Temporary Roof Scaffolding

What We Do

Temporary Roof Scaffolding In Swansea

We provide our clients with a variety of temporary roof scaffolding options depending on the needs and wants of the project being undertaken. Working closely with engineering designers, we can provide our clients with the best guidance and structures.  Temporary roofing in scaffolding refers to a roof that protects a building structure from the weather during the build stage. When construction is taking place, the building structure will go through several build phases, which will mean that the inside is exposed to the weather. Our temporary roofs will keep your construction dry and free from debris.

Call us today to book our scaffolding services in Swansea or across South Wales.

What Is A Temporary Scaffolding Roof?

It is a roof that is either made from aluminium, steel or plastics and is designed to cover the top of a building, to keep weather, dust and debris from entering during the construction phase. Temporary roofs can also have sheeted walls, and be added around the building, to keep workers dry and protected.

You might also hear it called a “tin hat”.

Weather Protection

Particularly important during the winter months, temporary roofs can be extremely useful when the weather turns bad and can be a great way to keep your construction project on track, ensuring that it finishes on time. The weather is one of the main issues that delay building works, so get in touch if a temporary roof is something that you might need.
