Juliet imprisoned in castle keeps unsettling workers on roof (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

steeplejacks

'workers on roof' is the definition.
(a steeplejack carries out roof repairs)

'juliet imprisoned in castle keeps unsettling' is the wordplay.
'juliet' becomes 'J' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'imprisoned in' indicates putting letters inside.
'unsettling' is an anagram indicator.
'castle'+'keeps'='castlekeeps'
'castlekeeps' with letters rearranged gives 'steepleacks'.
'j' placed inside 'steepleacks' is 'STEEPLEJACKS'.
