Understanding what scaffolding actually costs can be difficult. The price depends on several factors – not just the height and length, but also which system you choose, what kind of ground it will stand on and which accessories are needed. In this guide, we go through everything you need to know to make a smart purchase.
1. What affects the price of scaffolding?
When you buy scaffolding, several factors affect the price:
-
Type of system: Frame scaffold, mobile scaffold or ringlock system.
-
Work area: The more square metres, the more components are required.
-
Height: Taller scaffolds require more frames, stairs and guardrails.
-
Accessories: Stair towers, guardrails, toe boards, anchors, etc.
-
Material: Galvanized steel is most common, but aluminium is sometimes used for mobile scaffolds.

3. Whole Villa – complete package for homeowners
If you want a complete solution for the entire house, we recommend our popular “Whole Villa” package (354 m²).
It includes everything you need for facade renovation, roof replacement or painting – including stair tower, guardrails and toe boards.
The price level is around SEK 139,000, and the scaffold can be used again and again for many years to come.

4. Should you buy or rent?
Many choose to buy instead of rent, since rental costs often end up just as high after only 1–2 projects.
A purchased scaffold also allows you to:
-
Subletting
-
Use in future projects
-
Resell at a good second-hand value
5. Summary – what is a reasonable price?
| Project | Recommended type | Approximate price |
|---|---|---|
| Painting a single-storey house | Frame scaffold 100 m² | SEK 45,000–55,000 |
| Roof replacement on a house | Frame scaffold 150–200 m² + stair tower | SEK 70,000–90,000 |
| Renovation of the entire house | Complete package 354 m² | approx. SEK 139,000 |
