Vertical flue through 4 pitched roof

[Millsy 82]

How do you go about putting a vertical flue up through a roof where you cant get a roof ladder to hook over anything.

They have a vertical flue in now and it's on a pitched roof but a side one if you get what I mean.

I'm guessing scaffold up then unsure what to do next.

Scaffolding probably mate. Any pics of the pitched roof?

I was going to take a couple of photos got chatting to the customers and forgot.

I'm planning on getting scaffolding up to gutter height. It's the actual going up the roof I cant get my head round as i cant hook a ladder over the ridge.

Get a roofer to do it pal .

Cherry picker or fragile roof access equipment?

It's trying to get one. Honestly getting trades in cornwall is a joke. Not sure if they are all stuck on the sites going on but nobody seems to want the work.

Something like this, only at first floor presumably?

Like the one in the pic not on the roof ?

Scaffolding will sort that

When they are awkward like that i just tell them they need to organise a roofer or scaffolder. Scaff is pricey and can be left up for weeks after plus likely hood of wrecking their beloved flower bed etc etc .

Put the onus on them

Like this on the side that you cant hook a roof ladder over.

It's on a 2 storey house so I think scaffolding to get up there then something to run up the roof.

If it’s second story yes scaf

If it’s first you could place your ladder up so it follows the pitch

Is there a chimney too?

Can then do it using climbing ropes/ harness etc - I have a mate for those jobs whose hobby is mountain climbing.

 

[Millsy 82]

No chimney.

Tough one then, cheapest of scaffold and cherry picker - if you can get one near enough.

If similar cost cherry picker is more fun!
