Front and Rear Scaffolds for Roof Works in Tottenham, North London
Location: Ashby Road, Tottenham North London N15 4PF
B-MAT Scaffolding was instructed to provide front and rear access scaffolding to a residential property in Tottenham, North London, as part of an ongoing local council roof maintenance and repair contract. The scaffold was required to support safe access for roofing works while maintaining resident safety and minimal disruption within a live housing environment.
The scaffold was designed to provide continuous access to the required roof areas from both elevations, allowing contractors to carry out inspections, repairs, and remedial works efficiently and safely. By installing front and rear scaffolds, the roofing team were able to work without the need for repeated access changes, helping to keep the project on programme.
All scaffolding was erected as an independent structure and installed in full compliance with TG21 guidance and SG4 working-at-height principles. Fully boarded working platforms were provided at roof level, complete with double guardrails, toe boards, and secure ladder access to ensure a safe working environment at all times.
As this project formed part of a local authority contract, particular attention was given to site management and resident safety. Clear access routes were maintained around the property, and the scaffold footprint was planned to minimise obstruction to entrances, walkways, and communal areas.
All works were carried out by trained and qualified operatives experienced in delivering scaffolding solutions for council-managed housing stock. The scaffold was inspected on completion and subject to regular statutory inspections for the duration of the roofing works, providing ongoing assurance of safety and compliance.
Reliability and programme coordination were key requirements on this project. B-MAT Scaffolding installed the scaffold in line with agreed schedules and coordinated closely with the roofing contractor to ensure works could proceed without delay. Upon completion of the roof works, the scaffold was dismantled promptly and safely in accordance with the council’s requirements.
