Edge Protection — Membrane Roof Replacement, HNRY Stadium
We had the privilege of providing edge protection for the membrane roof replacement at HNRY Stadium, Wellington.

All backed by competitive pricing, quality workmanship, and reliable service. Showing up on time, finding the best site-specific solution, and making every job run smoothly is what we do best — whether it's a straightforward residential roof or a landmark stadium project.

Real Scaffolders, Real Results. Tube and clip scaffolding up and done in Seatoun before the busy week ahead — residential extension at framing stage, giving the framers, roofers and cladding team safe access across every level. NZ-qualified team with experience from hanging scaffolds to mining projects, top of the North Island to the bottom of the South. SiteWise Gold 2026/27.

Full Reclad, Windows & Reroof Scaffolding — Oriental Bay / Mt Victoria
Cheers to Tai and Jash for smashing out this monster in a day — despite that classic Windy Welly weather. Full reclad, window replacement, and reroof scaffolding on a complex Mt Victoria hillside property: full perimeter access for the recladding team, dedicated window replacement platforms at each opening, and WorkSafe NZ-compliant edge protection on the upper lifts for the reroofing crew. Multi-level, multi-trade, steep section — all erected in a single day. SiteWise Gold 2026/27. Call 0800 ERECT IT (027 886 6688) for a free Wellington scaffolding quote.
Exterior Restoration Scaffolding — Strathmore Park
The team has put in a massive effort this week on an Exterior Restoration project in Strathmore Park. Great to see our valued client making solid progress — we're proud to be part of the job. Full multi-level perimeter scaffolding across every elevation of this two-storey Wellington property, giving the trades safe, WorkSafe NZ-compliant access for the full exterior restoration. Strathmore Park's coastal exposure means wind loading is always a factor — additional tie-in points and bracing are standard practice for our Wellington coastal suburb installations. SiteWise Gold 2026/27 certified. Do you have the right scaffolding team supporting your project? Think again. Call the experts — 0800 ERECT IT (027 886 6688) for a free Wellington scaffolding quote.
Commercial Scaffolding — Wild Oats Cafe
Sharp pricing, top quality — our team recently completed this commercial scaffolding installation at Wild Oats Cafe in Carterton, providing safe and reliable access for upcoming exterior works. Full perimeter scaffolding across the building facade, WorkSafe NZ compliant platforms, and the whole system erected and ready for the exterior trades before they arrived on site. The Erect It branded banners are visible from the main road through Carterton — exactly how a professional scaffolding installation should look. We cover all of Wairarapa including Carterton, Masterton, Greytown, and Martinborough, with travel always included upfront in your quote. Call Dhillon on 027 886 6688 for a free Wairarapa scaffolding quote.
Steep Hillside Residential Scaffolding — Rubbish Chute, Stair Tower & Loading Bay, Island Bay
One of the most technically demanding residential scaffolding hire jobs we've completed in Wellington — a steep hillside property in Island Bay where the house sits high above the road on a near-vertical cliff face. Standard scaffolding wasn't going to cut it here. Our team designed and erected a full multi-level scaffolding structure climbing the entire hillside, with three specialist systems integrated into the build: a rubbish chute running the full length of the cliff from the top working platform down to a skip at road level, a dedicated stair access tower so the building trades could safely walk materials and tools up and down the site, and a loading bay at road level for receiving deliveries. The Erect It Scaffolding signage visible in the photo shows the scale of the structure — this is the kind of scaffolding hire Wellington hillside jobs demand, where the terrain is the main challenge and off-the-shelf solutions simply don't work. Every trade on site had safe, compliant access from day one, with a WorkSafe NZ handover certificate issued before anyone set foot on the scaffolding. SiteWise Gold 2026/27 certified. If your Wellington property is on a steep section — Island Bay, Hataitai, Mt Victoria, Brooklyn, or anywhere else in the city — call Dhillon on 027 886 6688 for a free quote on hillside scaffolding hire.
Custom Scaffolding Tower — Goal System Installation, Hutt City Council Aquatic Centre
One of the coolest and most unique projects we've been involved in — a custom freestanding scaffolding tower inside the Hutt City Council aquatic centre at Naenae Pool for the installation of new goal systems at significant height above the competition pool. Working inside an operational aquatic facility brought challenges no residential scaffolding job ever does: protecting the pool environment, working around lane infrastructure, distributing load across a sensitive pool deck without point loading, and designing a fully self-supporting tower structure with no external tie points. Our team used extended base jacks with rubber base plates and sole boards, full internal diagonal bracing at every lift, and tool tethering throughout to ensure nothing reached the water. The installation team had a stable, compliant, WorkSafe-certified platform that let them complete the ceiling-level fixings safely and on schedule. Projects like this showcase the full range of what scaffolding can do when it's designed around the environment rather than off the shelf. If your project needs a custom access solution — call Dhillon on 027 886 6688.
Scaffolding Tower — Crew Working at Height, Naenae Aquatic Centre
Our crew at work — three of our scaffolders positioned at different levels of the custom tower we built inside the Naenae Pool aquatic centre for Hutt City Council. You can see the full height of the structure, the multiple working lifts, and the guard rails on the top working platform. The pool lanes are clearly visible below. This image captures the kind of precision and teamwork required to safely erect a scaffolding tower inside a live aquatic facility — coordinating every lift carefully so that the structure remained stable and nothing was at risk of falling into the pool. The installation team used the top platform to fix the new goal systems to the ceiling structure, completing the project safely and on time. We cover all commercial and industrial scaffolding across Lower Hutt, Wellington, and the Hutt Valley — call 027 886 6688 for a free quote on any unusual or complex access project.
New Residential Showhome — Plimmerton Subdivision
Scaffolding solutions for a new residential showhome build in Plimmerton's newest subdivision. At Erect It Scaffolding, we take pride in building sharp-looking scaffolds that complement the professionalism of every project — because a tidy, well-built scaffolding not only improves safety and productivity but keeps your site looking professional from start to finish. Full perimeter access, staged lifts to match the build programme, and a WorkSafe NZ handover certificate before any work at height commenced. Based right here in Plimmerton, we're the local scaffolding company for Porirua, Whitby, Paremata, and the Kapiti Coast. Call Dhillon on 027 886 6688 for a free quote.
Temporary Roof Shrinkwrap — Asbestos Removal & Reroof, Avalon Primary School
Full temporary roof scaffolding and shrinkwrap encapsulation completed at Avalon Primary School in Lower Hutt — supporting critical asbestos removal and a complete re-roofing programme. The entire roof was encapsulated in heavy-duty shrinkwrap, creating a fully weatherproofed and contained workspace that kept the site safe, dry, and compliant throughout the hazardous material removal and reroof process. Schools and commercial buildings across Lower Hutt, Wellington, and the wider region trust Erect It Scaffolding to deliver these complex temporary roof systems on time and to specification. Call 0800 ERECT IT for scaffolding shrinkwrap solutions in Lower Hutt and Wellington.
Scaffolding Shrinkwrap Frame — Temporary Roof Installation in Progress
Mid-installation aerial view of the temporary roof scaffolding frame going up over Avalon Primary School in Lower Hutt. The scaffolding structure was engineered to span the full roof footprint, providing a rigid framework for the shrinkwrap encapsulation that followed. This stage shows the precision required to install a temporary roof system over an occupied school site — coordinating with the asbestos removal and roofing contractors throughout. If your Lower Hutt or Wellington project requires a temporary roof scaffolding or shrinkwrap encapsulation, call 0800 ERECT IT for a free consultation and quote.
New Residential Build — Framing Stage Scaffolding, Aerial View
Framing's up in Upper Hutt — and the Erect It crew had this scaffolding wrapped and ready in no time to keep the build rolling safely and smoothly. This aerial drone shot shows the full scaffolding perimeter wrapped tight around the slab during the framing stage, giving the crew safe, compliant access on every elevation as the frame went up. Custom scaffolding designed for framing access — built for safety, speed, and support. Upper Hutt new builds are a core part of our workload. We cover Trentham, Heretaunga, Silverstream, Te Marua, Maoribank, and all of Upper Hutt with no travel surcharge. Call Dhillon on 027 886 6688 for a same-day quote.

Sharp site access solutions for a new residential build in Carterton, Wairarapa — the Erect It crew (ER3CT on the plates) on site from the ground up.

New Garage Build — Scaffolding Erection, Weld Street
Our crew was out in Martinborough this week providing scaffolding solutions for a new garage build on Weld Street — a clean residential project that got the full Erect It treatment. Layher system scaffolding erected to the correct height, guardrails and mid-rails on every elevation, WorkSafe NZ handover certificate issued before the trades went up. Martinborough is about an hour east of Wellington through the Remutaka, and it's exactly the kind of job we love — a smaller project in a great part of New Zealand, done to the same standard as anything we build in Wellington CBD. No job too big or too small. SiteWise Gold 2026/27 certified. We cover all of Wairarapa including Martinborough, Greytown, Carterton, Featherston, and Masterton — call 027 886 6688 for a free quote on any Wairarapa scaffolding job.
Scaffolding Shrinkwrap Temporary Roof — Aerial View
Aerial drone view of a completed scaffolding shrinkwrap temporary roof — the entire building encapsulated in heavy-duty white shrinkwrap, surrounded by native NZ bush. This system creates a fully weatherproofed workspace that lets roofing, recladding, and asbestos removal crews work continuously regardless of Wellington's weather. The scaffolding structure supports the wrap and provides safe multi-level access across the full footprint. You can see the scaffolding perimeter frame around the edges and a crew member in the orange hi-vis — a reminder this is a live, working structure. Shrinkwrap temporary roofs are increasingly specified across Wellington for complex reclads, reroofs, and heritage restorations where weather exposure or hazardous materials require complete site containment. Call 027 886 6688 to discuss a shrinkwrap solution for your project.
Rolling Roof Shrinkwrap System — 18m × 18m, 12m High
One of our most complex scaffolding shrinkwrap projects to date — a fully engineered Rolling Roof system covering an 18m × 18m footprint at 12m high on Nicholson Road in Khandallah. Working with Altrad's engineering team and our own experienced crew, we designed and erected the full system within a week despite tight driveway access, no crane access, and steeply sloping ground. Classic Wellington terrain — and exactly what we do best. This temporary roof system created a fully weatherproofed workspace for a major residential renovation, keeping the project moving through Wellington's unpredictable weather. The same Rolling Roof technology is used for large-scale outdoor events and commercial enclosures. If your Wellington project needs a weatherproof solution at scale, this is it.
New Residential Build — Full Perimeter Scaffolding, Trentham
Full perimeter scaffolding for a new residential build in Trentham, Upper Hutt — one of the fastest-growing new-build corridors in the Wellington region. The scaffolding was erected to provide safe, multi-level access for framers and cladders throughout the build programme, with our branded boards clearly in place from day one. Trentham and the wider Upper Hutt area has seen strong residential development in recent years, and Erect It is a regular presence on new build sites throughout the region — from Trentham and Heretaunga through to Silverstream, Te Marua, and Maoribank. We stage our scaffolding lifts to match the build schedule, so framing, cladding, and roofing crews always have safe access exactly when they need it. SiteWise Gold certified, no travel surcharge to Upper Hutt.
New Residential Build — Aerial View, Trentham
Aerial drone shot of a new residential build in Trentham, Upper Hutt — the full scaffolding perimeter is visible wrapping the entire footprint of the house. This bird's-eye view shows how a well-planned scaffolding system supports every stage of construction: the framing and cladding crews have safe, continuous access across all elevations simultaneously, keeping the build programme moving without interruption. Upper Hutt residential new builds are a core part of our workload — we understand the local terrain, the build types, and the timeframes that contractors and project managers expect. If you're building in Trentham, Heretaunga, Silverstream, Maoribank, or anywhere in Upper Hutt, get in touch for a same-day quote.
New Residential Build — Framing Stage Scaffolding, Evening Light
Full perimeter scaffolding wrapped around a new residential build at the framing stage — captured at golden hour with a clear blue sky. The scaffolding gives the framing crew safe, compliant access across every elevation as the house takes shape, with edge protection in place from day one. New build scaffolding is one of our most active services across the Wellington region — we stage our scaffolding lifts to match the build programme, so framers, cladders, and roofers always have what they need exactly when they need it. No travel premium across the Wellington and Hutt Valley region. WorkSafe NZ handover certificate on every job. SiteWise Gold 2026/27 certified. Call 027 886 6688 for a free new build scaffolding quote.
Scaffolding Shrinkwrap — Full Reclad, Reroof & Windows
Full scaffolding shrinkwrap encapsulation completed for a major reclad, reroof, and new window installation in Khandallah, Wellington. The entire building was encapsulated in heavy-duty shrinkwrap, creating a fully weatherproofed working environment that allowed the cladding, roofing, and window trades to work continuously regardless of Wellington's famously unpredictable weather. The scaffolding structure carries the load of the wrap system and provides safe multi-level access across the full footprint of the property. Shrinkwrap is increasingly specified on reclad projects across Wellington — particularly in hillside suburbs like Khandallah, Ngaio, and Karori where weather exposure is significant and project programmes need to be protected. If your project can't afford rain delays, this is the solution.
Industrial Edge Protection — Z Station Fuel Tank Installation
A tailored edge protection solution for the installation of new underground fuel tanks at Z Station Mana. When it comes to industrial works, safety is non-negotiable — our team made sure the excavation site was fully compliant and secure, providing WorkSafe-standard edge protection around the open pit throughout the fuel tank installation. With heavy machinery operating in the excavation below and active forecourt operations continuing nearby, the scaffolding edge protection system kept the crew safe and the project on schedule. This is the type of specialised industrial scaffolding we deliver across Wellington, Porirua, and the Kapiti Coast — built right, compliant every time.
Dessa Temporary Roof System
Our team installing a Dessa temporary roof system in Khandallah on a stunning Wellington day — with the harbour and CBD spread out below. The Dessa system creates a fully enclosed, weatherproof roof structure over the scaffolding, allowing construction and renovation work to continue uninterrupted regardless of Wellington's notoriously unpredictable weather. Unlike standard shrinkwrap, the Dessa system provides a rigid, engineered roof structure that can span larger footprints and carry greater loads — making it ideal for complex reroof, reclad, and construction projects where full overhead protection is required. If your Wellington project can't afford to stop for rain, this is the system that keeps it moving.
Cladding Repair & Repaint Scaffolding
A full exterior cladding repair and repaint project on a modern multi-level home in Belmont, Lower Hutt. With difficult roof angles, elevated working areas, and limited access around outdoor living spaces, the scaffolding was designed to provide painters and builders with safe, efficient access to every elevation. Multiple working platforms and secure ladder access allowed contractors to complete cladding repairs, preparation work, and exterior painting safely — with minimal disruption to the homeowner. Belmont hillside properties like this are a regular part of our work in the Hutt Valley, and this job is a great example of what a well-planned scaffolding system can deliver on a complex site.
Exterior Painting Scaffolding — Multi-Level Home
Sharp, safe, and professionally presented — this exterior painting scaffolding in Plimmerton is a great example of the access solutions we deliver every week across Porirua and the Kapiti Coast. Multi-level working platforms provided continuous safe access across all elevations of this home, giving the painting crew everything they needed to work efficiently without ladders. The site stayed clean, organised, and clearly branded throughout the job. We're the go-to scaffolding company for painters in Plimmerton, Paremata, Titahi Bay, Whitby, and the wider Porirua area — competitive pricing, 24-hour quotes, and reliable setup that keeps your painting schedule on track.
Exterior Painting Scaffolding — Mount Victoria Villa
Mount Victoria is one of Wellington's tightest suburbs — narrow streets, steep sections, and heritage villas packed closely together. This exterior painting project required careful planning to erect a full multi-level scaffolding with minimal footprint, giving the painting crew safe continuous access across the full facade without impacting the neighbours or the street. Three of our crew are pictured working in sync to get the system up efficiently. We handle tight-access residential jobs like this all the time across central Wellington suburbs — Thorndon, Newtown, Aro Valley, Kelburn, Te Aro, and Island Bay. If your painter says access is tricky, that's exactly where we shine.
New Residential Build — Team on Site
Our Wellington-based team arriving on site at a new residential build — scaffolding loaded and ready to go. This is typical of the jobs we run across the greater Wellington region every week. From Karori to Khandallah, Newlands to Ngaio, we provide punctual, professional scaffolding for new builds, extensions, and multi-trade projects. Our crew works closely with framers, cladders, and roofers to keep the job moving. SiteWise Gold 2026/27 certified and fully insured — every time.
Indoor Commercial Scaffolding
Interior commercial scaffolding is one of our specialist services — and this Wellington CBD job is a great example of what we can deliver. Working inside an active building, we designed a bespoke scaffolding system to provide safe access for contractors while maintaining pedestrian clearance. Safety mesh, padded uprights, and branded toe-boards were all part of the package. Whether it's a car park, a warehouse, a school hall, or a public building, our team plans every internal scaffolding around your site constraints and WorkSafe requirements.
Temporary Roof Scaffolding & Shrinkwrap
This aerial shot shows a full temporary roof scaffolding and shrinkwrap encapsulation we completed in Lower Hutt — one of the more complex projects our team handles. The shrinkwrap system provided total weather protection across the entire roof footprint, allowing re-roofing and hazardous material removal to continue safely through Wellington's notoriously unpredictable weather. We regularly deliver these systems for schools, commercial buildings, and heritage properties across Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, and the wider Wellington region. If your project can't afford rain delays, this is the solution.
Painters Scaffolding — 2-Storey Weatherboard
A full perimeter scaffolding on a two-storey weatherboard home in Paremata, Porirua — set up specifically for an exterior repaint by Capital Painting Services. Multi-level scaffolding boards gave painters continuous safe access across the full elevation without the need for ladders or mobile towers. We're the preferred scaffolding subcontractor for painters throughout the Porirua and Kapiti region, including Paremata, Plimmerton, Whitby, Titahi Bay, Pukerua Bay, Paekākāriki, and Paraparaumu. We price painter jobs competitively and turn around quotes within 24 hours — so you can keep your painting schedule on track.
Edge Protection — Ocean Beach Road
WorkSafe-compliant edge protection installed on a residential property on Ocean Beach Road in Wairarapa. Edge protection is legally required on any residential roof work in New Zealand, and we make it straightforward and affordable to comply — even in rural and coastal Wairarapa locations. This system was set up efficiently and provided a full perimeter barrier for the roofing team for the duration of the job. We regularly supply and install edge protection throughout Wairarapa, including Martinborough, Masterton, Carterton, Greytown, and the Palliser Bay coastline — with no travel surcharge.
New Build Scaffolding — Multi-Storey
Two of our Upper Hutt scaffolding crew erecting a full scaffolding system at a multi-storey residential new build. New builds are one of our most common jobs in the Hutt Valley — with Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt seeing strong residential development over recent years. We work hand-in-hand with the main contractor to stage scaffolding lifts that keep pace with the build programme, ensuring framers, cladders, and roofers always have safe access when they need it. We cover all of Upper Hutt, Silverstream, Heretaunga, and Trentham with no travel surcharge.
New Build Scaffolding — Martinborough
A new timber frame build in Martinborough, Wairarapa — with full scaffolding from foundation to ridge. This job involved multiple scaffolding lifts as the frame rose, giving the framing and cladding teams safe, uninterrupted access throughout. We cover all of Wairarapa, including Martinborough, Masterton, Carterton, and Greytown, with no travel surcharge. If you're building or renovating in Wairarapa and struggling to find a scaffolding company willing to make the trip, we're your answer. We visit Wairarapa regularly and offer the same professional service our Wellington clients expect.
Industrial Safety Nets — Commercial Site
Safety net installation on a large commercial timber frame structure in Wellington — providing fall arrest protection across multiple floor levels during the frame-up phase. Safety nets are increasingly specified on Wellington commercial projects as a cost-effective alternative to full perimeter scaffolding during structural framing. Our team is trained and certified in safety net installation and can deploy them quickly to keep your programme moving. We supply and install safety nets across Wellington, Porirua, Lower Hutt, and Upper Hutt for commercial builders, developers, and principal contractors.
Scaffolding on a Wellington Heritage Villa
Scaffolding on a classic Wellington villa in Aro Valley — complete with full perimeter access for exterior restoration and repainting. Aro Valley, like many inner-Wellington suburbs, is home to heritage villas that require careful scaffolding solutions due to tight sections, steep driveways, and neighbouring properties. Our team is experienced working in Wellington's most challenging urban environments — Aro Valley, Kelburn, Te Aro, Thorndon, and Mount Victoria. We plan every inner-city job carefully to minimise impact on neighbours and deliver a scaffolding that gives your trades everything they need to do the job properly.
Scaffolding Across the Greater Wellington Region
Erect It Scaffolding Services Ltd is based in Plimmerton and operates across the entire Greater Wellington region — including Wellington City, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, the Kapiti Coast, and Wairarapa. Every project in our gallery was completed by our own SiteWise Gold 2026/27 certified team, using our own equipment.
Wellington City: We work regularly in Wellington's inner suburbs — Thorndon, Te Aro, Aro Valley, Mount Victoria, Newtown, Kilbirnie, Karori, and Khandallah. Wellington's hilly terrain and tight urban sections require careful planning, and our team has the experience to deliver safe, tidy scaffolding solutions even on the most challenging sites.
Upper Hutt: Upper Hutt is one of our most active areas for residential new builds. We work regularly in Trentham, Heretaunga, Silverstream, Te Marua, Maoribank, and throughout Upper Hutt City.

Kapiti Coast: From Paekākāriki and Raumati through to Paraparaumu, Waikanae, and Ōtaki — we cover the full Kapiti Coast corridor. Many Kapiti homeowners and builders use us as their go-to scaffolding company because we offer the same fast response and fair pricing as a local operator, backed by Wellington-level experience.
Wairarapa: We service all of Wairarapa, including Masterton, Carterton, Greytown, and Martinborough. If you've struggled to find a scaffolding company willing to travel to Wairarapa, we're your answer. We make regular runs to the region and charge no travel surcharge.
