how high roughly would the apex of the roof of a normal 2 story house be as i cant find an answer on google.
basically i have a house i need to reach the top of an apex on that will have to be accessed by scaffold tower and i need to know what height i need to hire in to reach safely and i cant think of a way to measure it easily.
thanks

depends on the style of the house mate. My house's gable is 23 ft. Easy way to measure is measure floor to ceiling, mine is
ground floor = 8 ft
up stairs = 8ft
loft = floor to centre of apex 7 ft
total = 23 ft |

Count the bricks in the wall.
An average brick is 4" wide.Then work out the height.
i.e if you have 100bricks from ground to apex thats 400" divide by 12= 33ft and 3"  |

if its a victorian style house you could be talking 30ft.
60s/70s/80s houses between 22ft and 27ft as stated above.
