reliable temporary roof system, safeguarding the church
from the elements throughout the renovation process.
Challenges:
The project presented several challenges, including the
church’s age, complex roof structure, and the need to
ensure minimal disruption to church activities and the
local community. The temporary roof system needed to be
strong, durable, and custom-fitted to meet the specific
requirements of the building.

The installation of the temporary roof was completed
within a 7 day timeframe, ensuring that the church was
fully protected while work on the permanent roof
continued smoothly.
SOLUTION PROVIDED:
To meet the client’s needs, Ivy Scaffolding delivered a
comprehensive and tailored temporary roofing solution:
Weather Protection:
The temporary roof was designed to shield the church
from rain, snow, and wind, ensuring the interior remained
dry and safe from the elements.
Structural Integrity:
The roof system was securely fixed and supported by a
specially designed scaffold structure, ensuring stability
and safety throughout the installation and for the duration
of the project.
Custom Fit:
Given the unique shape and design of the church’s roof,
we provided a bespoke solution that fitted perfectly,
offering complete coverage while respecting the building’s
architecture.
Minimal Disruption:
We worked closely with the church and the project team
to ensure that installation took place with minimal
disruption to church activities, such as services and events.
Health and Safety:
Ivy Scaffolding followed strict safety protocols, ensuring
that both our team and the public were safe throughout
the installation and maintenance of the temporary roof
system.
SOLUTION PROVIDED:
Initial Assessment::
Our team conducted a thorough assessment of the church’s existing roof and surrounding
environment to identify potential risks and challenges. This also included a full site survey to
determine the most efficient and safe way to install the temporary roof.
Design and Planning:
Based on the site survey, our engineers designed a tailored temporary roof system, choosing materials
and scaffold structures that would provide the best protection while ensuring a quick and safe
installation process.
Installation:
Using a combination of advanced scaffolding techniques and high-quality tarpaulin or sheeting, we
created a strong and weatherproof barrier over the church. The system was anchored securely to
avoid any movement, even in strong winds.
Ongoing Maintenance and Inspections:
Once installed, the temporary roof was regularly inspected and maintained by Ivy Scaffolding to
ensure its continued effectiveness throughout the roof repair works.
