Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers

At Top Tier Scaffolding Ltd, we know arranging scaffolding can raise a few questions — especially if it’s your first time. Below you'll find answers to the most common things we get asked, from permits to pricing. If you can’t find what you need, feel free to get in touch — we’re happy to help.


Do I need a permit for scaffolding?

If the scaffolding is erected on a public footpath, road, or pavement, then yes — a permit is required. Don’t worry, we can arrange this with the local council as part of our service.

How much does scaffolding cost?

Prices vary depending on the size, height, and duration of the job. We offer competitive fixed quotes — simply contact us with your details and we’ll provide a free estimate.

How quickly can you set up the scaffolding?

In most cases, we can erect scaffolding within 1–3 working days from the quote approval. For urgent jobs, contact us and we’ll do our best to fast-track the process.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, Top Tier Scaffolding Ltd is fully insured and all our work is carried out in line with industry safety standards. Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) are available upon request.

Do you do residential and commercial work?

Absolutely. We provide scaffolding for domestic projects (like re-roofing or gutter repairs) as well as commercial jobs including large-scale construction and solar panel installations.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole of Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Coventry, Peterborough, and Birmingham. If you’re just outside of these areas, get in touch — we may still be able to help.

How long can I keep the scaffolding up?

Most jobs allow for 2–6 weeks of scaffold hire, depending on the project. If you need it for longer, just let us know and we’ll discuss an extended hire period.
