This project involved the erection of a TG21 compliant scaffold tower to the front right-hand half of a residential property in Tottenham, North London, delivered on behalf of Haringey Council as part of an ongoing local authority repair and maintenance programme.
The scaffold was required to provide safe access for roofing contractors to investigate and repair an active roof leak. Due to the location and scope of the works, a compact but robust access solution was essential to minimise disruption while maintaining full compliance with current scaffolding regulations and council safety expectations.
Our team designed and installed a standalone access tower fitted with a rope and wheel system, allowing materials and tools to be lifted safely to roof level without manual handling risks. This setup improved efficiency on site while reducing the need for repeated access at ground level.
All works were carried out by our fully trained and qualified scaffolders, operating in accordance with SG4:22 guidance for safe working at height. The tower included secure working platforms, double guardrails, toe boards, and controlled access points to ensure maximum safety for operatives and occupants alike.
Particular care was taken to maintain clear pedestrian access at the front of the property throughout the works. The scaffold footprint was kept compact, and the site was left clean and tidy at the end of each working day, in line with local authority standards and resident expectations.
As with all council-instructed projects, the scaffold was subject to formal handover checks and is covered by regular inspection procedures for the duration of the works, ensuring continued compliance and safe use by roofing contractors.
This project is another example of B-MAT Scaffolding’s ability to deliver safe, compliant, and efficient access solutions across the borough of Haringey. Our experience working on occupied residential properties allows us to respond quickly to urgent repairs while maintaining the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and reliability.
Short / Long Term Scaffolding Hire
When it comes to construction, renovation or property maintenance, having the right scaffolding solution in place is essential for safety, efficiency and compliance. Whether you are a homeowner needing temporary access to your roof for a few weeks, a building contractor overseeing a large commercial development, or a property manager planning long-term works, reliable scaffolding hire makes all the difference.
Scaffold Platforms
Scaffold platforms are an essential part of safe and efficient construction, repair, and maintenance projects across London and Essex. Whether you are working on a residential property in need of external access, a commercial building requiring large-scale scaffolding, or specialist works where stability and safety are critical, having the right scaffold platform in place ensures both productivity and compliance with health and safety standards.
Scaffolding / Access towers
When working at height, safety and stability are vital. That’s why so many homeowners, builders, and contractors rely on scaffolding and access towers for their projects across London and Essex. Whether you’re repairing a roof, painting the exterior of a property, or carrying out commercial maintenance, access towers provide a secure platform that allows work to be completed safely, quickly, and efficiently.
Replacing Fascias / Gutters
Fascias, soffits and gutters are vital parts of any building. They protect your property from water damage, keep your roofline secure, and ensure rainwater is directed away from walls and foundations. Over time, however, fascias and gutters can become damaged, weathered or blocked — leading to leaks, rot, damp and expensive repairs. Replacing fascias and gutters often requires safe access to awkward roof edges and upper storeys. That’s why professional scaffolding hire is essential. Our company provides specialist scaffolding hire for replacing fascias and gutters in London, Essex and Hertfordshire, with flexible short and long term hire options for homeowners, builders and roofing contractors.
House Refurbishment
House refurbishment projects come in all shapes and sizes, from small cosmetic upgrades to full-scale structural renovations. Whether you are modernising an older property, restoring a period home, or simply upgrading your roofline and windows, one thing remains constant: safe access is vital. Professional scaffolding hire ensures that every stage of a refurbishment project can be carried out safely, efficiently and in compliance with regulations.
