Broomhouse is a residential area in the west of Edinburgh, between Sighthill, Saughton and South Gyle, just south of Corstorphine. Most of it was built as a planned housing scheme in the middle of the last century — terraces, four-in-a-block flats and low-rise blocks — so whole streets have roofs, render and gutters of a similar age.

That suits scaffolding that runs along a terrace or wraps a block, so neighbours can have work done together. We design each scaffold around the building, erect it to SG4 and TG20 guidance and inspect it while it stands, for private customers and trade professionals alike.

Common jobs

What we scaffold in Broomhouse

Terraced houses, four-in-a-block flats and low-rise blocks, mostly of a similar age. Shared roofs and entrances mean a scaffold often has to serve more than one home.

  • Four-in-a-block roofs

    Scaffolding round a block of four flats, so the shared roof can be repaired in one go.

  • Terraces

    A run of scaffold along a terrace, for one home or several neighbours together.

  • Render and gutters

    Full elevation access for re-rendering, with platforms along the roofline for the gutters.

Scaffolding in Broomhouse: your questions

Get in touch
  • Do I need a permit for scaffolding on the pavement in Broomhouse?

    If any part of the scaffold has to stand on a public road or pavement, yes. In Broomhouse the roads authority is the City of Edinburgh Council, and under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 scaffolding on a public road needs its permission. A scaffold that stands entirely within your own boundary doesn’t. Mention it when you enquire so it can be allowed for in the programme.

  • How much does scaffolding cost in Broomhouse?

    There is no standard price. It depends on the height and length of the scaffold, how long it needs to stand and how easy the property is to reach. Tell us what you’re having done and we’ll come back with a clear, competitive price with no hidden costs, arranging a site visit if one is needed.

  • Can you scaffold a four-in-a-block or a shared roof?

    Yes. Where a roof or a block is shared, the scaffold usually has to serve more than one home. Let us know which properties are involved and who is arranging the work, and we’ll design it around the whole building.

  • How soon can you put up scaffolding in Broomhouse?

    It depends on the job and how busy we are, so the best thing is to ask. We travel to Broomhouse from our yard in Airth via the M9 and M8. Tell us in the enquiry form whether the work is urgent or planned for the coming weeks, and we’ll confirm what we can do.

  • Do you cover Sighthill, Saughton, Carrick Knowe and South Gyle?

    Yes. As well as Broomhouse, we cover Sighthill, Saughton, Carrick Knowe and South Gyle and the surrounding area. If you’re not sure whether we cover your location, get in touch — we may still be able to help.
