About this service
Why Essex builders choose us for temporary roof scaffolding
A temporary roof system combines a standard access scaffold with a lightweight aluminium roof beam and shrink-wrap or sheeted cladding, creating a dry envelope over the whole roof area. Work carries on regardless of the weather and finished surfaces below stay protected.
We use temporary roofs on domestic re-roofs, listed-building repairs, fire-damaged properties, chimney rebuilds and commercial refurbishments. Every roof is designed for local wind loadings and inspected weekly for the duration of the hire.
Where a full temporary roof isn't required we can quote a partial cover, monopitch or bay-only solution — often at a fraction of the cost.

FAQs
Temporary Roof Scaffolding questions, answered
When is a temporary roof needed?
Any project that opens up the existing roof for more than a few days — full re-roofs, structural repairs, fire damage or listed-building work — benefits from a temporary roof to keep the property dry.
How much does temporary roof scaffolding cost?
Cost depends on the roof footprint, height, complexity and hire duration. We survey every job and issue a written fixed quote.
Can you install a temporary roof on a commercial building?
Yes — we regularly install temporary roofs on schools, retail units and industrial buildings, phased around live operations where needed.
