Very little in St Agnes is built on the flat, and even less of it is built in brick. The gradient decides the base, the stonework decides the ties, and the Beacon decides whether we sheet. All three are settled before you get the written quote.
St Agnes is about 30 miles from our yard in Penzance, roughly forty-five minutes along the A30 and down. It is a planned run rather than local ground, so we book it properly and tell you the week.
The village falls from Churchtown down the valley to Trevaunance Cove, and that fall is the job. Vicarage Road climbs away from the centre, Peterville sits at the pinch point at the bottom where the lanes narrow, and Stippy Stappy is a stepped row where a wagon simply does not go. Scaffold for an address like that is carried in by hand from wherever we can legally stop, and every base on the slope is stepped and levelled rather than stood on the pavement as it lies.
The walls are the other half. Mining-era cottages here are rubble stone bedded in lime, not brick, so ties go where the wall can genuinely take them. Above the village the ground opens out towards St Agnes Beacon, and up there the wind is constant rather than occasional.
Re-roofs, repointing, render and window work on the cottages and terraces through Churchtown, Peterville and the valley streets.
A fully covered deck, which on exposed ground is what makes a full strip possible at all.
Independent or bracketed access to a stack on a stepped terrace with no ground to build off.
Supply and erect for builders, roofers and stonemasons working the parish. We put it up and take it down ourselves.
Village-centre frontages and let buildings, with gantries where people pass underneath.
Subcontract access for conservation builders on protected St Agnes fabric.
The access is walked before it is pricedWhere the gear has to be carried in, that carry is in the quote rather than discovered on the morning.
Ties chosen for the wall in front of usRubble stone and lime are not a brick wall, and the tie schedule reflects that.
Documentation when you want itScaffold tags and handover paperwork are provided on request at no charge, and inspections through a long hire can be arranged and priced in the quote.
£10m public liability, TG20 and SG4Double the £5m most contracts specify, with the scope and the price agreed in writing before any work starts.
St Agnes work usually falls one of three ways. A cottage re-roof or repoint where most of the first morning is getting the gear to the door. A stack on a stepped terrace with neighbours at arm's length. Or an exposed property on the high ground that needs covering to get finished.

Honestly couldn't recommend JJ Cornwall Scaffolding enough. I’ve used these guys since they first started and have never had a single problem. They tackle everything from awkward little jobs to bigger projects with the same high standard of work. Great prices and a top notch crew. If you need scaffolding, give them a call. A few examples of the work for me.

Read more on GoogleAbsolutely amazing service, these guys are the height of professional and we could not recommend them enough. They arrived on time, got straight onto the job and have been utterly understanding of time limits. These guys go above and beyond to help. It's hugely appreciated, thank you.
Read more on GoogleSt Agnes sits where our north coast run meets the mining towns, so we are close by most weeks.
Tell us the street and what you are having done. If a wagon cannot reach the door, say so on the call, because that shapes everything else.
