Whether you need access for a simple roof repair, a full scaffold wrap for a new build, or bespoke access solutions for a complex renovation, we provide scaffolding that meets safety standards and project timelines. We supply and erect scaffolding for domestic and commercial projects across Brighton and East Sussex. As an integrated construction company, our scaffolding is coordinated with the wider build programme — meaning it goes up when needed, adapts as the project progresses, and comes down promptly when complete. Brighton's terraced streets, conservation areas, and coastal locations present unique scaffolding challenges. Restricted pavement access, shared boundaries, listed building requirements, and wind exposure all require careful planning. Our experience working across these environments means we anticipate and solve access problems before they delay your project. All scaffolding is erected to NASC (National Access & Scaffolding Confederation) standards, inspected before use, and regularly checked throughout the project. We handle all necessary licences including pavement licences and road closure permits where public highways are affected. ### Related Services - [Roofing](/services/roofing) - [New Builds](/services/new-builds) - [Extensions](/services/extensions) - [Loft Conversions](/services/loft-conversions) - [Rendering & Plastering](/services/rendering-plastering) ### Areas We Serve - [Brighton](/areas/brighton) - [Worthing](/areas/worthing) - [Eastbourne](/areas/eastbourne) - [Horsham](/areas/horsham) ## What Happens When Scaffolding Is Poorly Managed? Unsafe scaffolding causes falls from height — the single largest cause of death and serious injury in the UK construction industry. HSE data shows that falls from height account for over 25% of fatal construction injuries. Non-compliant scaffolding puts workers and the public at risk. Late scaffolding erection delays entire projects. When scaffolding isn't coordinated with the build programme, trades cannot access the building envelope — delaying roofing, rendering, window installation, and external decoration. Even a few days' delay cascades through the project timeline. Incorrect scaffold design creates access problems mid-project. Scaffold that doesn't account for roof overhangs, chimney stacks, or the need for material loading platforms forces expensive modifications or dangerous workarounds once construction is underway. Scaffolding erected without proper licences on public highways results in council enforcement, fines, and forced removal — causing project delays and additional costs. In Brighton, pavement licences are required whenever scaffolding extends over the public footpath. Our Process ## How We Deliver Every Project 1 ### Site Survey Assessment of access requirements, ground conditions, building dimensions, and any constraints (public highways, restricted access, conservation areas). 2 ### Design & Planning Scaffold design specified to meet project requirements. Licence applications submitted for public highway access. Neighbours notified where appropriate. 3 ### Erection Scaffold erected by trained operatives to NASC standards. Toe boards, guard rails, debris netting, and ladder access installed. Base plates and sole boards on appropriate foundations. 4 ### Inspection & Handover Scaffold inspected before use, with scaffold tag system confirming compliance. Handover to site team with safety briefing. 5 ### Ongoing Inspections Weekly inspections throughout the hire period, with additional checks after adverse weather. Any modifications made as project requirements change. 6 ### Dismantling & Removal Prompt scaffold removal when no longer required. Full site clean-up and reinstatement of any disturbed surfaces. ## Why This Matters for Your Project ### Project-Integrated Scaffolding coordinated with your build programme — erected, modified, and removed to match construction phases without causing delays. ### Fully Compliant All scaffolding meets NASC standards, Work at Height Regulations 2005, and TG20 compliance. Inspected before use and throughout the project. ### All Project Types From single-bay domestic access for roof repairs to full building wraps for new builds — scaled to your project requirements. ### Licence Management We handle all pavement licences, road closure permits, and council notifications required for scaffolding on public highways in Brighton. ### Rapid Turnaround Scaffold erected within 24–48 hours of confirmed requirement for standard domestic projects. Larger structures scheduled into the build programme. ### Adapted to Brighton Experience with narrow terraced streets, conservation area requirements, shared boundaries, and coastal wind exposure across Brighton and East Sussex. ## Scaffolding: Standards, Regulations & Best Practice Scaffolding in the UK must comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005, which require that all work at height is properly planned, supervised, and carried out by competent persons. Scaffolding must be erected, altered, and dismantled by trained operatives under the supervision of a competent person. We ensure full compliance on every project. TG20 (Technical Guidance Note 20) provides the industry standard for tube-and-fitting scaffold design in the UK. For standard configurations up to certain height and loading parameters, TG20 compliance sheets are used. For non-standard or complex structures, a scaffold design engineer produces bespoke calculations. We use the appropriate method for each project. Scaffold inspections are a legal requirement. Initial inspection before first use, then at intervals not exceeding 7 days, and after any event likely to have affected stability (such as high winds or modification). Each inspection is recorded and a scaffold tag system provides visible confirmation of compliance status. In Brighton, scaffolding on public highways requires a pavement licence from Brighton & Hove City Council. The application process typically takes 5–10 working days and requires evidence of public liability insurance, a traffic management plan, and method statement. For road closures, additional permits and advance notification are required. We manage the entire application process. Scaffolding types we provide include independent tied scaffolds (the most common type for domestic and commercial buildings), birdcage scaffolds for internal access in large open spaces, cantilever scaffolds where ground-level access is restricted, and loading bay scaffolds for material handling. The scaffold type is specified based on the building geometry, access requirements, and intended use. Domestic scaffolding costs in Brighton depend on building size and scaffold configuration. A standard 3-bed semi-detached scaffold for a re-roof costs £600–£1,200 for a 6–8 week hire period. Full building wrap for a new build or major renovation costs £2,000–£5,000. Complex access requirements, public highway licences, and extended hire periods are priced individually. When scaffolding is part of a wider construction project with Masters Group, it is included in the project quotation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How much does scaffolding cost in Brighton? ### How quickly can scaffolding be erected? ### Do I need a licence for scaffolding on the pavement? ### Is your scaffolding inspected? ### Can you provide scaffolding as a standalone service? ### Do you handle scaffolding for loft conversions? ### What areas do you cover? ### Can scaffolding be modified during the project? ![Professional construction project — Masters Group building contractors](/assets/cta-bg-CbvIn_eS.jpg) ## Need Scaffolding for Your Project?
