Temporary Roofing & Containment

When the roof comes off or the facade comes back, the weather does not wait. We design temporary roofs, shrink-wrap encapsulation and containment so a re-roof keeps moving through rain and an occupied building stays clean and contained.

Temporary Roofing & Containment job
Scope

What this job includes.

  • Temporary roof systems over re-roofs and structural work
  • Shrink-wrap encapsulation for weather and dust containment
  • Containment screens over occupied or public areas
  • Debris netting and brick guards on perimeter scaffold
  • Engineered for wind load, not just stapled on
Our system: Keder-style temporary roofs and heat-shrink containment engineered for the span and the wind region, tied into a scaffold designed to carry the extra load.
How we quote it

The same 7 lines, every time.

Whatever the surface, your quote splits the work the same honest way, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

The scaffold scope sheet
  1. 1 Design + duty rating. Engineered to the load your trades carry, light, medium or heavy, not guessed.
  2. 2 Engineer design certificate. Required over four metres or for any non-standard load. Signed, not assumed.
  3. 3 SWMS, before boots. A job-specific safe-work method statement, on site before anyone climbs.
  4. 4 Erect + dismantle, fixed. Both priced on the page, with a firm install date and a dismantle date.
  5. 5 Weekly hire rate. A clear per-week rate and the included weeks, so there is no surprise hire creep.
  6. 6 Green Scaftag handover. A dated tag on every access point, so anyone on site knows it is certified.
  7. 7 Public protection. Gantry, hoarding, debris netting where the job meets the footpath or the street.
If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.

Questions, answered

Temporary Roofing & Containment, common questions.

Will a temporary roof really keep a re-roof dry?
Yes, when it is engineered. We design the temporary roof for the span and the wind region and tie it into a scaffold rated to carry it, so your trades keep working and the building stays dry through the strip.
Can you contain dust over an occupied building?
That is what containment screens and shrink-wrap are for. We encapsulate the work zone so dust and debris stay in, which matters when people are living or working below.
Does the extra load affect the scaffold design?
It does, which is exactly why it is engineered. A temporary roof adds wind and weather load, so the supporting scaffold is designed and certified to carry it, never improvised on the day.
