Scaffolding for Every Type of Wellington Home

Wellington's housing stock is diverse — from single-storey brick bungalows in the Hutt Valley to multi-storey timber villas on steep Aro Valley hillsides. Each type requires a different approach.

Single-storey homes — Straightforward perimeter scaffolding or edge protection, typically erected in one day.

Two-storey homes — Full lift scaffolding with access to all exterior surfaces. Most common setup for reroofing and full exterior repaints.

Hillside properties — Wellington's steep sections require extended legs, adjustable base plates, and sometimes custom solutions to achieve a level working platform. We've done hundreds of these.

Heritage villas — We take extra care around heritage properties, protecting spouting, weatherboards, and character features during setup and dismantle.

What's Included in Our Residential Scaffolding Hire

  • Full perimeter scaffolding with WorkSafe-compliant handrails and kick boards
  • Access ladders at appropriate intervals
  • Loading bays for paint, roofing materials, or tools
  • Weekly hire at a fixed rate — no surprise extras
  • Dismantle and removal once the job is complete
  • Flexible hire periods to match your builder or painter's schedule

We Coordinate with Your Trades

One of the biggest pain points in residential projects is timing. Your roofer turns up and the scaffolding isn't ready. Or the scaffolding goes up but the painter can't start for two weeks.

We solve this by communicating directly with your builder, roofer, or painter. We agree on setup dates that work for everyone, and if the job runs long, we can extend the hire with a phone call.

Areas Covered

We provide residential scaffolding across Wellington city, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, Tawa, Kapiti Coast, Paraparaumu, Waikanae, and Wairarapa including Masterton and Carterton.
