Re-Roofing Scaffolding in Chatham
A re-roof scaffold in Chatham isn't just an eaves-height lift — it's a working platform sized to a tile bath, positioned where the roofer wants the drop, and often carrying a chimney lift as well. We build ours to how the roofer works, so the tiles land where they're wanted and the strip runs on time. Most of the Chatham work sits inside ME4 and ME5. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J3) / A2, about 1 miles past Rochester. We're based on the Medway ourselves so mobilisation is fast and lead times are short. We're regularly on sites around Chatham Maritime and Dockside Outlet. Building stock around Chatham is mostly Victorian terrace and 1960s estate house, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. Enquiries here run a balance of residential and commercial work, so the brief always starts with a site visit. From the same crew we also work Rochester, Gillingham, Strood — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Chatham site. The nearest neighbouring towns to Chatham are Rochester and Gillingham — handy if a job needs splitting across sites.

- scaffolds built to suit your roofer's actual method, not generic eaves height

Re-Roofing Scaffolding FAQs from Chatham customers
How long do you leave a re-roof scaffold up in Chatham?+
Standard is 2–4 weeks for a semi in Chatham, longer for a full terrace or a big detached. We coordinate the strike with the roofer so you're not paying weekly hire on a finished roof.
Can you put a temporary roof over a re-roof in Chatham?+
Yes — for winter strips or when there's water damage below, a temporary roof over the scaffold keeps the property watertight while the strip runs. We can quote it as part of the same job.
Do you carry chimney lifts on a re-roof scaffold?+
Yes, and it's much cheaper to do the chimney at the same time as the roof. Tell us what the stack needs (repoint, rebuild, cowl) and we'll size the lift accordingly.
Will you work weekends for a re-roof in Chatham?+
We can erect on a Saturday if the programme needs it — most of our Chatham roofers ask for a Monday start, so we usually mobilise the Friday before.
How far is your yard from Chatham?+
About 1 miles from Rochester, mostly along M2 (J3) / A2. That short run keeps mobilisation cost and lead time low on Chatham work.
Can you build in loading bays for slate and tile in Chatham?+
Yes — ladder-beam loading platforms are standard on Chatham roofer-access scaffolds where the roof team is handballing material. Saves their backs and your time.
