Roof Survey / Inspection

Scaffolding / Access
Repairs at height — chimney flashing, ridge lines, valleys on a steep or tall roof — sometimes need scaffolding or a tower for safe access, rather than a straightforward ladder.
Access is one of the more significant hidden swings in a repair quote. Where a job can be done safely from a ladder, ladder access, or roof boards there's no separate access cost — but scaffolding for a taller or steeper roof adds a genuine, variable cost on top of the repair itself. There isn't a reliable standalone figure for scaffolding alone in the sourced data — it depends on your property's height and how long it needs to stay up — so always ask whether a quote includes access or adds it separately.
