Scaffolding permits & pavement licences in Sussex
Most central Brighton scaffolds need a council licence. Here is when, who applies and how much lead time to allow.
What to know before scaffolding in Brighton
Access on Brighton jobs
Brighton streets are tight. Terraces run straight onto the pavement, most central roads sit in controlled parking zones, and hills in Hanover, Elm Grove and Kemptown make deliveries and base levels harder to plan. Many rear gardens can only be reached through the house.
Pavement and road licences
Scaffolding that stands on or over the pavement or road in Brighton needs a licence from Brighton & Hove City Council, the local highway authority. We check this at quote stage, make the application and build the lead time into your dates. Fees are set by the council and shown on your quote.
Nearby areas we cover
We also work across Rottingdean, Saltdean, Woodingdean, Patcham, Withdean and Moulsecoomb.

Scaffolding in Brighton: your questions
Do I need a licence for scaffolding in Brighton?
If any part of the scaffold stands on or over the pavement or road, Brighton & Hove City Council will need to licence it, and a parking bay suspension may be needed for deliveries. We tell you at quote stage and handle the application.
Can you scaffold a terraced house with no side access?
Often, yes. Materials sometimes have to be carried through the house to reach the rear. We look at the route first, protect floors where agreed and tell you before the job is booked if it will not work.
How early should I book scaffolding in Brighton?
As early as you can, especially if a pavement licence is needed. Our permits guide explains the usual lead times.
