Lyon Home / Temporary roofs and sheeting
Temporary roofs and scaffold sheeting
When a roof has to come off in a Plymouth winter, a temporary roof keeps the house dry while the work goes on underneath. We also sheet scaffolds in to keep dust and debris inside and the weather out.
In short: A temporary roof is a scaffold frame covered in sheeting that keeps a building dry while its roof is stripped and replaced. Lyon Scaffolding builds temporary roofs and sheeted scaffolds in Plymouth.

Temporary roofs and sheeting: common questions
What is a temporary roof?
A roof frame built from scaffold over the house, covered in sheeting, so the old roof can be stripped while the house underneath stays dry.
When do I need a temporary roof?
Usually for full re-roofs and big roof repairs that take more than a few days, especially through the autumn and winter.
What is scaffold sheeting for?
Sheeting wraps the scaffold to keep dust and debris in and the weather out, which helps on rendering and on busy streets.
Do I need a licence if the scaffold is on the pavement?
If any part of the scaffold stands on the pavement or road, Plymouth City Council needs a scaffold licence before it goes up. Dean will tell you at the quote stage if your job needs one.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry £10 million public liability insurance. Ask and we will send you the certificate.
