Safe, Compliant Edge Protection Across Wellington
Working at height comes with serious risks — which is why having the right edge protection in place is not just best practice, it's a legal requirement under WorkSafe NZ. At Erect It Scaffolding, we provide professional edge protection in Wellington for residential, commercial, and construction projects across the full Wellington region.
Our edge protection systems are designed to reduce fall hazards while providing safe access for roofers, painters, builders, solar installers, and maintenance contractors. Whether you're reroofing a villa in Karori, installing solar panels in Miramar, or managing a commercial building in the Wellington CBD — Erect It has the right system for your property and your trade.
Every edge protection installation comes with a WorkSafe NZ handover certificate issued before any trades begin. We're SiteWise Gold 2026/27 certified and carry full insurance — the same standard required by Wellington's major construction contractors, applied to every residential job we take on.

Our Edge Protection Services — Wellington
We supply and install edge protection for a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications across Wellington.
Residential Reroofing
Required by WorkSafe NZ for any roof work above 3m. Wellington's mix of iron roofs, concrete tiles, and long-run roofing across Karori, Newtown, Johnsonville and the Hutt Valley means high reroof demand — edge protection keeps your roofer safe at the perimeter throughout the job.
Solar Panel Installation
Solar installers need multi-day compliant roof access. Edge protection provides a continuous perimeter guardrail so installers can work safely across the full roof surface without the cost of full scaffolding on straightforward pitches.
Exterior Painting
WorkSafe NZ requires fall protection for roof-level painting work. For many Wellington homes, edge protection is more cost-effective than full perimeter scaffolding. We coordinate directly with your painter — up when they're ready, down when they finish.
Gutter & Fascia Replacement
Gutter replacements and fascia repairs require safe access at the roof edge. Our edge protection systems keep tradies protected without blocking overhangs or driveways — critical on Wellington's tight urban sections.
Steep-Pitch & Hillside Roofs
Wellington hillside suburbs — Kelburn, Northland, Ngaio, Wadestown, Aro Valley — have steep pitch roofs that are particularly hazardous. Our edge protection is rated for steep pitch installations across all Wellington terrain.
Chimney, Skylight & Flashing Work
Any work that takes a tradie to the roof requires fall protection. We install edge protection for short-duration jobs as well as extended projects — chimney repointing, skylight installation, ventilation, and flashing repairs.
Edge Protection or Full Scaffolding — Which Do You Need?
For some jobs, edge protection is the right tool. For others, full scaffolding is essential. Here's how to tell the difference — or call Dhillon and he'll advise you directly.
Use edge protection when…
- Single-storey reroofing where the roofer works directly at eave level
- Solar panel or skylight installation on a straightforward pitch
- Gutter or fascia repairs with no need for full working platforms
- Budget is the primary consideration and full boards aren't needed for the trade
- Short-duration work where full scaffolding erect/dismantle time is impractical
Use full scaffolding when…
- Two-storey or complex rooflines requiring working platforms above eave height
- Painters also need access while reroofing or cladding work is underway
- The roofer requires material staging at roof level
- Re-battening, re-underlaying, or structural repairs requiring extended access time
- Multiple trades need simultaneous access at different height levels
Not sure which is right for your job? Call Dhillon on 027 886 6688 — he'll advise the most cost-effective compliant solution for your property.

Erect It Scaffolding — HomeEdge Protection Wellington: planned for the local site
Wellington projects often combine steep sections, narrow access, close neighbours, exposed wind and limited room for loading. We inspect the actual site rather than assuming a flat, open setup, then design the scaffold around the building, the trade sequence and the safest practical access route.
Our crew coordinates erection and dismantling with your roofer, painter, builder or project manager. The quoted scope sets out erection, hire and dismantling clearly, while every completed scaffold is checked before handover so the people using it know the access is ready.
WorkSafe-aligned roof edge protection for Wellington reroofing, solar installation, guttering, painting and construction. SiteWise Gold 2026/27 prequalification, WorkSafe-aligned erection practices and clear handover documentation are part of the service, whether the job is a single elevation or a staged project involving several trades.
