Victorian terraces and factory buildings
Kettering's terraces usually front the pavement, so scaffolds need a council licence, and many have back alleys that help with rear access. Original slate roofs and chimneys are often due replacement.
Former factories converted to flats or business units need taller scaffolds, often with netting, for roof and window work.

New estates and extensions
Large housing developments around Kettering bring construction scaffolding with loading bays and long hire periods, and later extension and loft-conversion work for homeowners.
In the surrounding stone villages, some built of local ironstone, older cottages need careful scaffolding for roof and chimney repairs.

Planning a scaffold in East Midlands
The East Midlands is drier than the UK average, which suits outdoor work, though open countryside around the towns can make for gusty conditions. Red-brick terraces and semis are common, as are extensions and loft conversions on post-war estates. As elsewhere in England, a scaffold on the public highway normally needs a licence from the local highway authority, which the scaffolding contractor usually applies for.
However simple the job, ask how the scaffold will be inspected and who to call if it needs changing – and never let anyone other than the scaffolding company alter it. Questions to ask a scaffolding company.
