Frequently Asked Questions
Who organises scaffolding for my South Auckland job?
Typically your painter, roofer, or builder will arrange scaffolding as part of the overall quote. For larger jobs it is sometimes quoted separately. Always confirm in writing who is responsible for organising and paying for scaffolding before work starts.
How long does scaffolding stay up for a South Auckland re-roof?
Most scaffolding for South Auckland re-roofing jobs is in place for 1 to 3 weeks depending on the size of the roof and the speed of the roofing crew. The minimum hire period is typically 2 weeks. Confirm the hire period and daily or weekly extension rates when getting your scaffolding quote.
Can my South Auckland painter or roofer supply their own scaffolding?
Some larger South Auckland painting and roofing companies own and operate their own scaffolding. Others subcontract to a dedicated scaffolding company. Either approach is fine provided the scaffolding is erected correctly, inspected, and tagged. Ask to see the handover tag when work starts.
