Wallingford scaffolders

Scaffolding for a historic Thames town

Wallingford is an old town, with Saxon earthworks, the remains of its castle, a bridge of medieval origin and a Market Place lined with listed buildings. Scaffolding in the centre has to respect all of that: old walls and roofs, narrow streets, and pavements that stay busy while the work goes on.

Our yard in Tidmarsh is a short drive away, up the A329 through Pangbourne and Streatley, so Wallingford is well within our home area. We scaffold homes, shops and historic buildings in the town and cover the villages around it, from Cholsey, Crowmarsh Gifford and Benson to Brightwell-cum-Sotwell and North Stoke. Our heritage work includes a church tower in Newbury, repointed from a full-height scaffold.

FAQs

Scaffolding in Wallingford: your questions

Straight answers to the things people ask before booking scaffolding. Anything else, just call 0800 2086 905 or 07831 197615.

Ask a question

Do you cover Wallingford?

Yes. Wallingford is a short drive from our yard in Tidmarsh, up the A329 through Pangbourne and Streatley, and we cover the town and the villages around it, from Cholsey and Benson to Crowmarsh Gifford and Brightwell-cum-Sotwell.

Do I need a licence for scaffolding in Wallingford?

If the scaffold stands on a pavement or road, yes. Oxfordshire County Council issues scaffold licences in Wallingford as the highway authority. On private land, such as your own driveway or garden, no highway licence is needed. We will confirm which applies at the survey.

My building is listed. Can you scaffold it?

Yes. Wallingford has many listed buildings, especially in and around the Market Place. Before any ties go into the historic fabric, check with South Oxfordshire District Council’s planning team, and we can send them our proposed tie positions beforehand.

Can you work in the town centre without closing the shops?

In most cases, yes. Where the scaffold stands over a shopfront, a raised first lift or lattice beams keep the entrance and pavement clear, with netting above to contain dust and materials, as on the building we scaffolded on Henley high street.

Do you scaffold churches and older buildings?

Yes. Our projects include a church tower in Newbury, scaffolded from the churchyard to above the parapet for repointing, and refurbishment access for an Oxford college. Older buildings need scaffolding that fits their shape and protects their fabric, which we plan at the survey.
