Roof scaffolding in Plymouth
Most of our work is for roofers. We put up a boarded lift at eaves level with handrails and toe boards, so the roofer can strip, felt, batten and slate in safety and the old slates have somewhere to go. When the roof is finished, we come back and take it down.
In short: Roof scaffolding is a boarded working platform built at gutter height, with handrails and toe boards, so roofers can work on the roof safely. Lyon Scaffolding puts it up across Plymouth for re-roofs, repairs, fascias, gutters and solar panels.
When you need it
- Full re-roofs and new slates or tiles
- Ridge, valley and leadwork repairs
- Fascias, soffits and guttering
- Solar panel fitting
- Dormer and roof window work
Roofers: tell us the start date and we will have the scaffold up and ready before your team arrives.
Every scaffold is boarded, tied in and fitted with handrails and toe boards, and we carry £10 million public liability insurance.

Roof scaffolding: common questions
Do you put up scaffolding for roofers?
Yes. Give us the start date and the scaffold will be up, boarded and handrailed at the eaves before the roofer arrives. When the roof is done, call us and we take it down.
How high does roof scaffolding go?
The working lift sits just below the gutter line so the roofer can step off onto the roof, with a handrail above. Tall terraces need more lifts to reach that height.
Can old slates be dropped off the scaffold?
Ask us when you book. We can build the scaffold so a chute or skip can be placed below, which keeps the job tidy and safe.
Do I need a licence if the scaffold is on the pavement?
If any part of the scaffold stands on the pavement or road, Plymouth City Council needs a scaffold licence before it goes up. Dean will tell you at the quote stage if your job needs one.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry £10 million public liability insurance. Ask and we will send you the certificate.
