Acrow Prop Hire — Sizes and Rates
Acrow props are adjustable steel columns with a screw-threaded extension and load-bearing plate at each end. Set to the required height, they carry the load above while the structural element below is removed or replaced. No. 0 through No. 4 covering heights from 1.83m to 4.87m. All at £3.00 per prop per week.
When Do You Need Acrow Props?
Acrow props are required for any structural alteration involving a load-bearing element. CDM regulations and building control requirements mean masonry above must be supported before any structural element is removed. If unsure how many props or which sizes, call 01883 743 322 and describe the job.

Acrow Props for Structural Work Across Surrey
Surrey has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, period cottages and converted agricultural buildings that frequently require structural alterations. Older lintels are commonly timber or rough stone — replacing with modern steel lintels is one of the most common jobs our props support.
Barn conversions across the Surrey and Kent countryside typically require No. 4 props for tall clearances. Properties across Redhill, Reigate, Caterham and Dorking frequently need No. 1 and No. 2 props for standard room height alterations.

Using Acrow Props Correctly
Acrow props must be set up correctly to be safe. Always place a timber sole plate under the bottom plate on any surface that is not solid concrete, and a head plate between the prop top and the soffit. Extend the prop to firm contact and tighten the collar. Never use a prop that is bent, damaged or at its maximum extension.
