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

    If any part of the scaffold has to stand on a public road or pavement, yes. In Corstorphine 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 Corstorphine?

    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 above the shops on St John’s Road?

    Yes. On a tenement above shops we design the scaffold so the shops can stay open and people can pass safely underneath. Because it stands on the pavement, it will need a permit from the City of Edinburgh Council.

  • How soon can you put up scaffolding in Corstorphine?

    It depends on the job and how busy we are, so the best thing is to ask. We travel to Corstorphine from our yard in Airth along the M9 and A8. 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 Clermiston, East Craigs, Murrayfield and the Gyle?

    Yes. As well as Corstorphine, we cover Clermiston, East Craigs, Murrayfield and the 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.
