If your scaffolding extends over the public pavement or highway, your local council requires a licence before work begins. Enter your postcode to find the right page instantly.
Covers all London boroughs and Kent districts
Any scaffolding that extends over or onto the public pavement or highway requires a licence from your local council — regardless of how briefly it's in place.
The scaffolding contractor (that's us) applies on your behalf. We handle the paperwork, fees, and any required site inspections as part of our service.
Most councils need 5–20 working days to process an application. We factor this into your project timeline so there are no delays on the day.
