What Is a Temporary Roof System?
A temporary roof is a protective structure that's installed over buildings or construction sites to protect them from rain, wind and snow.
Temporary roofs are commonly used during renovations, refurbishments, or roof replacements since these systems help maintain a dry and secure working environment.
Temporary roofs are typically made from scaffolding frameworks that are combined with shrink wrap or sheeting materials to ensure the roof is flexible and stable.
Our temporary roofs can be either fixed or mobile, and they are essential for minimising weather-related delays and damage. We ensure our temporary roofs comply with all health and safety regulations before they are installed.
Our Temporary Roof Hire Services
At Scaffold Hire Newcastle, we provide temporary roof hire services for various roof types, such as flat or pitched. Our temporary roofs can protect your property from weather damage, reduce project delays, and create safer working conditions. Our hire services allow clients to access high-quality protection without any long-term investment.
Pitched Temporary Roof Hire
Our pitched roof hire service involves installing a sloped, weatherproof covering over pitched roofs during construction or repair projects.
This system mimics the roof’s angle and provides excellent water runoff and weather protection. This type of roof hire is ideal for heritage buildings, renovations, or emergency repairs.
Flat Temporary Roof Hire
Our flat roof hire service puts a level, weather-resistant covering over flat-roofed buildings during maintenance, refurbishment, or construction services to shield them from rain and debris.
Our temporary flat roofs are easy to install and adapt to a range of buildings. Our temporary roof systems can protect your property, help workers work safely, and maintain your project's timeline.
Shrink Wrap Roof Coverings
Our shrink wrap roof coverings are durable plastic sheeting that's heat-sealed over scaffolding to create a tight, weatherproof barrier.
This sheeting is ideal for construction, refurbishments, or emergency repairs since it resists wind, rain and debris. Its transparency also allows natural light in, which can improve your working conditions.
Scaffold Roof Structures
Our scaffold roof structures are temporary frameworks that are made from scaffolding components to support protective coverings over construction or renovation sites.
Our scaffold roof structures are versatile, customisable, and reusable, making them a cost-effective choice for a wide range of building projects.
Weatherproofing for Construction Sites
Our construction site weatherproofing involves installing protective covers to shield work areas from rain, wind, and debris. This ensures your project can still continue, which reduces delays and protects your materials, equipment and workers.
Our weatherproofing can improve your site's safety, prevent water damage, and help keep your project on track.
Emergency Roof Cover Solutions
Our emergency roof cover solutions involve applying temporary protection to buildings that have been damaged by storms, fires, or structural failures.
Our quick-deploy systems can prevent weather-related damage and protect your interiors, equipment, and occupants from rain, wind and debris.
Benefits of Using Temporary Roofs
Our temporary roofs are ideal for protecting your property against unpredictable weather during construction or renovation projects. Our roofs shield your building, materials, and workers from rain, wind and debris, which helps reduce the risk of damage and delays. We provide both flat and pitched temporary roofs that are reusable and easy to install.
Reduces the risk of water damage
Our temporary roofs reduce the risk of water damage by creating a secure, weatherproof barrier over construction or renovation sites.
This helps you avoid expensive repairs, delays, and potential health hazards like mould and debris inhalation.
Protects your site from bad weather
Temporary roofs can protect your site from bad weather since they act as a durable, weatherproof covering. This protection ensures that your work can continue safely and without interruption.
Temporary roofs also protect your equipment, materials, and the building from environmental damage.
Safe, covered area for workers and equipment
Temporary roofs provide a safe, covered area for workers and equipment by shielding the site from harsh weather and falling debris.
This controlled environment reduces the risk of slips, falls, and accidents caused by wet or unstable surfaces.
