TEMPORARY ROOF SCAFFOLDING

Every temporary roof is different, so there’s no fixed price. The cost will depend on factors such as the size of the building, the roof system required, the complexity of the scaffold and how long it’s needed for. Get in touch with our team and we’ll provide a quotation based on your project.

There’s no single answer. Keder roof systems are a popular choice for larger spans, while sheeted or shrink wrap systems may be better suited to other projects. We’ll recommend the most appropriate solution once we’ve assessed the building and the work being carried out.

A temporary roof is a weatherproof structure built above a scaffold to protect a building while roofing, repair or refurbishment work takes place. It keeps the work area sheltered and helps reduce disruption caused by the weather.

The scaffold is installed first to create a stable structure. Once that’s in place, the roof framework and weatherproof covering are added. The exact method varies from project to project, depending on the size of the building and the type of roof system being used.

That depends on the scale of the project. A temporary roof for a house can often be installed within a few days, while larger commercial or industrial projects naturally take longer. We’ll give you a realistic programme before work begins.

Yes. Temporary roofs are designed for year-round use and are built to withstand normal weather conditions. Like any scaffold, they should be inspected regularly and after severe weather to confirm they’re still safe to use.

Usually not, but every project is different. Factors such as the location of the scaffold, the length of time it’ll be in place and whether it affects a public highway can all influence what’s required. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to advise.

Yes. It’s common for temporary roofs to be installed over homes, schools, commercial premises and other occupied buildings, allowing work to continue while protecting the people and property below.

Legislation requires that scaffolding must be inspected before it’s first used, every seven days while it’s in place and after anything that could affect its stability, such as severe weather or significant alterations. Inspection records should be kept throughout the project.

Yes. Temporary roof scaffolding is often used during restoration work on listed and heritage buildings because it protects the structure while specialist repairs are carried out. Every installation is designed around the building and the work involved.

It can stay in place for as long as the project requires, provided it’s inspected and maintained in line with current regulations. We’ll discuss the expected programme with you during the planning stage and make sure the scaffold remains suitable throughout the works.
