Finding the right scaffolding hire company is about more than getting equipment delivered. The scaffold needs to provide practical access for the people doing the work.
Erect It Scaffolding supplies scaffold hire for homeowners, builders, roofers, painters, plasterers, solar installers, property managers and commercial contractors throughout Wellington.
We plan scaffold access for:
Every project is assessed around the work, platform heights, property access, ground conditions and required duration. Tell us what you are doing so we can assess a suitable setup.

There is no single fixed price: the quote depends on your building, site access, scaffold configuration and hire duration.
Compare the full scope when reviewing quotes: erection and dismantling, the included hire period, ongoing hire charges, inspections, delivery arrangements and any exclusions. Check whether GST is included and how extensions or alterations will be charged.
For an indicative starting point, use our Wellington scaffolding cost calculator. A site-specific quote confirms the proposed scaffold and terms; a calculator estimate is not a booking or final price.
Send your address, the work to be completed and any available photos or plans. We will review the information and confirm whether a site visit is needed.
The work your trades need to complete determines the scaffold configuration. Explore the main hire applications below, with dedicated pages for more detail.
Renovating, repainting or reroofing your house? We plan residential scaffold hire around your property and the trades using it—from villas and townhouses to multi-storey homes and hillside sections. Working platforms can provide access for painters, builders, roofers, plasterers and window installers.
Roof work needs suitable access and fall protection. We assess scaffold and roof edge protection for metal reroofing, roof painting and repairs, gutter replacement, fascia and spouting work, solar installation and new roof construction. The configuration is planned around the actual roofing work.
Working platforms give painters access to weatherboards, windows, soffits, fascia and gables. Whether the work covers one difficult elevation or an entire house, tell us which surfaces need preparation and painting so the scaffold can be planned around those areas.
We provide scaffold hire for builders, construction companies, property managers and contractors. Project requirements may include full building scaffolds, stair towers, loading bays, roof access, edge protection, shrinkwrap, temporary weather protection and multi-trade working platforms. Send your plans and scope for assessment.
A full scaffold around every elevation is not always the appropriate solution. Where suitable for the work and site, dedicated roof edge protection and safe access can support reroofing, roof painting, gutter work or solar installation. We assess the configuration before confirming the scope.
Send the site address and describe the route from the road to the work area. Photos are optional, but showing the driveway, paths, ground levels and elevations helps us assess the booking.
For sites in areas such as Island Bay or Khandallah, tell us about slopes, retaining walls, stairs and any equipment that must be carried from the road. These details affect the access design and installation scope.
For CBD or tightly spaced properties, identify parking restrictions, narrow passages and shared driveways. If the proposed scaffold or delivery may affect a footpath or road, flag this early so any required permissions can be confirmed before installation.
Tell us which entrances must remain usable and whether residents, customers or other trades will be on site. Wind exposure, weather and site readiness can affect installation dates; confirm the schedule with us before arranging dependent work.

If the programme or access requirements change, contact us before the agreed end date. We will confirm the scope, timing, and any additional hire or alteration charge before proceeding.
Every hire is scoped around the programme, so the booking reflects how long the scaffold is actually needed.
Best defined by firm work dates and a clear removal window. Confirm that every trade can finish within the agreed period before booking.
The quote should identify the initial hire period, ongoing hire terms, inspection arrangements, and how much notice is needed when removal is approaching.
The scaffold is planned around the work your trades need to complete—not simply the delivery of equipment. Share the work areas, required access and programme when enquiring.

Wellington’s hills, restricted access, exposed sites and changing weather affect scaffold planning. We assess these conditions alongside the building and work scope.
