Alton scaffolders

Scaffolding for an old Hampshire market town

Alton is an old market town, with a high street of Georgian and older buildings, many of them listed, and a brewing history that shaped much of the town. Jane Austen’s house is just down the road in Chawton. Scaffolding in the centre needs to protect old brick, render and roofs, and keep the pavements open for the shops.

From our yard in Tidmarsh, Alton is reached via Basingstoke and the A339, and we cover the town and the villages around it, from Chawton, Holybourne and Bentley to Four Marks, Medstead and Binsted. We scaffold homes for re-roofs, chimneys, extensions and redecoration, and shops and commercial buildings in the town. Our nearest project is in Basingstoke, where we scaffolded a multi-storey block for recladding and new windows.

  • Historic high street

    Heritage scaffolding for listed and period buildings.

  • Period homes

  • Shops kept open

    Pavements and shopfronts kept clear beneath the scaffold.

  • Via Basingstoke

    Alton is reached from our yard along the A339.

Ask a question

Do you cover Alton and the villages nearby?

Yes. We cover the town and the villages around it, from Chawton and Holybourne to Four Marks and Medstead. Our yard is in Tidmarsh, and Alton is reached via Basingstoke.

Do I need a licence for scaffolding in Alton?

If the scaffold stands on a pavement or road, yes, and in Alton it comes from Hampshire County Council. Scaffolds within your own property do not need one. We will confirm at the survey whether yours does.

My building is listed. Can you scaffold it?

Yes. Many of Alton’s older buildings are listed or in the conservation area. Check with East Hampshire District Council’s planning team before any fixings go into the historic fabric, and we are happy to share the proposed tie arrangement with them in advance.

Can you scaffold a shop without closing it?

Usually, yes. The first lift can sit above the shopfront, or lattice beams can carry the scaffold over it, so the entrance and pavement stay clear, with netting on the lifts above.

What scaffolding do you offer in Alton?

Domestic scaffolding for roofs, chimneys, extensions and redecoration, heritage scaffolding for older buildings, commercial scaffolding, temporary roofs, and scaffold designs, method statements and inspections.
