Reliable Temporary Roofing Systems
When work opens up a roof, the weather doesn’t wait. Our temporary roofing systems give you a fully weatherproof cover over the whole structure, so re-roofing, repairs and conversions can carry on through rain, wind and snow without water getting into the building.
Family-run and based in Cambridge, we design, install and dismantle temporary roofs across Cambridge and East Anglia, all CHAS and SSIP accredited and backed by PS5M public liability cover. With more than 25 years of scaffolding experience behind us, we keep your project dry, safe and on schedule.
When You Need a Temporary Roof
A temporary roof is the right call whenever a building needs to stay dry while the roof is open or being worked on. The most common reasons our customers need one:
Re-roofing ‐ keep the property watertight while the old roof comes off and the new one goes on, often alongside our domestic roofing services.
Storm damage repairs ‐ protect the inside of the building straight after damage, before permanent repairs start.
Loft conversions ‐ work through the seasons without water reaching new joists, insulation and plasterwork.
Listed and period buildings ‐ shelter delicate historic fabric during sensitive repair work.
New builds ‐ keep trades and materials dry so the programme doesn’t slip in bad weather.
How Our Temporary Roofing Systems Work
We start with a free site survey to measure the structure and agree the safest access and cover. Our team then erects a scaffold framework and fits a pitched temporary roof over it, using interlocking sheeting that channels rainwater clear of the building. The cover is fully sealed and secured to stay put in high winds.
Once your roof work is finished, we dismantle and remove everything, leaving the site clean and tidy. Throughout, the system is built to TG20 and SG4 standards and inspected regularly to keep everyone on site safe.
