Our Approach
Each scaffold was erected in one day, with the structures remaining on site for about a week. This let the solar contractors start promptly and allowed our team to remove the scaffolds when the clients were ready. For another residential project requiring tailored access and roof protection, see our repointing and restoration scaffolding in Bury.
We coordinated the three sites across Bramhall, Didsbury and Sale to minimise disruption to homeowners’ driveways and gardens.
Triple guard rails and locked ladder guards helped protect roof edges and deter unauthorised access, while gin wheels supported the movement of panels and equipment.
Gin wheels at roof level gave installers a practical way to raise panels, reducing manual handling during installation.
After the installations were commissioned and tested, we returned at the clients’ request for prompt strike-down at each home.
