The work your roofer wishes to carry out does not involve any heavy or awkward tools. A simple bucket and brush or indeed a spray are all he needs. We often work at similar heights to carry out water seals and where possible we work using ladders. Your roofer finds himself in a difficult situation. The scaffolders are unlikely to erect another scaffold free of charge, and you are unlikely to want to pay the additional scaffold charges, especially given the work is only likely to take a single day. I would advise letting the roofer carry on, perhaps insisting that he employs someone with the sole purpose of footing the ladder..
