Re-Roofing Scaffolding in Strood
Full re-roofs in Strood tend to be on post-war semi — tight streets, close neighbours, and rosemary or plain tiles that come down heavy. We plan the loading bays before we quote so the roofer isn't handballing tiles into a skip on the pavement. Most of the Strood work sits inside ME2. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J2) / A228, 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 Medway City Estate and Frindsbury industrial area. Building stock around Strood is mostly post-war semi and warehouse, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. On the commercial side, Frindsbury industrial area keeps us busy through the year. Enquiries here run a balance of residential and commercial work, so the brief always starts with a site visit. The nearest neighbouring towns to Strood are Rochester and Chatham — handy if a job needs splitting across sites.

Re-Roofing Scaffolding FAQs from Strood customers
How long do you leave a re-roof scaffold up in Strood?+
Standard is 2–4 weeks for a semi in Strood, 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 Strood?+
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 Strood?+
We can erect on a Saturday if the programme needs it — most of our Strood roofers ask for a Monday start, so we usually mobilise the Friday before.
How long does the scaffold need to stay up in Strood?+
The scaffold stays up only as long as the trades need it — typically a week for chimney work, two to four weeks for a re-roof, longer for full refurbishments. We agree the strip date with you up front and inspect weekly while it's up.
Can the scaffold be altered once it's up?+
Yes, but only by our crew. Altering a scaffold without the right ticket isn't safe or legal. Call us if a trade needs a tweak on your Strood job and we'll come back out.
