I am the building with the stained window needing work. I have booked a tall scaffold tower and going to hope for the best. They are going to have to stand the porch structure I think

Tbh i do think if you explain what you're doing, tell him you'll take responsibility for cleaning up and will send photos after he will be ok.

Apologies, I had that photo all kinds of wrong.
It doesn't look very safe to place a ladder on the porch roof. Not the easiest shape to put boards on the wall either. I'm not sure how much work you're having done to it though. If it's just replacing one pane then that's maybe more doable.
I'm sure cost is a factor but proper scaffolding would be much safer.

How were you handling access, scaffolding would seem appropriate, even the most careful tradesman would want protection against breaking that glass roof light. I would insist on covering it with a sheet of ply.
If I had this kind of text from someone I would assure them you will leave it clean and tell them you are having a scaffold lift installed above the floor level and the glass will be protected with an 18mm ply sheet.
The scaffold could have feet to spread load or put some ply under it.
If you had been planning ladder access that would seem very optimistic.
I would have plenty of concerns about working in that area.
