Project type: Temporary roof scaffolding.
Location: Shopwhyke Road, Chichester, PO20.
Client requirements: This client requested a quotation from our company to put up a temporary roof scaffolding to the rear section of this bungalow to complete their loft conversion works. As it was only the rear of the property and not the whole of the building that needed covering, we charged £3000 with a 12 week hire period.
Obstacles and challenges we faced: We did not have any issues with this scaffolding as the access was clear and there was plenty of room at the back of the bungalow to erect the temporary tin roof.
What we did: We erected an 8-metre high by 10-metres long and 6-metres by 2-metres return by 4-metres wide tin hat structure to the back half of this bungalow, and this was to provide our client with protection from adverse weather whilst they continued with their loft conversion works. The scaffolding had 3 lifts erected in total with the bottom lift boarded out to create a working platform that also had safety handrail protection and toe boards installed.
As we were only covering half of the bungalow, we were required to rest the scaffold lattice beams on the ridge of the roof to enable us to create the roof section of the tin hat. We put double scaffold boards on to the ridge in order to protect the tiles, we then placed the beams on top of the boards. To create more stability, we tied the scaffolding beams into the scaffold framework which was built heavy duty. We then installed corrugated iron sheets as the roof covering and then fixed monarflex sheeting around the perimeter. Ladder access with a ladder gate was also installed to the first lift of this scaffolding structure.
Hire period: We rented this temporary roof scaffold to our client for a period of 12 weeks. They contacted us after the 12 week hire period had expired so our team could dismantle the structure.
If you would like a scaffolding erected that is similar to the above then our process is very simple, all you need to do is contact us via telephone, email or the fastest way is to fill out our online quote form where you will provide the information, we need to be able to provide a quote. If we do not require any additional information, we will then supply you with a quotation which will include an agreed hire period.
Once you accept our quotation, we will book you in for the date requested. On the day of erection our scaffolders will arrive to put up the structure safely also leaving ladder access once completed. You are then ready to complete your works or project. Once the scaffold is no longer required you will need to contact us, and we will provide you with a dismantle date (which we will keep to) we will then arrive on the agreed date and remove all our equipment and may ask you to leave a review if you are happy to do so.
