Winter is coming, and with it comes frost, ice and seriously hazardous working conditions for anyone working at height.
A roof may look perfectly fine from the ground - but frost can turn it into a sheet of ice.
โ ๏ธ DO NOT TAKE THE RISK.
A fall from a roof can have life-changing consequences. It is simply not worth taking the risk. ๐จ
Before starting work:
๐ด STOP AND ASSESS THE CONDITIONS
๐ด Check roofs, ladders, scaffolding and access points for frost and ice
๐ด Do not work on surfaces that cannot be made safe
๐ด Use suitable PPE and safe access equipment
๐ด Keep work areas and access routes clear
๐ด Monitor conditions throughout the day
๐ด If it's unsafe โ STOP WORK.
No job is so urgent that it is worth risking your life or someone else's.
Take the extra time. Make it safe. Go home safely. ๐ฆบโ๏ธ

Someone turns up at your door claiming your roof needs urgent repairs?
โ ๏ธ STOP โ donโt feel pressured to agree to anything.
High-pressure doorstep selling can leave homeowners agreeing to expensive work before theyโve had time to properly check the problem, compare prices or research the contractor.
๐ด Never feel forced to make a decision on the spot.
๐ด Get everything in writing.
๐ด Get a second opinion where possible.
๐ด Check who you are dealing with.
๐ด Donโt hand over money simply because someone says the work is urgent.
A reputable roofing contractor should be happy for you to take time to consider your options.
If someone is pressuring you at your front door, close the door and take a step back. You do not have to agree to anything.
Your roof is important and so is protecting yourself. ๐

Roofing is one of the trades where weather conditions can have a significant impact on safety. Working at height in strong or gusty winds can increase the risk to roofers, homeowners and anyone nearby.
Why does wind matter?
Strong winds can:
๐นMake working at height unstable and dangerous
๐นMake ladders, scaffolding and roof access more difficult to use safely
๐นCause roofing materials, tools and equipment to become airborne
๐นMake large sheets, membranes and insulation particularly difficult to handle
๐นIncrease the risk of slips, trips and falls
๐นCreate additional risks around scaffolding and temporary structures
A competent roofing contractor should assess the conditions before and during the work and stop or postpone work where the conditions become unsafe.
The below measurements are from the Beaufort Wind Scale:
CONTINUE WORK AS NORMAL โ๏ธ
4 โ 7 mph is classed as a light breeze
8 โ 12 mph is classed as gentle breeze
13 โ 18 mph is classed as moderate breeze
CARE TO BE TAKEN, BALANCE WILL BE AFFECTED โ ๏ธ
19 โ 24 mph is classed as fresh breeze
CEASE WORK ๐
25 โ 31 mph is classed as strong breeze
32 โ 38 mph is classed as near gale
39 โ 46 mph is classed as gale
47 โ 54 mph is classed as strong gale
55 โ 63 mph is classed as storm
64 โ 72 mph is classed as violent storm
The above guidance is for working at height.
