Can I ask about a small repair?
Yes. Explain exactly where the repair is and what the contractor needs to reach. We can discuss whether scaffolding is suitable for the job.
Edgware scaffolding
Scaffolding in Edgware.
For exterior repairs, roofing or building work in Edgware, tell Arkley where the scaffold would be needed and what lies around that part of the building. Clear site details help us discuss access for homes and businesses.
The footprint
Show the ground as well as the wall
Photos taken from a little distance can show the whole elevation and the ground beneath it. Include driveways, side routes, entrances and boundaries that may affect the available footprint. If the work is beside a neighbour’s property, mention that when you enquire.
For a shop or other occupied premises, also explain how customers, staff or deliveries use the entrance. The commercial scaffolding guide has more on those details.
Work scope
Tell us whether access is for one repair or several tasks, such as roof and exterior painting work. That helps frame the first discussion with your trades.
Which authority?
Confirm the exact site before checking a licence
Edgware reaches across Barnet and Harrow, so check which council is responsible for the road at your site. For an address in the London Borough of Barnet, Barnet Council explains its highways licence requirements. For a site on the Harrow side, see Harrow Council’s scaffolding licence guidance. The correct authority and permission depend on the exact position, not the area name.
Tell us if the planned scaffold is near a pavement or road so this can be raised before dates are fixed.

Questions
Planning your Edgware job
Can Arkley introduce a roofer or painter?
Where a suitable trusted trade contact is available, Arkley can make an introduction. You would agree their work and terms directly with them.
For nearby areas, see the North London scaffolding guide. We also welcome enquiries from further afield.
