What is a Temporary Roof Scaffolding System?

A temporary roof acts as a protective cover that goes over buildings or work areas during construction, renovation, or repair projects. It shields the site from rain, wind, snow, and dust. As a result, your team can continue working without weather delays while maintaining a safer environment. If your roof is exposed during works or you are planning a loft conversion, a temporary roof ensures reliable shelter and steady progress.

Applications of Temporary Roofs

At Jaku Scaffolding, we offer temporary roofing solutions for a wide range of situations, such as:

  • Refurbishment and renovation projects
  • Emergency protection after fire or storm damage
  • Open roof structures created during loft conversions
  • Urgent needs where roofs are compromised
  • Preservation of heritage and listed buildings

Because every project is different, we carefully assess your site before installation. This allows us to design and erect a temporary roof that matches the exact size, shape, and constraints of your building. By tailoring the solution, we make sure your project stays safe, efficient, and on schedule.

Our Temporary Roof Systems

We offer a range of systems to suit varying requirements, each chosen for strength, durability, and adaptability:

Shrink Wrap Roofing

Shrink wrap creates a tight, weatherproof seal over irregular or complex structures. This versatile plastic film is heat-shrunk into place, forming a durable, seamless barrier against the elements. It’s ideal for projects requiring a neat appearance, fast installation, and maximum flexibility.

Monarflex Sheeting

Highly robust and tear-resistant, Monarflex sheeting is perfect for long-term protection. It withstands harsh weather and offers excellent UV stability. Monarflex sheeting is flame-retardant, enhancing site safety while keeping your project secure from the elements.

Corrugated Roofing Systems

Corrugated sheets — often made from steel or durable plastics — deliver solid, heavy-duty protection, making them suitable for larger commercial or industrial sites. These roofs are exceptionally strong, offering reliable performance even in challenging weather conditions.

Cassette and Haki Systems

For more complex structures, we provide cassette roofs and Haki systems. These engineered solutions offer high load-bearing capacity and quick assembly, ensuring minimal disruption to your project’s timeline.

Commitment to Safety and Compliance

Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Our temporary roof scaffolds comply with all relevant UK legislation and best-practice standards, including:

NASC TG20:21 – Technical guidance for tube and fitting scaffold
SG4:22 – Preventing falls in scaffolding operations
Work at Height Regulations 2005
HSE health and safety guidance

We also provide full documentation, risk assessments, and handover certificates for every job, backed by £10 million public liability insurance for complete peace of mind.

Temporary Roof Installation Process

At Jaku Scaffolding, we take a structured and professional approach to every temporary roof project:

1. Site Survey and Planning
We begin with a full assessment of your property, evaluating access, layout, and existing structures. This ensures we select the safest and most efficient design.

2. Engineering Design
Our scaffolds are built in compliance with NASC TG20:21 and SG4:22 standards. Where needed, we work with structural engineers to prepare detailed drawings for approval.

3. Erection and Inspection
Our qualified team — including Part 1, Part 2, and Advanced Scaffolders — assembles the structure safely and efficiently. Each scaffold is inspected before handover and regularly during the hire period.

4. Ongoing Maintenance
We carry out scheduled inspections to ensure stability, weather resistance, and full compliance throughout the project duration.

5. Dismantling and Removal
Once works are complete, our team carefully dismantles the structure, clearing all materials from site promptly.

Site Visits and Temporary Roof Design Drawings

At Jaku Scaffolding, we don’t just install the structure — we take care of the full process from start to finish. To begin with, our team will carry out a detailed site visit. This allows us to assess access points, roof dimensions, and any specific challenges at your property.

After the inspection, we provide all the design drawings needed for your temporary roof scaffolding system. These drawings ensure the installation meets safety regulations, fits the unique shape of your building, and supports the progress of your project without unnecessary delays.

By handling both the survey and the design, we give you a seamless service. You won’t need to coordinate with multiple contractors, because we deliver everything under one roof — safe, efficient, and tailored to your requirements.
