Temporary Roofing

Whenever the permanent roof covering is coming off and the building below has to stay dry — re-roofs, loft conversions, listed roof works, and emergency repairs after fire or flood. Without one, a wet fortnight becomes a wet fortnight of delay and water gets into ceilings, plaster and floors.

As long as the works need. It is inspected through the hire, including after severe weather, and the hire period is agreed in the written price with extension available if the programme runs on.

A temporary roof is a large surface in the wind, so the scaffold beneath it is designed and tied for the uplift that creates rather than for access alone. It is inspected after severe weather as a matter of course.

Where the diary allows, yes — securing a damaged property quickly is one of the main reasons temporary roofs get called for. Call the office and we will tell you honestly what we can do and when.

Yes. Temporary roofing is available anywhere in the working area, which runs from the Stevenage yard across Hertfordshire into Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.

If the scaffold stands on or over public land — a pavement, a verge or a road — the local authority requires a licence. We apply for it, deal with the council and build to whatever conditions they attach, such as lighting, hoarding or a protected pedestrian route. If the scaffold sits entirely on private property, no licence is normally needed. We will tell you which applies at the survey.

Most domestic scaffolds go up in a day, and many in a few hours. Larger commercial structures, temporary roofs and anything requiring a bespoke design take longer, and phased jobs are erected in sections to suit the programme. You get a date at the point of quoting, and the crew arrives on it.
