Roof & Chimney Scaffolding
Roof work is one of the riskiest jobs in construction, and ladders alone are not a safe way to work on a roof or chimney. LMT Scaffolding provides roof and chimney scaffolding in Swansea and across South Wales, giving roofers, builders and homeowners a solid working platform with guardrails at the edge.
We work for roofing contractors and homeowners alike, from a single chimney stack that needs repointing to a full perimeter scaffold for a complete re-roof. Every scaffold is built to TG20:21 guidance and inspected before your roofer steps onto it.
Chimney Scaffolding Swansea
There are two main ways to scaffold a chimney, and we’ll recommend the right one after looking at your roof.
Where the chimney is on a gable end and access allows, we build the scaffold up the side of the house to the stack, giving a full working platform around the chimney with safe ladder access from the ground.
For stacks in the middle of a roof or on terraced houses with no side access, we build a chimney scaffold on the roof itself, spreading the load across the roof, with an access scaffold at the eaves so your roofer can climb up safely.
Repointing, flashing and lead work, chimney pots and cowls, capping, partial rebuilds and full chimney removals.

FAQs
What homeowners and roofers ask us most about roof and chimney scaffolding.
In most cases, yes. Chimney repairs involve working at height on a sloping roof, and a scaffold with a full platform and guardrails is the safest way to do the work. Ladders and roof ladders alone don’t give the stable platform or edge protection needed for repointing, lead work or rebuilding.
It depends on the height of the house, the position of the chimney and whether we can scaffold from the ground or need a roof-mounted scaffold. We give a free, fixed written quote after a site visit or from clear photos.
Most chimney scaffolds are erected within a day, often in a few hours. Complex roofs or tall buildings may take longer and we’ll tell you at the quote stage.
Roof-mounted chimney scaffolds are built on boards and pads that spread the load across the roof, and we take care to avoid damaging tiles or slates. We point out any loose or broken tiles before we start.
