CETRAC supplies compatible system solutions that adapt flexibly to roof height, pitch and site conditions, and supports rapid quantity take-off through clear processes and the EasyFlow scaffolding manager.

Roofing scaffolding – areas of application

  • Roofing work on the eaves, verge, ridge and roof surface
  • New roofing, repairs and refurbishments
  • Installation of roof windows, solar panels, ventilators and connections
  • Insulation and waterproofing work
  • Safety measures on sloping roofs with an increased risk of falling
  • Use in domestic renovation projects and commercial roofing projects
  • Ideal when a safe working platform and optional fall protection are required

Roofing scaffold for a flat roof

On flat roofs, too, side protection is compulsory where the fall height is 2 m or more. A flat-roof scaffolding system fulfils two functions: it secures the parapet edge as a perimeter fall protection system (side guardrails at least 1m above the working platform) and serves as a working and material platform for waterproofing, insulation or PV installation.

Typical configuration on a flat roof: frame scaffolding up to parapet height + railing extension, load class 3, brackets for wall clearance. For work carried out indoors, side protection systems are installed directly on the roof. You can calculate the required area using the scaffolding area calculator and the transport weight using the scaffolding weight calculator.

All systems are available as inspected, second-hand scaffolding at affordable prices – and when it comes to permits and regulations, the guide *Scaffolding Safety: Permits, Obligations & Standards* is here to help.

You can find out more about fall protection at the roof edge under ‘Roof safety scaffolding’.

The height depends on the building. Systems are modular and can be adapted to roof height and pitch. Which loads are permitted per level is shown in our guide to scaffold load classes.

Yes, although depending on the gradient, additional protective walls or safety barriers are recommended.

For steeper roofs, we recommend additional safety barriers or a safety net – see the section on roof safety scaffolding for more information.
