Roof Access

Sarnafil SarnaTred Access Walkway Resistance to Roof Traffic

Consideration should be given to the suitability for roof traffic both during and after construction.  If necessary areas that will sustain heavy foot traffic after installation but prior to completion should be adequately protected.  Suitable provision should be made for maintenance access to plant and any other areas requiring regular access.

Sarnafil Ltd offers guidance in the treatment of such areas including the provision of the SarnaTred walkway pad that is simply hot air welded to the finished roof.

Bluewater Shopping Centre - Under Construction Temporary Protection of Roof System

Full temporary protection of the roofing is essential if following trades are to use the finished roof as a working platform or access walkway.  The responsibility for ensuring this must be agreed between relevant parties during the course of the building operations.  In general, no building work should be carried out from a completed roof.  Paint, cementitious materials, plaster and solvents should not be allowed to come into contact with the completed roof surfacing.
