1. Initial Site Assessment for Scaffold Roofs
Every installation begins with a detailed site assessment. Our team visits the property to evaluate:
-
Access Points
-
Ground Conditions
-
Surrounding Structures
-
Any Potential Obstacles
This information is essential for planning the scaffold configuration and ensuring we can install the temporary roof safely and efficiently.
2. Temporary Roof Scaffold Design and Planning
Following the assessment, we develop a scaffold roof design tailored to the building’s size, shape, and project requirements. This includes calculations for load-bearing capacity, bracing, tie-ins, and weather resistance. If temporary roofs require a crane lift or rolling roof sections, these are factored into the design at this stage. All designs are prepared in accordance with industry standards and safety regulations.
3. Base Scaffold Erection
Once the design is approved, we begin erecting the base scaffold. This structure provides the foundation for the temporary roof and includes access scaffold platforms for workers, edge protection, and loading bays if required. We can also erect roofs on existing scaffolding.
4. Installation of Roof Beams or Trusses
Next, we install the temporary roof structure, typically using aluminium or steel truss beams. Depending on the project, these may be assembled at ground level and craned into position, or built in situ from working platforms. The trusses form the main support framework for the roof covering and are carefully aligned to maintain load integrity.
5. Installation of the Roof Cover
Once the framework is in place, we apply the chosen roofing material, which is usually shrink wrap or corrugated sheets. We tension and secure the covering to create a tight, weatherproof seal that protects the building and worksite below from rain, wind, and debris.
6. Final Scaffold Inspection and Handover
After installation, a qualified supervisor carries out a full scaffold inspection to confirm that temporary roofs are safe, compliant, and ready for use. We provide documentation where required and remain on hand for any adjustments or ongoing maintenance during the course of the project.
