Construction Scaffolding

Construction Scaffolding

New build in the Dales always brings something different, here an extension to an existing property required three lifts and a gable end peak to get the construction project off the ground and the building topped-off.

The bricklayers, stonemasons, joiners and roofers all have different needs for each lift, depending on the tasks at each level.  Safety, timing and ease of working space to get the job done are top of the list of prioirities for Highforce Scaffolding.

Proud to help build new homes in Teesdale.

New Build Construction Scaffolding Highforce Barnard Castle


Whether your new building plans are extensions to existing properties, a new stand alone property or an estate of new houses, we have experience in providing new build construction scaffolding to standard and regulatory requirements.

If you are an independent developer, building contractor or large commercial development firm you can be assured we have previously worked extensively on large new build sites for regional construction companies including Persimmon Homes and Bellway Homes developments around the North East.  With a more local focus, we are now supporting construction sites in and around the Dales with flexible Tube and Fitting Scaffolding and Scaffold Hire.

Quotations for new build scaffolding depend on the size of the build, number of lifts, boards, peaks, loading access, duration of project and how many properties are being built that require safely erected scaffold to complete.

Street Licence


Street Licence

Street Licence from Durham County Council

If your property, home or business has a street front onto a pavement or Highway then you will need a street licence granting permission to erect scaffolding and carry out building works from the street.

The licence costs £32.50 per week (2018) and can be arranged by us on your behalf with Durham County Council who charge the fee and oversee the agreement.  We will submit the works plans to them and once approved the project can go ahead.

DCC Street Licence Team process applications quickly, so once submitted approval can often be granted in a day or two.  Although DCC say it can take longer so it's best to get organised ahead of time.  This system applies in other council areas, North Yorkshire and Darlington,  Please contact us for further details.

If you need scaffolding and think you may need a street licence, please feel free to contact us by email hello@highforcescaffolding.co.uk or by telephone 07340 922 386.

Tight Cornering

Barnard Castle is known for its Ginnels, the narrow pathways between houses from the cobbled market to surrounding streets.  At the end of such a Ginnel, where Queen Street meets Birch Road, for the thin pavement scaffolding was tied in to the wall and tucked safely away from vehicles cutting the tight corner.

All the world's a stage ...

Event Staging outdoor for the Summer production of Twelfth Night by the Castle Players that was performed in the grounds of the Bowes Museum.  Another amazing Teesdale location to scaffold in, and being part of the build up to the event added to the enjoyment.



Castle Players' Production Manager Simon Pell said of Highforce Scaffolding's stage, "I thought they did a great job on the scaffolding. I certainly needn't have worried about it blowing away!" The stage set was designed with huge cogs, steam and moving parts, for the novel Steam Punk theme.

Conservation Projects

This was one of a series of scaffolds needed for various maintenance projects around a large and historic property in Barnard Castle. There is always a protruding bay or two to work around on these interesting buildings. That and of course bats to protect and work around; conservation and restoration.

Restoration work at at Teesdale Farm needed access to a far chimney.  The scaffolding tower and access platform up, over and across to a secured platform for the right-hand stack gave another unique view across the dale, this time East towards the sea.

Electricity

Electricity Cable Shrouding

The first thing to remember, if your scaffold will be near electricity cables, is that you will need to book your electricity provider to come and fit safety shrouding to the wires before scaffolding can be put up safely.  They will do this free of charge, but may need up to two weeks' notice.

Moscow design studio Design Depot has created these Raindeer-shaped electrical pylons, see full article here. We like them but think they'd raise an eyebrow here. 


Customer Review Feedback

Having started the farm building renovation I needed the services of a good scaffolder.

I was very fortunate to meet Kevin Ness of Highforce Scaffolding at a friends’ function. After chatting for a while and realising he might be just the person, I asked if he would come and assess the scaffolding needs as the project was not simple and would require a different approach.

Kevin was quick to respond, making a thorough site survey and advising me on the best way to handle the various stages of the renovation from his scaffolding perspective.

A series of competitive quotes were acquired and I chose Kevin’s integrated solution which best met the needs of the project and budget.

His professionalism, competence and speed were apparent from the off and I was very pleased with his work.

I would recommend his company’s work very highly.
