Highlights
“Sunny and the scaffolding team were fantastic, very efficient with absolutely no issues. These guys are like scaffolding artists. Brilliant 10/10. Thanks Sunny”
“Contacted this company after several quotes for scaffolding. They gave the best price. Beating the others by a fair bit. Booked in a good few weeks before needing it. They arrived on time on the day booked. Erected the scaffolding quickly. With no mess created. When we was done. They came and took it away quite quickly as well. If I need any more scaffolding in future. I will definitely be using them again”
“We used Sm Scaffolding recently for the front of the house. Sonny was excellent. He responded quickly, arranged the booking and delivered on time. His team were polite and helpful on site. He was equally helpful in ensuring the scaffolding was removed quickly. And all for a good value price. We will use them again for the back of the house.”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
