Our own cherry picker, our own scissor lift, our own IPAF-trained operators. No third-party access companies, no scaffolding wait times.
WP Roofing & Building Ltd are the leading local working at heights specialists in Cumbria. With over 30 years of combined industry experience and our own access equipment, we handle jobs other roofers simply can't — multi-storey heritage buildings, tall industrial units, hard-access flat roofs.
We invested early in our own MEWP cherry picker, scissor lift and full IPAF training. The result: faster turnaround, lower costs (no third-party hire fees), and the experience to do every job safely first time.
From listed buildings to factories — if it's high, awkward or hard to reach, we're well-equipped to handle it.
Multi-storey Victorian and listed properties across Cumbria — accessed safely without scaffolding scarring the brickwork.
Tall warehouses, factory roofs and industrial cladding work — covered by our cherry picker's reach.
Flat blocks where scaffolding access would block residents and disrupt parking — we work cleanly with our MEWP.
Restricted gardens, narrow streets, tight courtyards — places traditional scaffolding can't easily reach.
One-day repairs that don't justify scaffolding hire fees — sorted in hours, not weeks.
When the roof can't wait for scaffolding to be booked, designed and erected — we turn up ready to work.
Multi-storey buildings, hotels, schools and commercial premises. Annual or one-off gutter clears and unblocking using our cherry picker — no awkward ladder work.
Blocked gutters cause more damage to a building than almost anything else — overflowing water rots fascias, damages soffits, soaks brickwork and eventually finds its way inside. The hard part has always been safely getting up to clean them.
Our 26m cherry picker reaches gutters that ladders simply can't — multi-storey buildings, hotels, schools, care homes, commercial units and large family homes. We clear leaves, moss, blockages and bird debris quickly and safely, and check the gutter system while we're up there.
Working at heights is the single biggest cause of serious workplace injury in construction. We take that seriously. Every operator on our cherry picker and scissor lift holds a current IPAF licence, and we work to a documented method statement on every job.
That matters whether you're a homeowner asking for a one-day repair or a facilities manager arranging access for an industrial site — same standards, same paperwork, same insurance cover.
Tell us about it. Send us a photo if you can. We'll let you know if our cherry picker is the right kit, and quote properly for the work.
