Scaffolding in Falmouth
Falmouth is layered — Georgian merchant houses on Arwenack, terraced cottages tumbling down to the harbour, marine industry at the docks, and University HMOs across the town. Every one of those needs a different scaffold answer.

The building stock we work on in Falmouth
The old town runs three- and four-storey painted-render terraces from Market Street down to Custom House Quay, with tight rear yards backing onto the harbour. Above them, the Victorian expansion around Killigrew, Wodehouse Terrace and Melvill Road brings taller stucco and slate villas — often converted to HMOs for Falmouth University students, meaning re-roofs, chimney work and repaint rigs run all summer. On the marine side, Falmouth Docks and the Ships & Castles frontage bring genuinely commercial scaffolding requirements: sheeted elevations, engineered ties into masonry, and fans over public footways.
Terrain and access in Falmouth
Falmouth is coastal, salt-heavy and steep. Streets like Wodehouse Terrace and Vernon Place fall away sharply and our lifts routinely step down two boards from one gable to the other. Marine exposure raises the tie count and the anti-corrosion spec on fittings kept close to the harbour. Access for the wagon is workable on the town-centre one-ways with early-morning drops, and we programme student-belt work around University term dates so students are not walking under an erecting scaffold at 9am on a lecture day.
Typical jobs and turnaround
HMO refurbishments and repaints, chimney work on Victorian terraces, harbour-frontage commercial jobs, listed and painted-render heritage rigs, and Solar PV installs on the flatter suburban stock at Boslowick and Swanpool.
