What hire includes
From first look to last rail off the roof
One crew handles the whole hire. You are not left managing gear, chasing inspections or arranging collection.
- 01
Site assessment
We look at the roofline, height, pitch, access and ground conditions, plus the work your trades will be doing, before recommending a system.
- 02
Installation
Our crew installs the guardrail system to suit the site and in line with the system manufacturer’s instructions and applicable requirements.
- 03
Handover
Before trades use it, we hand the system over with Erect It installation and handover documentation for your records.
- 04
Inspections
Inspections are carried out during the hire, and we come back to adjust or check the system if conditions or the work change.
- 05
Dismantling
Once the roof work is finished, we dismantle and remove everything so your hire period stays as short as the job allows.
Suitable projects
Jobs where trades work on the roof
Edge protection suits work done on the roof surface. If your trades also need to stand beside the walls or at eave level, a scaffold may be the better fit, or the two together.
Reroofing
Perimeter guardrails in place before your roofer starts, and removed when they finish. See also our reroofing scaffolding page if platforms are needed.
Reroofing scaffoldingRoof painting
A guardrail at the roof edge while painters work on the roof surface. Wall-level painting usually needs a scaffold platform instead.
Solar installation
Protection on the working elevation or the full perimeter, timed around your installer. Coverage depends on the risk assessment for the job.
Solar scaffoldingRoof repairs
Gutters, fascia, flashings, chimneys, skylights and ventilation. Short jobs still need the fall risk managed.
Fall risk is not limited by a height threshold
WorkSafe guidance is clear that falls below 3 metres also need controls. The right setup for your roof comes from a site-specific risk assessment. We install each system to suit the site, following the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable requirements, and hand it over with Erect It installation and handover documentation.
Choosing the right access
Edge protection or a scaffold platform?
Guardrails and working platforms do different jobs. Here is how we think about it. We confirm the recommendation after seeing the site.
Guardrail at the roof edge
Edge protection
- Helps stop people and materials going over the perimeter
- Trades work on the roof surface itself
- Common for reroofs, roof painting, solar and roof repairs
- No working deck alongside the walls
Working access beside the building
Scaffold platform
- A deck to stand on at wall or eave level
- Room to stage and move materials
- Suits cladding, wall painting, gutters from below, multiple trades
- Can be combined with roof edge protection
Need platforms too? See scaffolding in Wellington or scaffolding hire.
What affects cost
Every roof is quoted on its own
We do not publish flat rates because two houses on the same street can need very different systems. These are the things that move the price.
- Perimeter length
- How many metres of roof edge need guardrail.
- Height
- Single or multi-storey, and the height at each edge.
- Roof pitch
- Steeper roofs can change the system and components we use.
- Access
- Driveways, boundaries, stairs and how gear gets to the roof.
- Ground conditions
- Sloping, soft or uneven ground under any supports.
- Hire duration
- How long the trades need the system in place.
