Checking a scaffolding contractor's competence and insurance

Scaffolding is regulated under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, and erection should follow the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) TG20 guidance for standard configurations or a bespoke design for anything outside it. Look for operatives holding a CISRS (Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme) card, which shows they are trained and assessed, and ask to see public liability insurance before work begins. Membership of NASC or the CHAS accreditation scheme can offer added reassurance for larger or commercial jobs.

Inspections, permits and local considerations

A scaffold must be inspected before first use and then at least every seven days, and again after any event likely to have affected its stability, such as high winds, with records kept by the contractor. If any part of the scaffold sits on a public pavement or road, a licence from Milton Keynes City Council is normally required, and the contractor should arrange this along with any lighting or hoarding. For terraced or shared-boundary properties in areas like Wolverton or Stony Stratford, confirm access arrangements with neighbours early to avoid delays.

How long can scaffolding stay up for a domestic job?

There is no fixed legal limit, and duration is usually set by the hire agreement and how long the building work takes. Most contractors quote a hire period, often around four to eight weeks, with extension charges after that, so it is worth confirming the terms and inspection schedule in writing before work starts.

Do I need a licence for scaffolding on my property?

Scaffolding sited entirely within your own boundary does not normally need a council licence. If it stands on or over a public footpath or road, a pavement licence from Milton Keynes City Council is required, and the scaffolding contractor usually applies for this and factors it into the quote.
