C.N.M Scaffolding provides domestic and commercial scaffolding services throughout Chichester and the surrounding district. Our base in Ford is approximately 15 minutes from Chichester city centre, making us ideally placed to serve the area with fast response times and efficient ongoing scaffold management.
Chichester is a city with significant heritage architecture, a busy commercial centre, and a growing residential footprint. From listed buildings in the historic core to new developments on the city's outskirts, we provide scaffolding solutions for the full range of projects found across the district.
We cover all Chichester postcodes including PO18, PO19, and PO20, as well as surrounding villages and communities.
Chichester's city centre contains a high concentration of listed buildings and sits largely within a conservation area. Working on these properties requires an understanding of the care needed to protect historic fabric during scaffold erection and use.
The area around Chichester Cathedral includes some of the most architecturally significant buildings in West Sussex. Scaffolding in this area requires careful planning to protect historic stonework and decorative features, and to minimise visual impact in a sensitive setting.
From the Georgian properties on The Pallants to the medieval and Tudor buildings scattered throughout the city centre, Chichester has a rich architectural heritage. We have direct experience scaffolding listed and period buildings in the city, including our work at the University of Chichester Chapel, West Sussex County Hall, The Chapel, and Chichester High School.
While scaffolding itself does not typically require planning permission or conservation area consent, the underlying building works often do. We work with property owners and their appointed professionals to ensure scaffold designs support the approved works and are erected and dismantled with appropriate care.
C.N.M Scaffolding has completed numerous projects in and around Chichester. Our case studies demonstrate the range and quality of our work in the area:

Chichester's residential areas range from period properties in the city centre to modern estates in Parklands, Stockbridge, and Westhampnett. We provide domestic scaffolding for all project types.
Common residential work in Chichester includes roof repairs and replacements, chimney maintenance and repointing, external rendering and decoration, extensions and loft conversions, and sash window repairs on period properties.
The villages surrounding Chichester — including Bosham, Fishbourne, Lavant, Donnington, and Hunston — also fall within our regular service area. Many of these villages have older properties that benefit from scaffolding when maintenance or improvement works are needed.

Chichester's commercial sector includes retail premises in the city centre, hospitality venues, the Festival Theatre, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities. We provide commercial scaffolding for commercial maintenance, refurbishment, and new works across all these sectors.
We have particular experience in the education sector, having worked at multiple schools and at the University of Chichester. Our team understands the practical requirements of working on occupied educational premises, including scheduling around term times and managing access during school hours.
Our Ford base is just 15 minutes from Chichester city centre, giving us one of the shortest response times of any professional scaffolding company serving the area. This proximity also makes ongoing scaffold management straightforward and efficient.
We have been providing scaffolding services for over 15 years and have a strong track record in Chichester specifically, with multiple completed projects across heritage, education, and residential sectors. We understand the city, its architecture, and the practical requirements of working here.
