What we put up
All aspects of scaffold work undertaken.
Domestic access
Houses, bungalows and home improvements — no job too small.
Commercial & industrial
Shopfronts, offices and industrial units, planned around trading hours.
Chimney scaffolds
Independent stacks so the chimney can be rebuilt without standing on the roof.
Temporary roofs & edge protection
Keep the weather off a strip-out, and the edge safe for the trades.
Towers, birdcages & awkward access
Alloy towers, birdcages, and access over porches and conservatories.
Heras, chutes & protection screens
Site set-up around the scaffold — fencing, waste chutes and screens.
Why Elite
Your project, executed safely.
We strictly comply with the regulations so the scaffold is safe and secure — whether it is a chimney in Hastings or a commercial elevation in Kent.
28 years around Hastings
Elite Scaffolding South East has worked Hastings, East Sussex and Kent for over 28 years. Steep streets, tight drives and coastal weather are the job, not a variation.
CISRS, CSCS and CITB
Scaffolders are fully trained and certified by the CISRS, CSCS and CITB. PPE is issued to every operative — helmets, hi-vis, gloves, glasses, boots and harnesses.
No job too small. Or too big.
Residential, roofing, commercial and industrial. We are set up for all sizes of task, and we will tell you if a tower will do instead of a full independent.
Free estimates, fully insured
We are always happy to offer scaffolding advice for the project in front of you. Estimates are free. A site visit confirms the price — access and other site factors can change the figure. We are fully insured, and we can supply references.

Questions
Before you call.
Still unsure? Ring Chris on 07908 021856 — we would rather talk you out of the wrong scaffold than sell you one.
Is the online figure a quote?
No. It is a guide estimate only. Prices vary with access, ground conditions, height, hire length and other things we can only see on site. A free site visit is required to confirm the price. Until then it is not a quote.
How soon can you erect?
Straightforward domestic jobs around Hastings, Bexhill and the borough are often on the tools within a few days. Designed scaffolds and anything needing a pavement licence need a little more lead time — we will say so on the estimate.
What is included in a standard estimate?
Delivery, erection, 6–8 weeks' hire, weekly inspections, and dismantle. Anything over 8 weeks is charged extra. Temporary roofs, netting, and council pavement licences are itemised. The online figure is a guide — access, ground, height and other site factors can change the price. We confirm on a free site visit. It is not a fixed quote.
Do I need a pavement licence?
If any part of the scaffold sits on the public highway — including a pavement — the local authority requires a licence. We apply on your behalf and add the fee to the estimate. Rear gardens and private drives usually do not need one.
How often is the scaffold inspected?
At least every seven days, after any event that could affect stability (a storm, a vehicle strike), and after any alteration. You receive a copy of the inspection record.
Are your scaffolders CISRS carded?
Yes. Operatives are trained and certified by the CISRS, CSCS and CITB. We are fully insured, and commercial principal contractors get the tickets with the RAMS. We are happy to supply references.
Can you work around a steep or awkward site?
That is most of Hastings. We plan materials off the lorry and often hand-ball fittings in. Mention access when you enquire and we will price the extra labour, not discover it on the day.
Where do you cover?
Hastings, East Sussex and Kent — including Bexhill, Rye, Eastbourne, Brighton, Tunbridge Wells, Ashford, Tenterden and the surrounding towns. If we cannot do it well, we will say so.
What are your hours?
Monday to Friday 8am–5pm, Saturday 9am–12pm, Sunday closed. Call Chris on 07908 021856 or Gwen on 07768 158359.
