Edge Protection for Roofers
in Wellington
Reroofing requires edge protection — not full scaffolding. WorkSafe NZ compliant guardrails erected before your roofer arrives, with a handover certificate on every job. Covering Wellington, Kapiti Coast, Lower Hutt, and Wairarapa.
Required by law for reroofing jobs above 3 metres
WorkSafe NZ requires fall protection for any roof work above 3 metres. For reroofing, compliant edge protection — guardrails, midrails and toe boards at the roof perimeter — is mandatory before your roofer sets foot on the roof. Erect It Scaffolding's setups meet every WorkSafe requirement, with a handover certificate supplied at erection.
How it works
Simple, fast, and stress-free. We coordinate directly with your roofer so the edge protection is ready when they arrive.

What's included in reroofing edge protection
For a reroof, edge protection is the correct WorkSafe NZ solution — not full scaffolding. Edge protection means compliant perimeter guardrails, midrails and toe boards installed at eave height around your roof before your roofer arrives. It gives them a safe working perimeter and satisfies WorkSafe's fall protection requirements.
We also offer shrink-wrap encapsulation as an add-on — ideal for Wellington's unpredictable weather. If your reroof is happening over multiple weeks, shrink-wrap keeps the elements out between sessions and protects your home's interior from unexpected rain.
