Send your postcode and a short description of the job through our quote form, or call us. We send fixed-price quotes within one working day, with no obligation and no follow-up spam. ### Is the quote really fixed? Yes. The price we send is the price you pay, assuming the job matches what you described. The only thing that changes a quote is a change to the scope — for example, you decide to do a second elevation while we're there. ### How quickly can you be on site? Trade partners get next-day availability. Homeowner enquiries are usually scheduled within 2–5 working days depending on crew availability and your town.

Certificates available on request and shared with installers as standard. ### Will the scaffold be sign-tagged? Yes. Every scaffold we erect carries a Scafftag with the date, the operative who put it up, and an inspection record. That's what your installer or building inspector will want to see. ### What if it needs to stay up longer? Extend at a flat weekly rate. No penalty pricing. Section ## About us ### Where are you based? Brierfield, Lancashire. We work across Pendle, Burnley, Hyndburn, the Ribble Valley, Blackburn and into Greater Manchester. ### Are you a big company? No — we're family-run with a small, full-time crew. That's deliberate. It means the person you speak to is the person who'll be on site. ### Do you do solar work specifically?
