As any scaffolding company will tell you; a temporary roof is a significant investment. Working out if one is right for you depends on a number of factors, as opposed to a traditional roof scaffolding service.
Temporary Roof Cost
The first consideration should and will be the cost, a temporary roof scaffolding cost will incur significant, ongoing hire charges along with a cost for erecting scaffolding above and beyond what would normally be required. Pricing a temporary roof involves scaffolding to the gutter line and then erecting a significant structure above this, sheeting everything and securing the structure with ballast tanks to keep it in place. With the sheeting in place extra consideration is needed for winds, so this also needs to be factored in as, in exposed, high areas repair costs aren’t out of the question.
Temporary Roof Drawbacks
The benefits of a temporary roofing structure are numerous, for at home scaffolding however these do come with drawbacks; not just the cost. In windy conditions they are not quiet structures, the inevitable flapping of the sheeting can cause considerable noise and are an unavoidable reality. Whilst they offer excellent protection against the weather, no structure can be 100% impermeable to the weather, so care must be taken and a plan in place to carry out the work as fast as possible.
