Brentwood pays for a tidy job. Shenfield and Hutton are full of loft conversions and roof replacements on houses that sit close to the neighbour. We survey the drive, the boundary and the pavement before we promise a Monday erect.
The High Street and the conservation frontages need Essex Highways if the scaffold occupies the public highway. We would rather add a week for the licence than put a gang on a street we cannot legally hold.
Warley and the larger plots are easier ground, still quoted as erect, weekly hire and strike so an overrun does not become an argument.
Typical jobs
- Loft conversions and full roof scaffolds
- High Street and occupied commercial
- Chimney, gable and rear-extension access
Licences and access
Essex Highways licences in the town centre. Shenfield station-side streets are tight for lorries — we check turning before we book the gang.
