"Erect It Scaffolding were sensational throughout the process. From initial site visit and super speedy quote turnaround, flexibility towards scaffolding adjustments and overall professionalism and extensive scaffolding experience. Dismantling and pack down was efficient and hassle free. We highly recommended Dhillion and his team from Erect It for all job types and scaffolding challenges and will definitely be using them again."

"Received very friendly service from Dhillon and his team. When we needed to adjust the scaffolding on one side of the house to better reach a certain spot, the team came out and did what was required. We also ended up needing the scaffolding for a few weeks longer than originally agreed due to weather and illness, which wasn't a problem and took some pressure off. Would recommend and will use again."

Our Suppliers & Accreditations










Wellington's Trusted Scaffolding Company
What sets Erect It Scaffolding apart from every other scaffolding company in Wellington.
Owner on Every Job
Dhillon — the owner of Erect It Scaffolding — personally oversees every scaffold. No subcontractors, no junior crew left to manage complex jobs unsupervised. You deal with the person who cares most about the outcome.
SiteWise Gold 2026/27
New Zealand's highest contractor prequalification. Required by Naylor Love, Arrow International, Fletcher Construction, and all major Wellington principal contractors. Most small local scaffolding companies don't hold it.
WorkSafe Cert on Every Job
A WorkSafe NZ compliant handover certificate is included on every scaffold as standard — not as an extra. Required before any trade (painter, roofer, solar installer) can legally start work at height.
5.0 Stars · 66 Reviews
Every review is from a real Wellington homeowner, builder, or contractor. 5.0 stars across 66 reviews — verified on Google. No paid placements, no fake reviews.
Free Quote in 24 Hours
We respond to every enquiry within 24 hours — often same day. You get an itemised, fixed-price quote. No verbal estimates, no surprises on invoice day.
Based in Wellington
Based in Plimmerton, central to the entire Greater Wellington region. We know Wellington's hills, terrain, wind, and access challenges better than any out-of-town scaffolding company.
As Wellington's leading scaffolding company, we understand that every project — from a residential repaint in Karori to a commercial build in the Wellington CBD — requires a safe, compliant scaffold erected by qualified professionals. Every scaffold we erect meets WorkSafe NZ requirements, and every customer receives a formal handover certificate before work at height begins.
Residential Scaffolding
Erect It Scaffolding is Wellington's go-to scaffolding company for residential work. We erect safe, compliant scaffolding for house painters, roofers, solar installers, window replacement specialists, recladding contractors, and DIY homeowners across all Wellington suburbs.
Wellington's terrain presents unique challenges — steep hillside sections in Khandallah, Karori, Mt Victoria, Aro Valley, and Brooklyn require specialist knowledge and the right equipment. We've worked across every Wellington suburb and terrain type. No project is too complex. Every residential job includes a WorkSafe NZ handover certificate as standard.
- House painting scaffolding
- Reroofing scaffold & edge protection
- Solar panel installation access
- New build staging
- Recladding & renovation scaffolding
- Steep hillside sections


Commercial Scaffolding
For commercial projects across Wellington's CBD, suburban centres, and industrial precincts, Erect It Scaffolding provides professional commercial scaffold solutions. We hold SiteWise Gold 2026/27 — the highest NZ contractor prequalification — meaning we're approved to work on principal contractor sites alongside Naylor Love, Arrow International, Fletcher Construction, and Wellington City Council projects.
Our commercial scaffolding team works to your construction programme and provides all compliance documentation for your site safety file. Whether you're managing a multi-storey refurbishment in Thorndon or a heritage building repair in Te Aro, our professional scaffolders understand the requirements of complex commercial sites in Wellington.
- Multi-storey commercial scaffold
- Heritage building access
- Wellington CBD projects
- Site safety file compliance docs
- Programme coordination
- SiteWise Gold certified
Industrial Scaffolding
Industrial scaffolding demands a higher standard — heavier loads, more complex access configurations, and stricter safety requirements. Erect It Scaffolding provides industrial scaffold solutions for plant maintenance, infrastructure access, warehouse exteriors, and large-scale industrial facilities across Wellington and the wider region.
Our industrial scaffolding is designed around your operational requirements. We plan for safe access, minimal disruption to your facility's operations, and full WorkSafe NZ compliance. Our SiteWise Gold 2026/27 certification confirms our capability to work safely in complex, high-risk industrial environments.
- Plant & machinery maintenance access
- Warehouse exterior scaffolding
- Infrastructure scaffolding
- Heavy-duty tube and fitting systems
- WorkSafe NZ compliance documentation
- SiteWise Gold prequalified

Temporary Roof Systems
Wellington averages over 200 rain days per year. A temporary roof system — also known as a temporary roofing system or weather enclosure — allows reroofing, recladding, and major renovation work to continue year-round regardless of the forecast.
Our temporary roof systems are erected over the existing scaffold structure, creating a weather-tight enclosure that protects both the building and the trades working inside it. For larger reroofing projects and major renovation programmes in Wellington, a temporary roof is often the most cost-effective way to keep your project on schedule through Wellington's unpredictable weather.
- Weather-tight temporary roofing
- Reroofing and recladding projects
- Year-round construction in all conditions
- Compatible with perimeter scaffold systems
- Erected and dismantled by our own crew
Edge Protection Solutions
Edge protection is the most cost-effective and fastest form of fall protection for residential roofing work in Wellington. For most single-storey and standard two-storey reroofing, solar installation, and high-level exterior painting jobs, WorkSafe NZ-compliant edge protection guardrails are the right solution.
Our edge protection systems are purpose-designed guardrail units that clamp to the roof perimeter, providing a compliant barrier that prevents falls without the need for a full perimeter scaffold. Edge protection is typically faster to erect and more economical than a full scaffold — which is why it's the preferred system for Wellington's roofers, solar installers, and painting companies.
- WorkSafe NZ compliant guardrail systems
- Fast installation — often same day
- Residential roofing & solar access
- More cost-effective than full scaffold
- Handover certificate included
- All Wellington suburbs covered
