Temporary Roofs in Hull and East Yorkshire

When a roof is stripped for a full re-roofing project, the interior of the property is exposed to the weather. In Yorkshire — where a dry week in summer isn't guaranteed — that's a serious risk. A temporary roof structure installed over the scaffold provides complete weather protection throughout the works, allowing the roofing contractor to work safely regardless of conditions.

When is a temporary roof needed?

• Complete re-roofing where all tiles and battens are stripped

• Rafter replacement or structural roof repairs

• Major flat-to-pitched roof conversions

• Heritage or listed building reroofs where full strip is required

• Any project where the roof will be fully open to weather for more than a day

How a temporary roof works

The scaffold is erected around the building in the normal way. A series of ridge beams, purlins and sheeting rails are then fitted above the roof line, and industrial-grade polythene or aluminium sheeting is fixed over them to create a weatherproof covering. The contractor works inside the temporary roof as if under cover.

Benefits of a temporary roof

• Keeps the interior dry throughout the works

• Allows roofing to continue in wet weather — no costly weather delays

• Protects exposed timbers, insulation and any vulnerable interior contents

• Often required by insurers for weather-related insurance claims
