Domestic scaffolding in Maldon and across Essex
Safe, properly assessed scaffolding access for houses, bungalows and flats — so your roofer, builder, installer or decorator can get on with the job.
What domestic scaffolding from SET covers
Most work at height on a house needs a proper working platform before anyone can start. SET Scaffolding assesses the property, the ground it stands on and the work planned, then erects a scaffold that suits all three.
We supply the access only. The roofing, brickwork, solar installation, glazing, guttering, rendering or painting is carried out by you or the trade you have chosen. Where it helps, SET will coordinate directly with whoever is running your job so the scaffold is up when they need it and down once they are finished.
SET is based in Maldon and covers Essex, with Maldon, Chelmsford and Colchester covered most regularly.
Who it suits
- Homeowners arranging a re-roof, repair or improvement
- Landlords keeping a rental property maintained
- Self-builders and homeowners running an extension
- Roofers, installers and trades needing access for a domestic job

Scaffolding for work around the home
SET provides the access for each of these. The work itself is carried out by you or your trade.
Brickwork and new builds
Working platforms that rise with the brickwork on new builds and masonry projects.
Extensions and complete building projects
Access that keeps a build moving from foundations through to finishing.
Roof repairs and roof replacements
Secure access to the roof line for repairs, re-roofs and full replacements.
Solar panel installations
Roof access so panels can be installed safely and without rushing the job.
Gutters, soffits and fascias
Access along the roof line for gutter cleaning and repairs, and soffit and fascia replacement.
Window replacements
Safe platforms at the right height for removing and fitting upper-floor windows.
Chimney repairs
Access to the stack for repointing, rebuilding, flashing and capping work.
External painting and re-rendering
Full-elevation access for painting, rendering and re-rendering work.
Safety and compliance at the centre
Scaffolding erected to suit your project, with safety and compliance at the centre of our service. Seven-day scaffold inspections available.

- Scaffolding is erected for general use or for the specific work planned, whichever the project calls for.
- Seven-day scaffold inspections are available. Ask how inspections will be handled for your hire when you enquire.
- A scaffold may also need inspecting after it has been altered or after severe weather, not only on the seven-day cycle.
- SET Scaffolding holds £5 million public liability insurance.
- Every job is assessed before a quotation is provided, because access needs vary with the building and the work.
- Site access, ground conditions and the surroundings are considered before any work begins.
- SET can coordinate with builders, roofers, installers and other trades where a job needs it.
- Customers are asked to share accurate details about the property and the planned work so nothing is missed.

Yes. SET Scaffolding holds £5 million public liability insurance. Ask about the documentation you need for your particular job when you enquire.
For as long as the project needs it. The hire period is agreed up front as part of the quotation, and if the work overruns we will talk it through and agree a fair arrangement.
Where a job needs it, yes. Every property is different, so the access is assessed before a quotation is given rather than quoting blind.
Access, ground conditions and the surroundings are considered before work begins, and the site is left orderly. Tell us about anything that needs care, such as drives, gardens or tight access, when you enquire.
