Do I Need Scaffolding for Roofing Work?
When scaffolding is needed for roof work, the alternatives, and what's involved on a London street.
When it's needed
Re-roofing, chimney work and anything that involves working at height for more than a short period normally needs scaffolding to do it safely. Some small repairs can be done with roof ladders or towers.
London-specific considerations
Scaffolding on or over the pavement usually needs a licence from the local council, and parking suspensions may be required. A competent roofer or scaffolder arranges this as part of the job.
Why it matters for price
Access is often a significant part of a roofing quote. A good quote shows it as a clear line item so you can compare like for like.
