What is a roofing scaffold?

A roofing scaffold is a scaffold structure positioned directly at the roof edge , providing a safe working platform for roofing and carpentry work.

What is a roofing scaffold needed for?

For re-roofing, roof refurbishment, repairs, solar installation , waterproofing, insulation work and the installation of roof windows. When additional fall protection is required is explained on our roof safety scaffold page.

How does a roofing scaffold differ from a roof safety scaffold?

Roofing scaffold: working platform for the roofing trade. Roof safety scaffold: fall protection for catching people and material. The two systems are often combined. You can find more on fall protection at the roof edge on our roof safety scaffold page.

What working heights are possible?

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

Is a roofing scaffold suitable for steep roof pitches?

Yes, although depending on the pitch, additional protection walls or catch levels are recommended. For steeper roofs, we additionally recommend protection walls or a catch level – more on this on our roof safety scaffold page.

How is a roofing scaffold erected?

By trained specialists using frame elements, decking, diagonal braces , side protection and, where necessary, protection wall modules. What matters for safe erection is summarised in our guide: erecting a scaffold correctly .
