No scaffolder listed in Duns yet.

A scaffolder erects and dismantles temporary scaffolding to provide safe working platforms for other trades - roofers, painters, roughcasters and anyone else working at height.

You may not hire a scaffolder directly - your roofer or builder often arranges it - but understanding the costs helps when it appears as a line item in a quote. Scaffolding must be erected by a qualified team to meet health and safety regulations.

Confirm the hire period, weekly rental cost and whether the quote includes delivery, erection, dismantling and collection - overrun charges can add up quickly if a job takes longer than expected.

Duns is the county town of the former Berwickshire, a quiet market town set beneath Duns Law in the eastern Borders.

The Jim Clark Motorsport Museum, opened in 2019, celebrates the life of the two-time Formula One world champion who grew up on a farm near the town.

Duns has a traditional square, a good range of shops and services and Manderston House - one of the finest Edwardian country houses in Scotland - sits just outside town.

The town serves as the administrative and commercial centre for the rural Berwickshire area.

Duns is connected by the A6105 to Berwick-upon-Tweed and the East Coast Main Line, about 14 miles to the east.

The Scottish Borders is the largest council area in southern Scotland, stretching from the edge of Edinburgh and East Lothian in the north to the English border in the south.

It is a landscape of rolling hills, river valleys and market towns - the Tweed, Teviot, Ettrick and Yarrow rivers carve through countryside that has been fought over, farmed and written about for centuries.

Hawick and Galashiels are the largest towns, but the region's character is shaped by a string of smaller burghs - Kelso, Jedburgh, Peebles, Melrose and Selkirk - each with its own abbey ruins, common riding traditions, or rugby loyalties.

The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Tweedbank and Galashiels to Edinburgh Waverley, bringing the northern Borders within commuting distance of the capital for the first time in decades.

The region is known for its textile heritage, its abbeys and an outdoor culture built around hill walking, fishing, mountain biking and rugby - a place where community identity runs deep and the landscape is never far away.
