What’s included
We run guardrail round the roof edge at the right height above the gutter line, with a working platform at spouting level and a ladder or stairs up to the roof. Where it's needed we add mesh or netting to the rail [confirm]. It's tagged and inspected before the roofers start, and it comes down as soon as the roof is finished.
Use it for full reroofs, roof repairs and repaints, spouting and fascia work, solar panel installs, and skylights or flashings.
Common questions
Do I need edge protection on a single-storey roof?
WorkSafe expects fall protection wherever someone could fall and get hurt, and that includes single-storey roofs. We'll look at your roof and tell you what suits it.
How long will it be up?
Usually as long as the roofing takes. We put it up the day before the roofers start and take it down once they're finished.
Can the roofers load materials onto it?
Tell us when you book. We'll set up a loading area that takes the weight of roofing iron and tiles.
