What the client needed
The house needed roofing work and exterior painting. Both trades needed safe access to three elevations, up to the eaves and gables.
The scaffold we provided
A tube and fitting scaffold to three sides of the house, with boarded working lifts and guardrails. The top lift runs at eaves level so the roofers could work along the roof edge, with the scaffold taken higher at the gables. Lattice beams span part of the side and rear elevations, and a gin wheel at the top lift was used for lifting materials.
Access and safety challenges
Lattice beams span part of the side and rear elevations, and the front lifts were built behind mature hedging under the gable and dormer. If any of the scaffold stood on or over a neighbour's land, our guide on scaffolding on a neighbour's property explains how that is usually agreed.
