FAQ
Is hoarding priced by height or width?
By width. Installers hang vertical drops about 1.3m wide, and height barely changes how long one drop takes to hang. The total width sets the number of drops, and the drops set the crew time, which is the biggest cost.
Why does hoarding installation need two people?
Above about 1.5m an installer is up a ladder, and safety requires a second person on the ground in case of a fall. One person also lines the drop up from the bottom while the other works it up the wall. A short belly-band under ladder height is a one-person job.
Why is hoarding installed after hours?
Because it usually wraps a live shopping centre or an active site. You can't run ladders through a corridor of shoppers, so the crew works once the centre closes or before it opens. After-hours labour costs more per hour, and that's built into the quote.
