Aldershot scaffolders
From Victorian terraces to a film set
Aldershot grew up as a Victorian army town, and much of it still shows it: terraces and villas near the centre, military buildings, and newer neighbourhoods such as Wellesley on former army land. We scaffold homes, shops and commercial buildings across the town, from re-roofs and chimneys to refurbishment and new builds.
Not every scaffold goes up against a building. For a film production in Aldershot, we built a tall, free-standing scaffold frame running the length of the set, several bays deep and braced from behind with raking supports, to carry a green-screen backdrop on an open site with nothing to tie into. It is the kind of one-off structure that has to be designed to stand on its own.

Scaffolding in Aldershot: your questions
Straight answers to the things people ask before booking scaffolding. Anything else, just call 0800 2086 905 or 07831 197615.
Ask a questionWhat did you build for the film set in Aldershot?
A tall, free-standing scaffold frame running the length of the set, several bays deep, with raking buttresses along the back to keep it stable and the standards on base plates and timber pads across the tarmac. It carried a green-screen backdrop, with the film crew’s set pieces built in front of it.
Do I need a scaffold licence in Aldershot?
Only if the scaffold stands on a pavement or road. In Aldershot that licence comes from Hampshire County Council, while Ash, Ash Vale and Farnham, over the border, are licensed by Surrey County Council. We will tell you at the survey whether your site needs one.
Can you build free-standing scaffolds for events or filming?
Yes. Where there is no building to tie into, the scaffold has to be designed to stand on its own, with bracing or buttresses as the design requires. Tell us what the structure has to carry and where it will stand, and we will work out the design.
Do you scaffold houses in Aldershot?
Yes. We scaffold homes across the town for re-roofs, chimneys, extensions, loft conversions and redecoration, from Victorian terraces near the centre to newer houses in Wellesley.
How far are you from Aldershot?
Our yard is in Tidmarsh, just west of Reading. Aldershot is within easy reach, and we cover the town and the Surrey villages just over the border.
