Scaffolding across Knowle and Solihull
Local scaffolding for Knowle and surrounding villages
Based in Birmingham, we regularly work in Knowle and the surrounding Solihull villages. We understand the mix of properties in the area – from older cottages and character homes to more modern houses and small commercial premises – and the access challenges that come with narrow roads, shared drives and busy village locations.
When you choose Glencross Scaffolding, you can expect:
- • A straightforward, friendly point of contact
- • Site visits where needed to assess access and ground conditions
- • Honest advice on what is practical and safe for your property
- • Scaffolds erected and removed with care and consideration for neighbours
- • Our aim is to make the scaffolding side of your project as smooth as possible, so trades can get on with their work without delays.
Areas we cover around Knowle
As well as work within Knowle itself, we provide scaffolding across the surrounding area, including:
- • Dorridge
- • Bentley Heath
- • Copt Heath
- • Chadwick End
- • Hockley Heath
- • Solihull and wider South Solihull
If you’re unsure whether your property or site is within reach, just ask – if we can cover it, we will, and if not we will be open about that from the start.
How our scaffolding service works
Working with Glencross Scaffolding on a project is straightforward:
- Share your plans
Tell us where the property is, what work you are planning and when you hope to start. - We assess the site
We review drawings, photographs or visit the site to understand access, ground conditions and any constraints such as driveways, trees or neighbouring properties. - Clear quotation
You receive a written quote explaining what we will provide, how long the scaffold is allowed for and any options or extras that might be appropriate. - Installation and adjustments
Our team installs the scaffold safely and returns as agreed to make any alterations needed as the work progresses. - Dismantling and tidy-up
Once your trades have finished, we arrange a date to remove the scaffold and leave the area clean and clear.
Safety, inspections and compliance
Safety is central to how we operate. All scaffolding is erected, altered and dismantled by trained operatives working to current regulations and recognised industry guidance.
On Knowle projects you benefit from:
- • Site-specific risk assessments and method statements
- • Properly maintained scaffold materials and equipment
- • Regular inspections, including the required weekly checks
- • Clear signage and barriers where they are needed
We want you, your trades and the public to feel confident that the access in place is safe and well looked after.
Scaffolding services
We provide a full range of scaffolding services for domestic and commercial projects in and around Knowle.
Domestic scaffolding
Much of our work locally is for homeowners and smaller building firms. Typical projects include:
- • Full roof replacements and roof repairs
- • Chimney work and flue replacement
- • Single- and two-storey extensions
- • Loft conversions and dormer additions
- • Fascia, soffit and guttering replacement
- • Painting, rendering and external maintenance
We recognise that scaffolding around your home is a big visual change, so we plan our set-up to minimise disruption, keep key access points clear where possible and take the scaffold down promptly once the job is finished.
Scaffolding for shops and local businesses
Knowle’s centre has a strong mix of independent shops, cafés, salons and other local businesses that still need to operate while work is taking place. We design scaffolding that maintains safe routes for customers and staff while giving trades the access they need.
We can help with:
- • Shopfront refurbishments and new signage
- • External repairs and redecoration
- • Window replacement and glazing work
- • Roof overlay and repair projects
We’ll liaise with business owners and contractors to plan deliveries, working times and access routes so that disruption is kept to a sensible minimum.
Small developments and refurbishment projects
We also support refurbishment and small development projects in and around Knowle, including:
- • Conversions and remodelling projects
- • Work on rented properties and small portfolios
- • Scaffolding to support brickwork, roofing and glazing trades
- • Edge protection and access platforms for ongoing maintenance
If your project is just outside Knowle – for example in Dorridge, Bentley Heath or nearby rural locations – we can usually help there too.
Temporary roofs and specialist access
Some properties need more than a straightforward scaffold, particularly where weather protection or internal access is required. We can provide:
- • Temporary roofs to keep work dry and on programme
- • Birdcage scaffolds for internal ceilings and atriums
- • Independent scaffolds for gable ends and chimneys
- • Handrails, guardrails and edge protection
We will look at your drawings, photos or the site itself and suggest a safe, practical solution that works with the space available.

FAQs – Scaffolding Knowle
- Do you only provide scaffolding in Knowle, or do you cover nearby villages too?
We regularly provide scaffolding in Knowle and across nearby areas such as Dorridge, Bentley Heath, Copt Heath, Chadwick End and parts of Solihull. If your project is in or around Knowle, get in touch and we’ll let you know if we can help. - How much does scaffolding cost in Knowle?
Scaffolding costs in Knowle depend on the size and height of the property, how straightforward the access is, how long you need the scaffold for and whether you need additions such as loading bays or extra lifts. Once we know more about your project, we’ll send a clear quote so you can see exactly what is included. - Can you help with scaffolding for older or character properties?
Yes. Many homes in and around Knowle have character features, varying roof lines and limited access. We’ll assess your property, talk through any concerns and design a scaffold that protects the building while giving trades the access they need. - Can you provide scaffolding for shops and businesses in Knowle?
We work with shop owners, small businesses and contractors on projects in and around Knowle village centre. We plan scaffolding so customers and staff can move safely around it while work is underway, and we’ll coordinate with you on timings to keep disruption down. - How far in advance should I book scaffolding for a Knowle project?
It’s best to make contact a few weeks before you expect work to start, especially during busy periods. That gives us time to look at the site, plan the scaffold and book in our team. If you have an urgent job in Knowle, let us know and we’ll see what we can do. - How long can scaffolding stay up on my Knowle property?
Your quote will set out a standard hire period for your Knowle project. If your builder or roofer needs longer, the scaffold can usually remain in place as long as it is safe and regularly inspected. Just keep us informed and we’ll talk through any extended hire. - Do you carry out scaffold inspections on Knowle sites?
Scaffolding must be checked by a competent person after it is erected, at least every seven days, and after severe weather or anything that could affect its stability. We can handle inspections as part of our service on Knowle projects, or agree responsibilities with your main contractor.
