Scaffolding for roof work
Edge-protected access for roofing, guttering and painting across Scotland — built around your property and the trades working on it.
Roofing scaffolding
Safe access at roof level
- Edge-protected platforms
- SG4 · TG20 standards
- CHAS accredited
Roof work is where safe access matters most. Whether slates are being replaced, a roof is being stripped and re-covered, or the gutters and fascias need attention, we put up scaffolding that gives your roofers a stable platform at eaves level, with edge protection wherever the work meets the drop.
Every scaffold is designed around the roof in front of us — its height, its pitch, the ground below and the materials that have to come up and down. It is inspected while it stands, and where the weather could hold the job up we can put a temporary roof over the work.

Safety
Safe working at roof height
Roof work means working next to a drop, with materials going up and coming down. Every roofing scaffold we erect follows SG4 and TG20 guidance and the Work at Height Regulations, with guard rails and toe boards along every working edge, and our scaffolders keep their qualifications and training up to date.
Once it is up we inspect it at handover and at regular intervals while it stands, with extra checks after bad weather, so the structure stays safe for as long as your roofers need it.

Roofing FAQs
Questions about roofing scaffolding
The questions we hear most often about scaffolding for roof work. If yours isn’t here, the team is happy to talk it through.
-
Do you put up scaffolding for roofers as well as homeowners?
Yes. Our domestic scaffolding is designed for homeowners and for the roofers and small contractors working for them, so whoever is organising the job can book it.
-
Can the scaffold take slates and roofing materials?
Where slates, tiles or other materials have to come up or down, we can build a loading bay into the scaffold. Tell us what is going up and down when you enquire, so the scaffold can be designed for the load.
-
Can you supply temporary roofs?
Absolutely. Our team designs and installs temporary roof structures to protect your site from the elements. This is especially useful during roof works or when weather could otherwise cause delays.
-
How long can the scaffolding stay up?
For as long as the work needs it. While it stands we inspect it at handover and at least every seven days, with extra checks after high winds, so it stays safe if your programme runs on. Let us know the dates you expect to be working when you enquire, so the scaffold can be planned around them.
-
Does scaffolding on the pavement need a licence?
If any part of the scaffold has to stand on a public footpath or road, the local authority has to license it before it goes up. Mention it when you enquire so it can be allowed for in the programme.
-
How do you ensure safety on-site?
Safety is our top priority. All scaffolding is designed and erected to meet current UK safety regulations, including SG4, TG20, and Working at Height standards. Our qualified team also carries out regular inspections and provides health and safety reports to ensure full compliance throughout your project.
