What we do

Roof and chimney scaffolding for

Roof repairs and new roofs
Chimney repairs and repointing
Chimney rebuilds and removals
Flashing and leadwork
Gutters, fascias and soffits
Dormers and roof windows

Roof work is only as safe as the access. A proper scaffold gives your roofer a working platform at the eaves with guardrails and boards, so tiles, lead and tools stay on the roof and nobody has to work off a ladder.

We put up roof and chimney scaffolding on houses, bungalows and terraces across Hertfordshire, built to the shape of the roof and planned around your garden, drive and neighbours.

Chimney scaffolding

Chimney work needs a platform right round the stack at the right height. Where the job is only on the chimney we can often build a chimney scaffold rather than scaffolding the whole front of the house. We will tell you which one your job needs.

Roof scaffolding for repairs and new roofs

From a few slipped tiles to a full new roof, we scaffold to the eaves with a safe edge for your roofer. On a full strip we can add a loading bay for tiles and battens. Where the roof will be open for a while, a temporary roof keeps the house dry.

Questions

Roof and chimney scaffolding: common questions

Do I need scaffolding for chimney work?

For anything more than a quick look, yes. A scaffold gives your roofer a safe platform round the stack at the right height, instead of working from a roof ladder.

Can you scaffold just the chimney?

Often yes. Where the work is only on the stack we can build a chimney scaffold rather than covering the whole front of the house. We will tell you which one your job needs.

Will the scaffold need to go on my neighbour's side?

Sometimes, on terraced and semi detached houses where the stack is shared or close to the boundary. We tell you when we quote and it is worth speaking to your neighbour early.
