From time to time our clients enquire about temporary rooflight covers, so please read our thoughts on the subject.

Here’s the truth:

👉 They don’t save time.
👉 They don’t save money.
👉 And they definitely don’t keep people safer.

Think of the process. Material arrives on site, untrained operative attempts to install, once installed you then have to remove all the fixings and then replace fixings into the now redundant holes. You now have a weak point in your roof, further risk of leaks. Untrained workers treading and stepping all over your roof, (we see so much roof damage caused by foot traffic), then you have to remove the product (with exposed rooflights) from the roof, take away from site, and store. Considering that permanent cost is fairly similar, and access will be required for years to come, fixed is the sensible, and safest option.

At fallarrest.com we’ve seen too many projects put workers at risk using quick fixes, and here is why a permanent rooflight protection system is the only solution that protects your team and your budget long-term.

✅ Installed once means protection for years.
✅ No risky removals or reused fixings.
✅ Designed and fitted by trained fall protection specialists.

Our clients are amazed at how cost-effective and maintenance-free these systems are, and we have installed thousands of metres of these covers in the past year alone, many for repeat customers across the PV and construction sectors.

You have to remember that working at height isn’t a shortcut situation, it’s about choosing the correct solution that saves lives, not corners, or seeking to maximise profits.
