Temporary Roof Scaffolding in Romford, London & Essex
Five Oaks Access provide temporary roof scaffolding across Romford, London, Essex and the surrounding areas. A temporary roof keeps the weather out while roofing work, loft conversions or major repairs are carried out. It means the project can continue regardless of rain, wind or cold.
We are a CHAS accredited scaffolding company based in Romford with over 30 years of experience on domestic and commercial roofing projects.
What Is a Temporary Roof?
A temporary roof is a scaffold structure built over the top of an existing roof (or where a roof has been removed). It is sheeted with heavy-duty tarpaulin or similar material to create a watertight cover over the building.
This allows roofers, builders and other trades to work in dry conditions, protects the interior of the property from water damage, and keeps the project on schedule even in poor weather.
Common Uses
- Loft conversions where the existing roof is removed
- Full re-roofing projects
- Fire or storm damage repair
- Heritage and listed building roof restoration
- Structural repairs to roof timbers
- Emergency weather protection
Our Approach
We design the temporary roof to span the full area of the exposed roof, with adequate pitch for rainwater to run off. The structure is anchored to the scaffold and sheeted to provide a watertight seal. We can accommodate chimney stacks, party walls and other obstructions in the design.
Temporary roofs are one of our most requested scaffolding services across Romford, Brentwood, Chelmsford and the wider Essex area, particularly for loft conversions and re-roofing projects.
Common Questions
How much does a temporary roof cost?
The cost depends on the size of the roof area, the complexity of the structure and the hire period. We provide free quotes for every project.
Is the temporary roof completely watertight?
Yes. We sheet the structure with heavy-duty material and secure it to prevent water ingress. It will protect the property in normal weather conditions.
How long can the temporary roof stay up?
As long as you need it. We agree a hire period upfront and can extend it if the project runs longer than expected.
Do you provide emergency temporary roofs?
Yes. If your property has suffered storm or fire damage, we can respond quickly to get a temporary roof in place and protect the building from further damage.
