"Received very friendly service from Dhillon and his team. When we needed to adjust the scaffolding on one side of the house to better reach a certain spot, the team came out and did what was required. We also ended up needing the scaffolding for a few weeks longer than originally agreed due to weather and illness, which wasn't a problem and took some pressure off. Would recommend and will use again."

When Roof Edge Protection Is Required in Wellington

Any work that takes a tradie onto a Wellington roof above 3 metres needs compliant fall protection in place before they start.

Reroofing

WorkSafe NZ requires roof edge protection before any roofer can legally start work. We install and handover before your roofer arrives and dismantle once they're done — keeping your hire period and your costs tight.

Roof painting

Painters working on Wellington roofs need a compliant guardrail at the perimeter throughout the job. Roof edge protection is faster and cheaper than full scaffolding for painting-only jobs.

Solar panel installation

Solar crews need 2–5 days of safe roof access. We coordinate directly with your installer and can cover one elevation or the full perimeter — whatever the job requires.

Gutter & fascia replacement

Guttering at height requires fall protection. Roof edge protection keeps tradespeople safe without blocking the overhang — critical on Wellington's tight-section properties.

Chimney, skylights & ventilation

Short-duration roof work still requires compliance. We can install roof edge protection for single-day jobs as well as multi-week projects — same WorkSafe certificate, same standard.

Steep hillside roofs

Kelburn, Karori, Northland, Wadestown, Newtown, Eastbourne, Seatoun — Wellington's hillside suburbs require extended uprights and additional bracing. We know these streets and these roofs.

Roof Edge Protection in Wellington — What You Need to Know

Roof edge protection is a guardrail system installed at the perimeter of a roof to prevent workers from falling off the edge. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and WorkSafe NZ guidelines, it is required for all roof work above 3 metres in Wellington — including reroofing, roof painting, solar panel installation, gutter replacement, skylight fitting, chimney repointing, and any other task that takes a tradie onto the roof surface. Before work can legally begin, a signed handover certificate confirming the system is compliant must be in place.

Roof edge protection vs full scaffolding — which do you need?

For most straightforward Wellington roof jobs — a reroof on a single or two-storey home, a roof paint, a solar installation, or a gutter replacement — roof edge protection is the correct and most cost-effective solution. It provides a compliant guardrail at the roof perimeter without creating a multi-level working platform. Full scaffolding is needed when trades need to work alongside the building (at wall height), when materials need to be carried from the ground at multiple levels, or when the project requires enclosed shrink-wrap protection. If you're unsure which applies to your job, Dhillon will advise you honestly when you ring for a quote.

Roof edge protection for Wellington's hillside suburbs

Wellington is known for its steep hillside sections — and a large proportion of our roof edge protection jobs are in suburbs like Karori, Khandallah, Northland, Wadestown, Kelburn, Brooklyn, Newtown, Hataitai, Island Bay, Eastbourne, and Seatoun. Steep-pitch roofs require extended uprights, additional bracing at base plates, and more careful system planning to ensure the guardrail is stable and fully WorkSafe compliant. We've been doing this work across Wellington's hills for years, and we factor access complexity into every quote upfront — no surprises when we arrive on site.

How the process works in Wellington

Call or message Dhillon with your address, the type of roof work, and your tradie's planned start date. We come back with a fixed price within 24 hours — usually the same day for standard Wellington jobs. We coordinate access with the homeowner, install the roof edge protection before your contractor arrives, issue the handover certificate, and dismantle promptly once the work is done. The hire period runs from install to dismantle — typically one to two weeks for most Wellington reroofs and repaints.
