For Residential and
Commercial Projects

Temporary roof scaffolding is an essential solution for the construction industry. It provides protection against weather elements, ensures safety, and allows uninterrupted work on buildings by shielding a property during roofing projects, extensions, or significant refurbishments. Various types of temporary roofs are suited to different project requirements, and Reebo Scaffolding offers a number to residential and commercial clients in Brighton and the surrounding areas we cover. These include mono-pitch roofs, duo-pitch roofs, tin hat roofs, and shrink-wrap roofing systems.

We also specialise in chimney scaffolding and bespoke frameworks for unique projects.

Please contact us in Newhaven to arrange an onsite visit from our friendly and experienced scaffolders.

Mono-Pitch Roofs

Mono-pitch roofs, or lean-to roof scaffolding, feature a single-sloping surface that directs rainwater away from the work area. These systems are suitable for small or medium-sized projects and are ideal for extensions or renovations on buildings with existing mono-pitch roofs.

They are a cost-effective solution for straightforward projects
Their simplicity of design makes them quick and easy to erect
Effective water drainage prevents potential building damage

Duo-Pitch Roofs

Duo-pitch roof scaffolding, or double-slope roof scaffolding, has two sloping surfaces that meet at a central ridge, mimicking a traditional pitched roof. These temporary roofs offer more comprehensive protection for commercial roofing projects and residential loft conversions.

They are suitable for larger projects due to their more substantial structure
They protect personnel against adverse weather from multiple angles
Duo-pitch roofs are capable of withstanding severe weather conditions

Tin Hat Roof

Tin hat roofs, also known as corrugated iron roof scaffolding, involve installing a temporary roof made of corrugated iron sheets. They are commonly used in historical building restorations and large-scale commercial projects and are perfect for long-term projects.

They offer exceptional durability and weather resistance over extended periods
Tin hats prevent water ingress and ensure a dry working environment
Their structures can support additional loads, such as snow accumulation

Shrink-Wrap Roofing Systems

Shrink-wrap temporary roofs use a specialised plastic film that is heated and shrunk to fit over a scaffolding frame. This method creates a tight, weatherproof seal that protects the work area from the elements, suiting large-scale projects that require a fast and flexible installation.

They provide a tight seal, offering protection and containment of dust and debris
The clear plastic allows natural light into the work area, improving visibility
Shrink-wrap roofs are quick and easy to install, reducing downtime and labour costs

The Benefits of Temporary Roofs

As we’ve already mentioned, the main benefit of these scaffolding systems is protection from the elements. This, in turn, prevents delays and keeps projects on schedule. Our installations enable you to work continuously on your project, improving efficiency and productivity whilst keeping you and other personnel safe from falling objects.

Our installations also reduce the likelihood of water damage to your property’s interior, which is especially important during extensive renovations.

From simple residential repairs in Newhaven to complex commercial construction projects in Brighton, Reebo Scaffolding offers a comprehensive range of scaffolding solutions and temporary roofs. All frameworks are fully customisable to suit access, materials, and other project factors.
