Scaffolding Hire Services

What Type of Scaffolding Do You Need?

We offer a complete range of scaffold hire services designed to suit all project sizes and sectors:

Residential Scaffolding Dublin

For home renovations, roofing, painting, or extensions – secure, lightweight, and quick to install.

Ainscaff provides residential scaffolding hire for homeowners undertaking extensions, re-roofing, chimney repairs, external painting, attic conversions, and general maintenance work. Our residential teams are experienced in working in occupied properties, confined Dublin driveways and rear gardens, and terrace-house access constraints.

We provide a free site survey for all residential jobs before quoting. The survey allows us to confirm bay dimensions, loading requirements, access constraints, and the correct scaffold type for the project. All residential scaffolding is erected by our own trained operatives - we do not subcontract.

Commercial scaffolding projects typically require formal load calculations, design drawings, and third-party inspection - all of which Ainscaff provides in-house.

Our commercial scaffolding work covers retail and office refurbishment, hotel and hospitality renovation, healthcare facility works, school and university projects, and commercial new-build. We work to CDM regulations and can provide a full RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statement) pack on request.

How Ainscaff Works: From Survey to Dismantlement

  1. Initial Survey - Our team visits your site to assess the project scope, access constraints, loading requirements, and tie-in points. For standard residential projects this is typically a 30-minute site visit; for commercial and industrial projects a full survey report is produced.
  2. Design and Calculations - Where required (complex commercial, industrial, or non-standard residential), our in-house structural engineers produce load calculations and scaffold design drawings in accordance with EN 12811 and TG20:21.
  3. Quotation - We provide a written quotation detailing scaffold type, bay dimensions, hire period, inspection schedule, and total cost inclusive of erection and dismantlement.
  4. Erection - All scaffolding is erected by Ainscaff's own Safepass-certified operatives. A handover certificate is issued on completion confirming the scaffold has been erected in accordance with the agreed design.
  5. Inspection - Ainscaff operates a regular inspection regime throughout the hire period: weekly inspections and after any adverse weather event. Inspection records are maintained and available to the client on request.
  6. Adaptation - If the project scope changes (additional bays, lift extensions, loading changes), Ainscaff can adapt the scaffold and issue a revised design certificate.
  7. Dismantlement - At project completion, Ainscaff's team dismantles the scaffold, removes all components from site, and issues a completion confirmation. The site is left clean and clear.
