  • How much does scaffolding hire cost in Melbourne?

    Scaffolding hire costs in Melbourne depend on the type of project, size, duration, and site access. As a general guide, residential scaffolding hire prices for a two-storey home typically ranges from $350 - $700 per week depending on size of project required. This price does not include the install cost.  Commercial and industrial projects are quoted individually based on scale and complexity. The best way to get an accurate price is to call us on 03 8366 9990 or request a free quote — we usually get back to you within 24 hours.

  • What areas of Melbourne do you cover?

We're based in Langwarrin in Melbourne's southeast, giving us excellent coverage across bayside and south eastern suburbs, Mornington Peninsula, eastern suburbs, inner Melbourne, and key commercial and industrial precincts including Dandenong, Braeside, Moorabbin, Clayton, and Port Melbourne.

  • How quickly can scaffolding be installed?

    In most cases we can have scaffolding installed within 24–48 hours of confirming your quote and booking. For larger

    commercial projects we'll agree on a programme that suits your build schedule. We understand that delays on site cost

    money, so we work hard to get your scaffold up on time, every time

  • Is your scaffolding WorkSafe Victoria compliant?

    Yes — 100%. Every scaffolding system we supply and install meets WorkSafe Victoria standards and Australian safety

    regulations. All of our scaffolders are fully licensed and experienced, and every job is set up to ensure your site remains

    compliant throughout the hire period. We've been doing this for 30+ years and safety is non-negotiable on every job we

    take on.

  • Do you handle the installation and dismantling?

    Yes, we handle everything from start to finish. Our team delivers the equipment, installs it safely, and dismantles and removes it when your job is done. You don't need to organise anything beyond letting us know your site details and timeframe to have the scaffold off hired and dismantled.  We keep it simple so your trades can focus on the job.

  • How long can I hire scaffolding for?

    We offer flexible hire periods to suit your project — from a few days for smaller residential jobs right through to months for commercial builds. Weekly hire rates apply for most projects, and we'll discuss the expected duration when we put together your quote. If your project runs longer than expected, just let us know and we can discuss options to extend the hire period.

  • What types of scaffolding do you offer?

    We supply and install a full range of scaffolding systems including Kwikstage scaffolding for commercial and residential projects, 2Plank walkways, void protection and fall protection systems, pedestrian walkways and site access solutions, roof bracket and plank systems for pitched roof work, and mobile scaffold towers. Not sure what type you need? Call us and we'll recommend the right solution for your project.

  • Do you offer scaffolding for residential home renovations?

    Absolutely. Residential work is a big part of what we do. Whether you need scaffolding for exterior painting, roofing,

    fascia replacement, rendering, or a full home renovation, we can set up a safe and practical scaffold solution for your

    property. We service both owner-builders and professional tradies across Melbourne.

  • Can you provide scaffolding for roof access and painting jobs?

    Yes — this is one of the most common jobs we do. We regularly supply scaffolding for painters, roofers, and fascia

    contractors needing safe roof access. We can supply roof bracket and plank systems for pitched metal and tile roofs, as

    well as full perimeter scaffolding for two-storey homes. Just let us know the roof pitch, size, and what work is being done

    and we'll recommend the best setup.

  • How do I get a quote?

    Getting a quote is easy. You can call us directly on 03 8366 9990 (Mon–Fri 8am – 4-30pm) or fill out our online quote request form and we'll get back to you within 24 hours. To speed things up, it helps to have your project suburb, the type of work being done, and roughly how long you'll need the scaffolding for. We'll take care of the rest.
