Temporary Roof Scaffold

Temporary Roof Scaffolding

A temporary roof scaffold can provide a working platform just below the gutter, giving roofers access to carry out the work. Above that, a covered structure protects the property while the roof is open. It helps keep rain and other weather out during roof repairs, loft conversions, extensions and similar work.

Temporary roofs for projects of all sizes

We provide temporary roofs for everything from individual properties to large building projects. The cover can protect the full site, or a specific area where the work requires it. We’ll plan the setup around your project so work can get underway. A typical temporary roof takes around two days to install. Larger structures may take longer, and we’ll confirm the timescale when we quote.

What your temporary roof can include

  • Working platforms for access to the roof
  • Metal roof sheets above the work area
  • Monoflex sheeting around the sides where needed
  • Access, edge protection and loading bays where the job calls for them

Each setup depends on the work and the site.

We’ll agree an expected hire period based on your project schedule. If the work takes longer than planned, we can arrange for the temporary roof to stay in place for as long as the project needs it.

It can be possible to cover a large building without supports in the middle. The span depends on the size and layout of the site. We’ll assess the job and arrange an engineered design where needed.

It usually lasts for the length of a normal project, which may be a few months. If the project runs longer and the sheeting starts to deteriorate, we can agree the cost of replacing it before fitting new Monoflex.

There is no single wind speed for every temporary roof. We plan each structure for its site and carry out checks after high winds to make sure everything remains in order.

No, you do not normally need a permit for a temporary roof scaffold on private property. If any part of the scaffold needs to stand on or over a public footpath, road or alleyway, a licence from the local authority may be required. We can arrange that for you.
