Bugger. You got access to the back to get a cherry picker in?

No , but you can get scaffolding in as had some there when brother had some roof work done

Looking at your photos again, at the front they’ll not be able to fit scaffolding flush to the wall, I know your conservatory will project further out but when they are surveying might be worth asking.

Our solar install included scaffolding that went around and over our back pergola.

Can't remember if they put the poles on an angle or cheekily put a few poles in next door's garden without asking anyone, but either way they made it work.

Harder to do that with a conservatory I realise because there wouldn't be such good access.

We have conservatory & they put up scaffolding.

Coincidentally our installers do not just domestic but commercial installs all over the country and have a sister company for scaffolding but said scaffolding not an option for us so went with using a big cherry picker which was cheaper than scaffolding at £80 for the day, to be fair to them they passed the saving on to me.

Your Mum isn't making you both get solar at the same time so it's "fair"?

Might get some scaffolding labour cost savings!

She’ll be getting the export then, well minus charging of course.

If it was me I'd ask for a deal on a double order! Economies of scale, especially on the scaffolding.
