Temporary Roofs & Tin Hats give you full protection from above while work carries on below, and that’s exactly what we provide at Solent Scaffolding. You’ll see us working across Southampton, Bournemouth, London and surrounding areas, helping you keep projects moving whatever the weather brings.
When you use temporary roofs and tin hats, you’re covering a scaffold structure with a solid or sheeted roof system that keeps the space below dry. We build them at Solent Scaffolding when your project needs protection from rain or exposure during open roof work. You still get access walkways built into the scaffold, so you can move around the structure safely while everything stays covered above. It creates a working space that feels more controlled and easier to manage day to day.
We take time to plan the full structure because everything needs to work together from the ground up. You’ll notice we keep things clear so the setup supports your job properly.
Having a covered working area changes how your project runs, especially when the weather turns. It gives you more control and keeps things moving without constant stops.

Yes, when they’re designed and installed correctly, they’re built to handle typical UK weather conditions. We secure the structure properly and make sure everything is stable before use. We also carry out checks during the project to keep it performing as expected.
Most buildings can be covered, but it depends on size, shape, and access. We assess your project before recommending the right setup. If it’s suitable, we’ll design it to fit your building properly.
The time varies depending on the size and complexity of the structure. Smaller roofs can be completed fairly quickly, while larger spans take more time to build safely. We plan ahead so installation doesn’t hold up your schedule.
Yes, we plan access points as part of the scaffold design. You’ll still be able to move in and out while work continues above. The aim is to keep everything usable while still protected.
