How to attach scaffold to a wall?
Are there clip/bolts for sale,
if so what are they called,
or where on the interweb shall I look?
Some double brick walls,
some thick stone and lime walls.
And is there readymade flashing
so scaffold can come out of the slated roof?

Scaffolding eyes are the traditional way for tall scaffolds:

scaffolding away from the building down to the ground) might suffice.
Otherwise, scaffolding eyes, or 10mm anchor bolts or thread forming
anchor bolts, these used with big washers and steel wire if you've nowt
else.
If there are windows in the right place you can rope through the windows
and the room doors in a big loop.

provide access for (house) roof repairs - and that was just
free-standing, with outriggers etc. keeping it stable, like Bill said.

plate with a scaffold fitting. Tighten a screw or two to spread the split
plate. Not something I'd trust :)
On your conservatory point, I need to get above mine (lean-to, 9 feet front
to back) to re-seal it to the wall. Any suggestions without making props
etc?

What sort of scaffold? Real steel scaffold properly put up and braced
> How to attach scaffold to a wall?
is a) sodding heavy b) very stable. When we had proper scaffolding
put up hear to paint the walls it was free standing and no outriggers
but did form a sort of question mark shape along 4 walls. If it had
just been two or three risers and a straight run I suspect it would
have outriggers.
A lightweight ali tower is a different matter but the outriggers
ought to make it stable, if not they aren't doing their job.

in afterwards. They aren't noticeable and they will be there for next
time. Also they will be good for the street decorations at the Coronation.

Fortunately I have a wooden house, and it was easy to screw large bolts
through the weatherboards into the framing.

roof panels? If you can do that, you should be able to access the frame
to wall joint from the inside. That's what I did when I had some
conservatory roof leaks a few years ago.

I could maybe remove panels but guess I'd have a nightmare re-sealing them.

In article <lee54i$6k0$3...@speranza.aioe.org>,
I asked the scaffolders to leave them in at the back, and to leave
the holes at the front but to unscrew the eyes, which I kept. I
used one to tie the top of the ladder to later on.

with polycarbonate roof panels. After prising off the beading, the
panels can be lifted or slid out. I managed to get some of the correct
section of rubber seals for mine, and so replaced all the roof seals
when putting the panels back.
You haven't said what yours is made of, so I've no idea how easily you
could do something similar.

as they climb,
Spring loaded serrated cams, pull the lever to retract the cams, push in a
crack in the rock, release the lever and attach rope, then rely on it 100%
because some bloke told you it could hold a double decker bus up... fuck
that.

job. Oddly enough, I went to look for an example online to answer this
post but couldn't see one anywhere. I wonder if that's a measure of
their reliability? They seemed to do the job fine though.

you can't do that then one alternative is to use Putlock fittings into
