Just bought a house, and in the near-ish future i'll need to replace

Most of the house is probably manageable, but how the hell do you work
above a conservatory without having to call someone in at hellish
expense with masses of scaffolding ?

I was surprised how cheap scaffolding was in the peak of the
economic boom. I rather suspect it might be even cheaper now.
I needed to replace some of the roof and had it erected for
that. Also took the opportunity to replace facias, guttering,
bottom strip of felt, and fit felt support trays.
All a complete doddle with the scaffolding there.

I need to do some facias and guttering on another side, and
I'll probably get scaffolding again. This would allow me to
go further and also replace the bottom strip of felt, and
fit felt support trays on that side too.
