Martin · Answer

The cost of scaffolding for chimney work depends on several factors, including the height of the property, ease of access, location, and the size of the chimney. For a standard two-storey property requiring access to a single chimney stack, you can typically expect to pay between £500 and £1,000 for a chimney-only scaffold. Larger properties, difficult access, or additional safety requirements may increase the cost.
Although scaffolding can seem like an added expense, it is essential for carrying out chimney repairs safely and to a high standard. Whether the work involves repointing, replacing lead flashing, rebuilding the chimney, or renewing flaunching, safe access allows the contractor to complete the job correctly while reducing the risk of accidents or further damage.
When obtaining quotations, it's worth asking whether the scaffolding cost is included in the overall price or charged separately, as this varies between contractors. Some roofing companies arrange the scaffold on your behalf, while others ask the customer to organise it independently.
My advice is to choose an experienced, fully insured roofing contractor who uses reputable scaffold companies and never attempts to carry out chimney repairs from ladders alone. Proper scaffolding not only protects the tradespeople carrying out the work but also helps ensure the repair is completed safely, professionally, and in accordance with current health and safety standards

This would vary greatly depending on the height, width of the chimney, along with how accessible the chimney is.
