Chimney repairs and maintenance require safe, stable access — and that means proper scaffolding. At Supermare Scaffolding Ltd, we specialise in chimney access scaffolding for domestic and commercial properties across Somerset, providing a secure working platform so your roofer or builder can carry out the work safely and efficiently.
Why is Chimney Access Scaffolding Important?
Chimneys are typically the highest and most exposed part of a building, making access genuinely hazardous without the right equipment. Ladders are inadequate for most chimney work — they don't provide a stable platform for a tradesperson to work from for extended periods, and they can't support materials or tools. Proper scaffolding eliminates these risks and allows work to be carried out to a much higher standard.
Under the Working at Height Regulations 2005, any work on a chimney must be carried out from a safe working platform. Our scaffolding ensures full compliance with these requirements.

We provide access scaffolding for all types of chimney work, including:

Chimney Access for All Property Types
We work on all types of property — from terraced cottages and Victorian townhouses to large farmhouses, churches and commercial buildings. Our experienced team will assess the most efficient and least intrusive way to erect the scaffold, minimising disruption to you and any neighbouring properties.
For listed buildings and heritage properties, we understand the importance of protecting the fabric of the building. We use techniques and fixings that avoid damage to historic stonework and brickwork wherever possible.
How Long Does Chimney Scaffolding Take?
For most domestic properties, a chimney scaffold can be erected and inspected within half a day to a full day, depending on the height and complexity of the structure. We will confirm expected timescales when we provide your quote. Scaffolding is available on both short-term and extended hire, so your tradesperson can take as long as needed to complete the work properly.
