provides working platforms across the required parts of the building.
Moving inland, the surroundings can change considerably.
Areas around Horsham, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Petworth, Midhurst and Billingshurst include established residential neighbourhoods, villages, larger detached properties and more rural sites. Our domestic scaffolders provide access for homes and residential properties requiring roofing, repairs, decorating and building work.
These properties can present different considerations from those in the larger coastal towns. There may be more space around the building, but ground levels, gardens, outbuildings, extensions and the distance materials need to be carried can all affect the installation.
For rural properties and larger plots, it’s also helpful to confirm vehicle access and the route between the unloading point and the building before work begins.
Photographs and project information can often help us understand the site when preparing a quotation, and we can arrange a visit where access or scaffold requirements need more detailed assessment.
Roof work accounts for many of the scaffolds we provide, from smaller repairs to complete roof replacement and substantial refurbishment. Our roofing access scaffolds provide working platforms for roof repairs and replacement work on properties across the county.
Where contractors are working at an exposed roof edge, scaffold handrails and edge protection provide fall protection around the working area.
If a conservatory prevents straightforward access, scaffolding over conservatories can provide working platforms to reach the building beyond it.
For larger roofing and refurbishment projects where sections of the building will be exposed, temporary roof scaffolding provides weather protection while the work is carried out.
This can be particularly useful where existing roof coverings are being removed, or the building is expected to remain exposed during different stages of the project.
Across West Sussex, we provide scaffolding for alterations to existing properties as well as new construction.
Extensions and major renovations can involve several trades as the project progresses. Bricklayers, roofers, window installers, renderers and decorators may all require access at different stages.
On larger projects where trades need regular access between working levels, temporary scaffold stairs can provide dedicated access between scaffolding levels.
Our construction scaffolding provides working platforms around building projects from structural work through to exterior finishing.
We can also work with builders and developers where several properties or phases are involved. If the proposed programme is known beforehand, we can discuss the likely scaffold requirements and sequence of work before installation begins.
Many properties have been altered since they were originally built.
Rear and side extensions, conservatories, garages, porches and lower roofs can affect the position of the scaffold and the route needed to reach an upper elevation or roof.
Changes in ground level can be another consideration, particularly where gardens slope away from the building or the rear of a property sits at a different level from the front.
Our access scaffolding can provide working platforms around difficult areas where a straightforward arrangement is not suitable.
Establishing what contractors need to reach and what lies between ground level and the working position helps us determine what is required. Photographs from several angles can be particularly useful for this type of project.
We also provide scaffolding for shops, offices, managed residential buildings, industrial premises and other commercial properties requiring maintenance, refurbishment or repair.
In Crawley and the larger towns, this can include premises where entrances, parking areas or other parts of the site need to remain accessible while work takes place.
Our commercial scaffolding service provides contractor access for roofing, exterior repairs, decorating and refurbishment, with the arrangement considered around the building and its use.
For managed properties and blocks of flats, access affecting residents and communal entrances can also be discussed before installation.
The cost of scaffolding depends on what is required at the individual property rather than the town alone.
Length and height are important, but so are the number of working levels, platform widths, site access, ground conditions and anything the scaffold needs to span or work around.
A property with clear access along one elevation may therefore have very different requirements from a building with a conservatory, extension or several roof levels.
Temporary roofs, beams, scaffold stairs and other additional components can also change the amount of equipment and labour involved.
Our cost guide explains how scaffolding hire prices vary by structure size, access, working levels and project requirements.
For an accurate quotation, send us the property address, details of the work and photographs from several angles where possible.
Answers to some common questions about arranging scaffolding for properties and projects across London.
Yes. We undertake work in coastal locations including Worthing, Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea, Littlehampton and Bognor Regis. For exposed sites, the location and conditions can be considered when planning the scaffold and during the hire period.
Yes. We can work at properties in villages and rural locations as well as the larger towns. When requesting a quotation, it is useful to tell us about narrow approach roads, gates, restricted vehicle access or a long distance between the unloading point and the property.
Often, yes. Where there is no side or rear access, we will need to establish how scaffold materials can be brought to the required area. The options will depend on the layout and available access at the individual property.
Yes. Scaffolding can be provided for repair and restoration work on older and listed buildings. The arrangement will depend on the property; the work being undertaken and any particular requirements specified for the project.
In many cases, yes. A change in ground level does not automatically prevent scaffolding from being installed, but the actual site conditions need to be considered when determining the appropriate arrangement.
Potentially. Scaffolding that occupies or affects a public pavement or highway can require permission from the relevant highway authority. The requirements can be established once we know the property location and where the scaffold needs to be positioned.
If you need scaffolding for roofing, building work, refurbishment, decorating or property repairs, send us the property location along with a brief description of the work.
Photographs showing the building and the areas that need to be reached are particularly useful. We can then look at the access and scaffold requirements and provide a quotation for your project.
