Scaffold type: Solar panel access scaffold.
Area: Firle Crescent, Lewes, BN7.
Customer requirements: A solar panel company got in touch for a quotation as they required scaffolding to the front and rear of a 2-storey property so solar panels could be installed. We priced this job as follows: Front of the property £500 with 4 weeks hire and the back of the house £800 also with 4 weeks rental.
Difficulties and challenges we encountered: The scaffold to the front was simple with no challenges faced, however the rear of the property was a little more complex than normal as there was a single storey extension with a glass/perspex roof which we could not bear any weight onto whatsoever. So, we had to use an alternative solution when erecting this scaffolding as detailed below.
Work we undertook:
Scaffold to the back of the house: This structure was 8.0 metres long by 2 lifts high, but the top lift was constructed using 6 metre beams that were strapped to the wall using shear plates, then 3.0 metre tubes were fixed to both pairs of beams. The lift above was then built by sitting the beams laterally on top of the lower beams that were fixed to the wall. This part of scaffolding was made up of a 6.0 metre beam section and a 4.0 metre beam section because the building length was 9.0 metres total. By using beams this meant no weight was placed on the glass/perspex below. The top lift was 6 scaffold boards wide with handrails and toe boards. We then created a walkway for the installers to be able to access the top lift and this was 4.0 metres long and was 5 boards wide, ladder access was also fixed to the end of the walkway.
Hire term: Both structures were hired to our customer for 4 weeks so that they had ample time to complete the solar installation.
If you need a quote for our scaffolding services, then please fill out our online form as this will usually give us most of the details, we require to get a price back to you. Although we may sometimes still need to visit your property to gain additional information. Once we have gathered all of the necessary info, we will provide you with a quote for erecting, hiring (standard 4 weeks unless negotiated otherwise) and dismantling plus any other extra options that may be needed for example, a pavement licence, debris netting, foam on the uprights etc.
When you have accepted our quote, we will then book you in on a date that is convenient for yourself. We will arrive on time and install the scaffolding ensuring the correct safety measures are put in place for example ladder access, ladder gates etc. When you have finished using the scaffold, give us a call and we will book you in for the dismantle where we will remove all materials and equipment. If you are satisfied with our service, you will have the option to leave a review for our company online if you wish too.
