If you need some maintenance or decorating work done on your home then you will probably need to hire some domestic scaffolding. Trying to work on the side of your house with a ladder is never a good idea. You will need to climb the ladder holding all your tools. Once you reach the top of the ladder you will struggle to hold on with one hand while working with the other. If you need to work in multiple places along the wall you will be regularly climbing up and down the ladder and moving the ladder along when you would rather be spending the the time working.

Scaffolding is the better option

If you hire domestic scaffolding for your maintenance job you can work safely at height without struggling to hold all of your tools while gripping the ladder. Scaffolding provides you with a safe, level platform to stand on, and an easily accessible location to store the tools when they are not in use. Since the scaffolding can run along your wall for as far as necessary you won't need to be constantly climbing up and down. You can stay in position until the job is finished, saving you both time and energy.

Which domestic scaffolding should you choose?

All scaffolding can get you from ground level up to the height you need to be, but not all types of scaffolding are the same. If you are planning to hire domestic scaffolding you will need to think about the type of scaffolding that will be most suitable for your situation. You could hire static scaffolding that is designed to remain in a single location until the job is done. Alternatively, you might prefer mobile scaffolding that allows you to move the tower along to whichever location you need. Mobile scaffolding can be particularly useful if you are carrying out work at a range of locations around your house, or if you may sometimes need to move your scaffolding to permit other people access.

Before committing to the hire of any scaffolding it is a good idea to check that it really is suitable for your needs. Find out whether it will allow you to access exactly the height you need, and whether you will have access from that height to the areas you need to reach. If you aren't sure you must ask. There is nothing worse than choosing the wrong scaffolding and having to struggle through a job because you can't properly reach the right spot. Talk to your supplier and ensure you hire exactly what you need.
