Acrow Props for Structural Work on Brighton and South Downs Properties
Regency terraces in Hove and Kemp Town often have higher ceilings, so No. 3 or No. 4 props may be needed. Georgian townhouses across Brighton can have non-standard floor heights. Flint-built cottages around Steyning, Henfield and Lewes often have thick masonry walls that may affect support requirements.
Victorian bay-fronted houses across Worthing, Shoreham and Lancing need propping during bay window underpinning. On Regency properties with ornate plaster ceilings, a spreader board protects from point loading. Suspended timber floors may need additional support underneath.
Using Acrow Props Correctly
Use a solid base, such as a scaffold board or steel plate, rather than placing the prop directly on soft ground. Set the required height using the pin and collar, then tighten the screw thread. Never rely on the screw thread alone.
Acrow props can be collected from the Brighton depot and fit in a van or on a roof rack. Call 01273 596 979.

Frequently Asked Questions: Acrow Prop Hire in Brighton and West Sussex
What sizes?
No. 0 to No. 4 props are available. Regency properties in Hove may need taller props. Tell us your ceiling height.
How many?
It depends on the span and load. Your structural engineer should specify the number required.
Can I collect?
Yes. Acrow props fit in a van or on a roof rack. Call 01273 596 979.
How do I know what size and how many Acrow props I need?
The correct prop size and quantity depend on the height being supported, the weight above, the width of the opening and how the load will be transferred safely. Acrow props should not be selected or spaced by guesswork, particularly when supporting walls, floors or structural openings. Guidance on structural stability during alteration and demolition explains why temporary support must be properly designed for the expected loads. Once the support arrangement has been specified by a competent person, Coppard’s Brighton team can supply the appropriate Acrow props in the sizes and quantities required.
