Ask your QuestionI am thinking of replacing some roof tiles. I only need to replace about five to six shingles. Should I rent scaffolding for safety or will I be okay without it?
Asked by Kamil on 17th Aug 2020"You don’t need scaffolding just ladder and a cat ladder"
Answered on 18th Aug 2020 - Member since Aug 2019 - report"Safety is obviously always key but sometimes scaffolding isn’t always a must, some hire shops do scaffold tower hire which would be cheaper than scaffolding but given the cost of hire I’d recommend a trained professional do it as they would have appropriate ladder and cat ladder and would probably charge the same as a hire company would"
