At SBC Scaffolding Limited, we provide reliable edge protection systems for construction, roofing and maintenance projects in Bolton and across Greater Manchester.
Our edge protection helps create safer working environments by reducing the risk of falls from roofs, platforms and exposed edges.
Safe Edge Protection Systems
Edge protection is an important safety measure when working at height. At SBC Scaffolding Limited, we provide practical systems designed to protect workers around exposed roof edges, openings and other areas where there is a risk of falling.
We assess each project's requirements and install suitable edge protection to provide secure, reliable protection throughout the work. Edge protection is often built as part of our access scaffolding, giving roofers a safe platform and a guarded edge in one structure.
Edge Protection for Construction Projects
Our edge protection services are suitable for a range of applications, including:
- New-build construction
- Roof work and repairs
- Building extensions
- Property refurbishment
- Commercial projects
- Industrial buildings
- Maintenance work
At SBC Scaffolding Limited, we provide edge protection solutions designed to suit each site's specific requirements, helping contractors and tradespeople work safely at height. For roofing jobs that will take a while, ask us about a temporary roof as well.
Why Edge Protection Matters
Falls from height remain one of the biggest causes of serious injury in construction. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require work at height to be properly planned, with falls prevented wherever possible, and guardrails are one of the most effective ways to do that. The HSE guidance on working at height sets out what duty holders are expected to do.

Edge Protection FAQs
Edge protection is needed wherever someone could fall from an edge while working at height, such as a flat roof, the eaves of a pitched roof, an open floor edge or a stairwell void. The law requires falls to be prevented wherever possible, and guardrails are one of the main ways to do that.
A typical system has a main guardrail, an intermediate guardrail and a toe board fixed along the exposed edge. On pitched roofs it is usually built from the scaffold at eaves level so it also stops tools and materials sliding off.
Yes. We fit edge protection for domestic roofing jobs such as re-roofing, chimney work and flat roof replacements, as well as on commercial and new-build sites.
