Questions
How do I know a scaffold is safe?
Check for the scaffolder's CISRS card showing Advanced Scaffolder or NVQ2 qualification, which confirms their competence to lead projects.
Can my builder do my roof repairs?
While builders may coordinate roofing work, specialist contractors like us typically offer better value and expertise, avoiding additional management fees.
How often should I check my roof?
We recommend annual roof checks to identify issues like damaged slates, cracked tiles, or blocked gutters before they become major problems.
Will I need scaffolding for roof work?
Scaffolding is recommended for safety and efficiency when working at height, especially for tasks exceeding 30 minutes duration on ladders.
Can scaffolding be erected on pavements?
Yes, but the contractor must obtain a highway licence and maintain it throughout the project duration for legal compliance.
What roof types do you work with?
We handle all roof types including felt, fibreglass, and lead flat roofs, plus clay, concrete, and slate pitched roofs across residential and commercial properties.
