Pricing
Temporary roofing pricing depends on the span, pitch and complexity of the structure required, the duration of protection needed and site access conditions. It is always quoted in conjunction with the underlying scaffold. Call 01702 820468 to discuss your project.
How It Works
Describe the project
Tell us the building type, roof area to be covered, duration and the roofing programme. We assess whether a temporary roof is required.
Design and quotation
We design the temporary roof structure in conjunction with the underlying scaffold and provide a combined quotation.
Installation
The scaffold and temporary roof are erected together. Your roofer can begin work in a weather-protected environment.
Works proceed
Roofing works continue without weather delay. Inspections ensure the structure remains safe throughout.
Strike
Both the temporary roof and scaffold are struck and removed once works are complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
A temporary roof is a scaffold-supported weatherproof structure erected over a property where the existing roof has been removed or is substantially open to the elements. It allows roofing works to continue regardless of weather and protects the building and its contents.
Temporary roofs can remain in place for the full duration of a roofing project — weeks or months if needed. Regular inspections ensure the structure remains safe and wind-resistant throughout.
Not always. For straightforward strip-and-re-tile jobs on smaller properties, works can often be completed quickly without temporary weatherproofing. For larger projects, complex roofs or where weather risk is significant, a temporary roof is advisable.
Most standard South Essex domestic and commercial jobs are scheduled within 2–5 working days once a quote is approved. Emergency scaffolding for urgent structural or storm-damage situations is prioritised — call 01702 820468 directly for urgent access requirements.
