Quick answer
What does a scaffolding contractor do, and who is responsible for it once erected?
A scaffolding contractor designs, erects, inspects and dismantles access scaffolds, typically £500–£2,000 for domestic work. Scaffolders must hold CISRS cards, and a scaffold standing on a pavement or road needs a council licence. Once erected it must be inspected before first use and at least every seven days, with the inspection recorded — that duty does not disappear because the job is domestic.

Scaffolding vs tower vs mobile platform
| Access need | Scaffolding | Alloy tower | Powered platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full roof replacement | ✅ Required | ❌ Insufficient | ⚠️ Limited |
| Single gutter repair | ⚠️ Expensive | ✅ Recommended | ✅ Yes |
| Rendering a whole elevation | ✅ Recommended | ⚠️ Slow | ⚠️ Limited |
| Weeks of continuous access | ✅ Recommended | ⚠️ Hire cost | ❌ Costly |
| Needs a road licence | ⚠️ If on pavement | ⚠️ Sometimes | ⚠️ Usually |
Scaffold hire is usually priced with an inclusive period and a weekly charge after it. If the main trade overruns, that extension is your cost — so align the hire period with the roofer’s programme, not the optimistic version of it.

Scaffolding Contractor terms explained — Crewe glossary
- CISRS Card(CISRS)
- The Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme card, the recognised proof of competence for erecting scaffolding. Labourer, trainee and advanced grades differ, and only carded scaffolders should be altering a structure.
- TG20 Compliance(TG20)
- The industry guidance covering scaffolds that fall within standard configurations. Anything outside it — unusual loading, bridging, pavement gantries — needs a bespoke design from a scaffold engineer rather than an experienced eye.
- Scaffold Licence(Licence)
- The council permission needed for a scaffold occupying a pavement or road, typically requiring lighting, signage and a pedestrian route. The contractor normally applies, but confirm who holds it and for how long — extensions cost money.
- Handover Certificate and Scaftag(Scaftag)
- The certificate confirming the scaffold is complete and safe to use, and the tag at the access point recording the last inspection. A missing or red tag means the scaffold should not be climbed, whoever is standing at the bottom saying otherwise.
