Temporary Roofs
Scaffold Solutions offer a first class temporary roof service. We are specialist in this sector offering a temporary shelter where a protected working space is needed.
We can will provide cover for all areas Domestic, Commercial, Industrial and all types of restoration works. Wherever you feel you need Temporary weather protection please let us provide our services. As well as the more traditional CI Tin Temporary roofs, we can also supply Haki Roof Systems and Layer Roof Systems.
For all weather protection, we can supply a range of temporary roof covers. Designed to suit the application, a temporary roof is a temporary shelter (roof) that provides shelter from varying elements of our weather, these structures are not permanent.
Such structures allow our clients to continue with, mainly re-roofing, working even if the conditions have turned storm-force outside. For the clients, this is a must-have during the cold and wet winter months so that work can progress as per normal; no waiting for dry weather, no covering holes with plastic sheets. Our temporary roofs have been very successful and are an aspect of our company that we are proud of.
The system roof is also made from aluminium which controls the normal handling and weight aspect of the roofing system, bringing it into compliance with contemporary Health and Safety laws and recommendations. Through the use of the Kedlar sheeting, it is no longer necessary to walk on top of the sheeted area to attach the sheets; the sheets are literally pulled from one side of the scaffold to the other, through the use of ramers and ropes, over all parts of the roofing system.
From the feedback we have been given, our new-style temporary roofs are extremely successful; call us for a quote or for more information
Scaffold Solutions can provide a temporary roof for:
Refurbishments, where a roofing cover is compromised or has been removed
Building works which require an existing roof, or parts of a roof to be compromised, common in domestic work
Emergency situations, where a building or a place needs to be protected by a roof
Emergency situations can be handled in consultation with insurers, due to our size we have the capacity and resource to build a temporary roof at short notice
There is no limit to the size of a temporary roof, and a temporary roof can be in place for months if not years.
The UBIX Temporary Roof:
Proven across the UK over a period of 12 years UBIX has proven itself again and again as being the first choice temporary roof system for many experienced scaffold companies. Using a small number of standard components weather protection can be achieved on site quickly, safely and economically. The dangers associated with working at height are minimised with UBIX as the roof sheeting, using PVC polyester coated fabric, is performed safely from the eaves scaffold platform or ground level. UBIX can be opened and closed easily and rapidly to enable craneage of materials in and out of site.

Applications:
Standard Application In the standard application straight beams or straight beams plus a special ridge unit are combined to form mono or duo pitch roofs. Individual beam lines are braced together and the roof structure is secured to the top of a tubular support scaffold to form the protective canopy underneath. Freestanding Application Utilising 2 standard ridge beams at the eaves, it is possible to construct temporary buildings using aluminium beams to form the sidewalls and roof. Rolling Application Either mono or duo pitch roofs utilising special high strength roller bearing wheel units designed to roll on standard scaffold tube.
