Scaffolding FAQ
Q: How much does scaffolding cost?
A: This completely depends upon your individual requirements. Certain factors vary from domestic job to job, for example, the amount of scaffolding you need, the length of the project and how difficult it is to erect.

Q: What's better, aluminium or steel?
A: Both aluminium and steel have their benefits. The biggest advantage of aluminium is its weight in comparison to steel, meaning that the scaffolding is quicker to erect and dismantle. It is best suited to those who only need the scaffolding for a short amount of time. Steel is stronger and more stable and thus more suited to difficult terrain, long periods of time and the winter months with hazardous weather. It is a lot heavier than aluminium and so takes longer to put up and dismantle.

A: Definitely. At Direct Scaffolding we pride ourselves on the accuracy of our work and so we tailor our services to your individual needs.

Q: CAN I USE SCAFFOLDING ON SLOPING OR UNEVEN GROUND?
A: Yes, scaffolding is fantastic in that it can sit on uneven ground thanks to its adjustable vertical components which allows us to tackle any irregularities in the ground.
