Scaffolding in Brighton
C.N.M Scaffolding provides domestic and commercial scaffolding services across Brighton & Hove. Although based in Ford, West Sussex, we regularly work throughout Brighton and the surrounding areas, with good access via the A27 and A23 corridors.
Brighton's distinctive architecture — from Regency terraces and Victorian villas to modern seafront developments — presents a wide range of scaffolding challenges. Our team has experience working with all property types found across the city, including in conservation areas and on properties with restricted access.
We cover all Brighton & Hove postcodes including BN1, BN2, and BN3, as well as surrounding areas including Rottingdean, Saltdean, Woodingdean, Hove, and Portslade.
Scaffolding for Brighton's Architecture
Brighton has one of the most varied building stocks in the South East. The city's architectural character creates specific scaffolding requirements that differ significantly from standard suburban work.
Regency and Georgian Terraces
Brighton's iconic Regency terraces — particularly around Kemp Town, Brunswick, and the seafront crescents — are often listed or sit within conservation areas. Scaffolding on these properties must be erected with care to avoid damage to decorative stucco facades, and may require specific approaches to protect ornamental features. We have experience working on period properties where heritage considerations are important.
Victorian and Edwardian Properties
The residential streets of Preston, Fiveways, and Hanover contain dense rows of Victorian terraces, many with limited rear access and party wall constraints. Scaffolding in these areas often requires careful planning around narrow pavements, parking restrictions, and neighbouring properties. Where scaffold extends over the public highway, a licence from Brighton & Hove City Council is typically required — we can advise on this process.
Seafront Properties
Properties along Brighton's seafront are exposed to higher wind loads and salt air, which affects both the buildings themselves and the scaffolding design. Our scaffold designs account for coastal exposure, ensuring structures are adequately secured for the conditions.
Modern Developments
Brighton continues to see significant development, including conversions, new builds, and mixed-use schemes. We provide scaffolding for new build projects, refurbishment work, and building maintenance across the city.
Domestic Scaffolding in Brighton
Brighton homeowners frequently require scaffolding for a range of projects. The city's terraced housing stock means that many properties require scaffolding for work that might not need it on detached houses — for example, accessing side elevations between closely spaced buildings, or reaching upper floors where ladder access is impractical or unsafe.
Common domestic scaffolding projects in Brighton include roof repairs and replacements, chimney work, exterior repointing and rendering, extensions and loft conversions, sash window replacement on period properties, and exterior decoration.
We work alongside your chosen contractors and can coordinate scaffold timing with your project schedule. Our team understands the practical challenges of working in Brighton's tighter residential streets, including access logistics and council requirements for pavement scaffolding.

Commercial Scaffolding in Brighton
Brighton has a substantial commercial property sector, from the independent shops and restaurants of the Lanes and North Laine to larger retail and hospitality venues along the seafront and Western Road.
We provide commercial scaffolding for shop and restaurant refurbishments, hotel and hospitality maintenance, office building access, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and mixed-use development projects. Our experience includes working on occupied commercial premises where maintaining access for businesses and their customers during the scaffolding period is essential.
Brighton's education sector — including the University of Sussex, University of Brighton, and numerous schools — also generates regular demand for scaffolding during maintenance and improvement programmes.
