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.

Temporary Roof Installation Process

Installing a temporary roof involves several critical steps:

Scaffold Erection
We build a strong, stable scaffold frame tailored to support the weight and dimensions of the chosen roof system.
Roof Installation

Roofing materials are securely installed, whether shrink wrap sheeting, corrugated panels, or a modular cassette system.
Inspections and Adjustments

We perform rigorous checks to ensure everything is weatherproof, safe, and compliant with regulations.
Dismantling

When the project is complete, we carefully dismantle the temporary roof and scaffolding in a safe, controlled process, leaving your site clean and clear.

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.
