Roofer vs handyman vs scaffolder
| Job | Roofer | Handyman | Scaffolder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Replace 5 tiles + repoint ridge | ✅ Recommended | ⚠️ Risky at height | ❌ Not their work |
| Re-roof 3-bed semi | ✅ Recommended | ❌ Not enough | ⚠️ Erects scaffold |
| Flat-roof leak repair | ✅ Recommended | ⚠️ Stop-gap only | ❌ Not their work |
| Gutter clean / repair | ✅ Often | ✅ Yes | ❌ Not their work |
| Scaffold-only hire | ⚠️ Sub-contracts | ❌ No | ✅ Recommended |
Anything above one storey is a roofer job. Working at height without scaffold is a leading cause of trade injuries — never let a handyman improvise on the roof.
