Alex Scaffolding provides professionally installed scaffolding edge protection and temporary handrails for building, roofing and maintenance projects across Leatherhead, Surrey and South London. Our systems help create a safer working area at roof level, around open edges and beside access routes, giving contractors and property owners a practical solution for short-term or longer projects.
Reliable Edge Protection for Safer Work at Height
Unprotected roof edges, fragile surfaces and open working areas can create serious risks. A correctly planned roof edge protection system provides a physical barrier that helps reduce the risk of falls and supports safer movement around the work area. We can install guardrails, scaffold handrails, toe boards and access arrangements to suit the building and the work being carried out.
Every installation is assessed individually. We consider the roof shape, access points, ground conditions, working height and the requirements of the contractors using the system. Our scaffolders then install a stable solution designed around the project rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all arrangement.
Temporary Handrails and Guardrails
Temporary handrail systems are suitable for roof repairs, chimney work, gutter replacement, loft conversions, new-build projects, solar panel installation and general property maintenance. They can also be used around temporary working platforms, flat roofs, stair openings and other exposed areas.
- Roof edge protection for domestic and commercial properties
- Temporary guardrails and scaffold handrails
- Safe access for roofers, builders and maintenance teams
- Toe boards and protected working platforms where required
- Short-term installations for quick repair and maintenance work
Fast Installation for Domestic and Commercial Projects
Edge protection is often faster and more cost-effective than a full scaffold when the work only requires protected access around a roof or platform. We aim to arrange surveys promptly, provide a clear quotation and install the agreed system with minimal disruption. For larger schemes, edge protection can be combined with our commercial scaffolding. Homeowners and local trades can also view our domestic scaffolding services.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is edge protection needed?
It is commonly required when people will work near an exposed roof edge, open platform or other fall risk. The correct arrangement depends on the property and the work, so we assess each project before quoting.
Can you install temporary handrails without a full scaffold?
Often, yes. For suitable buildings and tasks, a focused temporary handrail or guardrail system may provide the protection required without scaffolding the entire property.
How quickly can edge protection be installed?
Installation time depends on the size and access conditions. Smaller projects can often be completed quickly once the survey, quotation and installation date have been agreed.
Do you remove the system when the work is finished?
Yes. We arrange dismantling after the customer or contractor confirms that the project is complete and the protection is no longer required.
