Temporary Roofs for Renovations, Repairs & Refurbishments

Temporary roof scaffolding is essential when a building’s upper structure is exposed to the elements. Whether you’re removing an old roof, converting a loft, or carrying out long-term maintenance, our systems keep your site protected and your schedule on track.

We work with homeowners, builders, and property managers across Mid Sussex to deliver watertight coverage that’s tailored to the size and shape of your building.

By shielding your site from wind and rain, temporary roofs help prevent:

  • Internal water damage.

  • Weather-related delays.

  • Material degradation.

  • Site safety hazards.

We’ll handle the full installation, including gable or mono-pitch designs, and ensure the structure is secure, stable, and properly enclosed, giving your team the access and protection they need to work safely.

A Safer, Smarter Alternative to Tarpaulins or Open-Top Scaffolds

Temporary roofs aren’t just about keeping rain out, they’re about creating a safer, more efficient working environment.

Unlike basic tarpaulin covers or makeshift sheeting, our scaffold-mounted temporary roofs are built to withstand the demands of UK weather. They’re secured to the main scaffold frame and allow for easier access, safer movement, and better protection for everyone on site.

Why choose a professional temporary roof?

  • Strong, stable framework: Designed to resist wind uplift and maintain structural integrity.

  • Watertight sheeting: Fitted with overlapping joints to prevent leaks and water ingress.

  • Safe working area: Reduces the risk of slips and delays caused by wet surfaces.

  • Custom-built: Adapted to match the dimensions of your roof, gables, or ridge line.

  • Long-term reliability: Ideal for extended projects or winter construction schedules.

Whether you’re working on a terrace house or a multi-property development, we’ll build the right cover to match, keeping both your team and the building dry from day one.

Types of Temporary Roofs We Provide

Mono-Pitch Temporary Roofs

Ideal for extensions, single-slope roofs, or lean-to structures. This straightforward design offers effective drainage and reliable protection from rain and wind.

Gable-End Roof Covers

Suitable for pitched or traditional roofs, gable-end systems provide a secure enclosure at both ends, keeping your loft space or upper floors completely shielded.

Keder Roof Systems

Lightweight and built with sliding sheeting on tracks, Keder systems offer full weather protection with the added benefit of easy access and modular flexibility.

Full-Site Temporary Roofing

For larger-scale refurbishments or complex developments, we can design and erect full-span roof coverings supported by a full scaffold wrap to fully enclose the site.

Loft Conversion Covers

Purpose-built covers that allow roof removal without exposing the interior. Perfect for homeowners and developers carrying out loft conversions or attic reconfigurations.

Temporary Roofing for New Builds
