I suggested a tower for middle bit and added that on price for customer. The bit on right would be roofing ladder. To sand the wood at top best to have all equipment with you.Is this your property, or are you working for the householder ?
If you are working for the Householder you will have to work to H & S Standards ( i.e scaffolding )
possibly use scraper off pole.
Any dormers, anything above gutter height, get scaffolding. Been to visit a mate this week who's now in a wheelchair after a fall working on a roof without scaffold, it's not worth the risk.
If one improvises and the owner is aware then if there is a serious accident the Home Owner can be charged under the Occupiers Liability Act which carries very heavy fines and possibly Manslaughter Charges .
Have you heard of fall arrest gear - harness which hooks onto something which is over ridge?
Hss rent a mitower. It is 4 metres and working height of 6 metres. This should reach most of middle part of house. They have wheels

Would a harness and helmet and tied to roofing ladder be safe for right side?
Scaffolding would be great of course
People just don't want to pay. Most decorators use a ladder for middle part so a tower is better.
You're absolutely right but when I posted the question on a decorators forum no one mentioned scaffold just ladders. This goes to show how many people don't bother with scaffold on this kind of work. One guy mentioned the mitower from hss and recommended them.I would say the above is sound advice: book yourself a working at height course.
And have a look on youtube at stories about people who have fallen from height.
I know the comments on here do seem negative but the more working at height you do, the more chance of a bad fall happening. You dont want to become one of those people that have a lifetime of thinking 'if only I hadnt done that job without scaffolding just to save the customer a few quid'.
One of my subbies had a fall, tore his shoulder tendon. 6 months later and he can only lift that arm to chest height.
Too many people use towers incorrectly including pro builders, it really is worth having training to use them correctly.

For example why aren't all house's fitted with ibolts by law for people rachet their ladders to.
Then harness themselves to ladder.
