Re-Roofing Scaffolding in Tenterden
A re-roof scaffold in Tenterden 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 Tenterden work sits inside TN30. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via A28, about 12 miles past Ashford. Conservation-area sheeting and a quiet, tidy build are usually the unspoken requirement. We're regularly on sites around High Street and Vine Court. The nearest neighbouring towns to Tenterden are Ashford and Cranbrook — handy if a job needs splitting across sites. On the commercial side, Vine Court keeps us busy through the year. Most enquiries from here are residential — homeowners, landlords and the builders working for them. From the same crew we also work Ashford, Cranbrook — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Tenterden site.

Re-Roofing Scaffolding FAQs from Tenterden customers
How long do you leave a re-roof scaffold up in Tenterden?+
Standard is 2–4 weeks for a semi in Tenterden, 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 Tenterden?+
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 Tenterden?+
We can erect on a Saturday if the programme needs it — most of our Tenterden roofers ask for a Monday start, so we usually mobilise the Friday before.
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 Tenterden job and we'll come back out.
Can you scaffold a single-storey rear extension in Tenterden?+
Yes — a working lift around a single-storey rear roof is a standard roofer access scaffold job for us in Tenterden. We can usually get in through a side return on most terraced and semi-detached homes in TN30.
