Out of interest, do you need a ticket or cert to work at roof height?

You do not need any certification.

Why do you think you would need any certification ? You can be a prime minister and be a raving idiot  ;D

Joe,
Unless you are after quick bucks, leave it to the guys that know what they are doing,, more to it then just blasting off crap and applying  a sealer,  failing that smart seal or your local gypsy camp will give you all the info needed.
Good Luck  :)

Not looking at it as a quick buck to be fair Rog. Looking into it as an add-on. The beauty of a forum is that you can ask anything. The downside though, I guess, is that the majority of answer-seekers are just looking for someone to make their money for them or tell them it's easy.

Cheers for your input Chris.
