Scaffold for Painting House Exteriors and Interiors: Towers, Heights & Types

Painting at height becomes much safer and more efficient when the access equipment is matched properly to the property. Mobile scaffold towers are suitable for a wide range of exterior and interior decorating work, giving the user a stable platform with room for paint, brushes and other tools.

For most two-storey houses, a working height of around 6-7m is normally sufficient to reach gutters, eaves and upper wall areas. Bungalows and other single-storey properties generally need less height, while indoor decorating often requires compact towers that can be moved easily between rooms. The exact choice should always be based on the highest point that needs to be reached rather than the overall building height.

Different projects may also call for specialist tower designs. Narrow towers help where access is restricted, stair towers are designed for work on steps, and GRP towers provide a non-conductive option near electrical hazards. Correct sizing, level ground and proper stabilisation all remain essential.

Hiring can be particularly practical for decorating projects because the correct tower can be selected for the job without the cost and storage requirements of ownership.
