Scaffolding hire and erection in Windsor

Windsor is fifteen minutes from our yard and it is one of the more demanding towns on our patch, for reasons that have nothing to do with distance. The historic core is dense with listed buildings, conservation areas and narrow streets carrying constant pedestrian traffic. A scaffold that would take an afternoon on an open plot in Bracknell needs planning, licensing and a different fixing approach here.

That suits us. ATC Scaffolding does a lot of work on old buildings — Georgian and Victorian frontages that will not take aggressive tying, brickwork and stone that has to be protected rather than drilled through wherever possible, and streets where the scaffold has to keep a public footpath open and lit. We use free-standing and buttressed configurations, non-invasive ties and protection to every surface the scaffold touches.

Away from the centre, Windsor is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces through Clewer and Dedworth, post-war semis, and substantial detached houses towards Old Windsor, Eton Wick and the Great Park fringes. We cover the lot — roof strips, chimney work, temporary roofs, extensions, solar and commercial façade access.

Peascod Street, the streets around the castle and much of central Windsor are protected. Fixings are minimised, ties are designed out where possible, and every contact point is padded and boarded.

Standard terraced access problems — no rear vehicle route, shared party walls, and load-in through the property. Planned properly at the visit rather than improvised on the day.

Large detached houses with long gravel drives, mature planting and expensive landscaping. Sole boards, load spreading and a tidy site are non-negotiable.

Shopfronts and hotels where the business has to stay open. Pavement gantries, protected walkways and out-of-hours erection where the licence requires it.

Roof strips and chimney work

Full edge protection with a boarded working lift, chimney lifts where the stack is being rebuilt or repointed.

Temporary roofs

Essential on Windsor's older properties, where an exposed roof structure cannot be left to the weather.

Façade repair and repointing

Full-height access with the boarding set at the right heights for the mason, and debris protection to the street below.

Pavement gantries and public protection

Where footfall has to continue underneath the works, with lighting, signage and hoarding as required.

Highway licences and pedestrian flow

The Royal Borough is strict about scaffolding on Windsor's footways, and rightly — the town is busy year-round. We manage the licence and design the structure so people can still walk past safely.

Event and tourist season restrictions

Central Windsor has periods where deliveries and road access are heavily restricted. We plan erection and dismantle windows around them so a wagon is not turned away at the cordon.

Fragile masonry and no-drill requirements

On listed frontages we assume no drilling until proven otherwise, and design a stable structure that does not rely on it.
