Cambridge scaffolding — your questions answered
Do I need a pavement licence for scaffolding in Cambridge?
If the scaffold stands on a public footway or road, a highways licence is needed from Cambridgeshire County Council. We arrange this and handle the paperwork so your scaffold is legal from day one.
Can you work on listed or conservation-area buildings?
Yes. We regularly scaffold period and listed properties in and around Cambridge, taking extra care to protect the building and meet any conditions.
How much does scaffolding cost in Cambridge?
It depends on height, the length of the run, duration and access. We give clear, no-obligation quotes with no hidden extras — send us a few details for a fast price.
