We work CM23 weekly — the Old Town conservation area, North Street, South Street and the Causeway, plus the modern Thorley Park, Hockerill and Snowley Parade estates. The property mix is unusually demanding: a substantial heritage core of Grade II listed Tudor, Georgian and Victorian frontages around the Old Town and church, mixed with large modern detached on the western estates, a busy commercial centre and a steady run of office and warehouse work along the M11/Stansted corridor. Each requires a different scaffold approach — listed buildings get sleeved standards and free-standing designs; modern estates get load-spreading sole boards on block paving; commercial sites get RAMS, designed drawings and CDM-coordinated lift plans. Town-centre and Old Town work nearly always involves East Herts District Council pavement licences and conservation-area considerations. We handle the licence application, lighting, pedestrian protection and conservation-aware tying as part of the quote. - CM23 1 - CM23 2 - CM23 3 - CM23 4 - CM23 5 - Typical response: under 55 minutes from yard Available in Bishop's Stortford ## Every scaffold service we run, on your street Each service below is delivered to Bishop's Stortford and the surrounding Hertfordshire villages with the same scaffolders, the same fleet and the same TG20:21-compliant designs.

That means realistic survey windows, scaffolders who know the Old Town's narrow streets and the Thorley estate layouts, and a direct line straight back to the office. ### Heritage-literate Sleeved standards, free-standing designs and SPAB-aware tying methods for the Old Town's Grade II listed Tudor, Georgian and Victorian frontages. ### Council-ready East Herts District Council pavement licences, lighting and pedestrian gantries handled in-house for North Street, South Street and Old Town jobs. ### M11 commercial-ready RAMS, designed scaffolds and CDM-coordinated lift plans for the office and warehouse stock along the M11 / Stansted corridor. ### Written 24-hour quotes Free site survey with a written, itemised quote back the next working day. Scope confirmed in writing before anyone arrives. Local property quirks ## Common scaffolding challenges in Bishop's Stortford Bishop's Stortford's mix of dense heritage core, modern estates and a busy M11 commercial corridor throws up issues that out-of-county scaffolders consistently underestimate. ### Old Town conservation frontages Listed Tudor and Georgian frontages around the church and Old Town can't take standard ties. We use sleeved standards, free-standing designs and conservation-aware tying methods to keep loads off historic fabric, and document the pre-existing fabric with photos. ### Narrow Old Town streets and pavement frontages Many CM23 town-centre properties open straight onto a narrow pavement. We bring a pre-prepared East Herts pavement licence pack, lighting and pedestrian gantry — and schedule erects after hours where footfall demands it. ### Thorley Park / Hockerill block-paved drives Modern estate driveways and integrated drainage need careful leg placement. We use load-spreading sole boards, walk the leg route in advance and document the pre-existing drive with photos. ### M11 corridor commercial cladding Office and warehouse facades along the M11 corridor often need designed scaffolds with calculated ties into profiled cladding or panel systems. We produce the design, the RAMS and the lift plan in-house. How we work ## Survey to strike — five clean steps 1. STEP 1 ### Survey On-site visit within 24 hrs across Bishop's Stortford.
