Local Insight

In London, scaffolding on public footpaths requires a pavement licence from the council (£100–£500 depending on borough). Your scaffolder should arrange this. Scaffolding typically stays up for 2–8 weeks depending on the project. Always ensure your scaffolder has CISRS-trained operatives and public liability insurance of at least £5 million.
