Temporary Roofs & Tin Hats
Temporary Roofs & Tin Hats in Dublin
At BT Scaffolding, based in Dublin, we understand how important it is to protect your property and your project from the weather. Temporary roofs and tin hats are scaffolding solutions designed to do exactly that. They give you a strong, secure covering that shields the building below from rain, wind, and debris while allowing work to continue underneath. Without them, projects can face long delays, higher costs, and avoidable risks.
We provide temporary roofs and tin hats for all kinds of projects, from domestic refurbishments to large commercial jobs. Whether you’re re-roofing a home, repairing storm damage, or carrying out long-term renovations, these systems let you keep working whatever the weather. They’re built using lightweight but durable scaffolding materials and can be adapted to fit almost any building size or shape.
For us, it’s not just about putting up a cover. It’s about designing a system that’s safe, strong, and suited to your site. Every project starts with a survey where we look at the property, the type of work being done, and the risks involved. From there, we create a solution that keeps your site protected while meeting all safety standards. Being based in Dublin means we can respond quickly and provide reliable support from start to finish.

When Do You Need Temporary Roofs & Tin Hats?
Temporary roofs and tin hats come into play in many situations, and in some cases, they’re essential to keep work on track. If you’re not sure whether you need one, here are some of the main times they’re used.
When you’re replacing or repairing a roof, a temporary covering protects the interior of the building from rain and wind while work is ongoing.
If a roof has been damaged by storms, a tin hat can provide immediate cover until permanent repairs are made.
Projects that take weeks or months need weather protection to prevent delays and keep work areas safe.
Larger sites often require extensive coverings to protect both the structure and the people working underneath.
When working on older properties, a temporary roof helps protect delicate interiors and structures from further damage.
By using a temporary roof or tin hat in these situations, you save time, reduce risks, and keep your project moving smoothly.
Types of Temporary Roofs & Tin Hats
Not all temporary coverings are the same, and different projects call for different systems. At BT Scaffolding, we provide a wide range of options so we can match the right solution to your needs.
- Traditional tin hats – built with corrugated sheets, they’re strong and durable, providing excellent protection against rain and wind.
- Lightweight temporary roofs – made with aluminium beams and sheeting, these are easier to install and ideal for smaller projects.
- Rolling roofs – designed to slide open or move as work progresses, giving flexibility while still providing cover.
- Encapsulation systems – full wrapping of a site with sheeting for maximum protection from weather, dust, and debris.
- Custom-built systems – created specifically for unusual or complex sites, ensuring complete coverage and safety.
Each type has its advantages, and we’ll advise you on the best option for your project. By choosing the right system, you get the cover you need without adding unnecessary costs or delays.
