Scaffolders are a different breed and will be subbed in by the roofers. Accountability is key so I would ask for something in writing (or verbally, if you implicitly trust your neighbours) that any damage will be put right by hook or by crook. The scaffolders won't give a shit so either the neighbours themselves or their roofers will need to be responsible.

Yeah I’m not very happy with it, particularly as there’s no incentive for scaffolders/etc to not fuck our garden up and access is either via ladder over the shared wall or through a bush into our front garden then right around the side of the house.
I’ve attached the layout below - we’re pink, nice neighbours are yellow, scaffold requesters are blue with their only access in green (a narrow path). It looks to me as if scaffold in our garden (and neighbours) is unavoidable - depending on the work obviously. No booze supplied yet and I don’t think there’s much scope for sharing the scaffold, without large additions.
