A roof safety system is a combination of access and protection measures used to help people work safely on or around roofs, such as guardrails, walkways, fixed ladders, safety lines and anchor points.

The suitable system depends on the building, roof layout, access needs and work being undertaken. A professional assessment should be completed before specifying equipment.

Yes. Roof safety systems can include a combination of guardrails, walkways, fixed ladders, fall protection and other access measures where appropriate.

Yes. Bespoke Roof Safety designs solutions around the building, roof layout, access requirements and project-specific risks.

Useful considerations include the roof layout, access points, building use, maintenance needs, existing equipment, site constraints and the people who will use the system.

Guardrails may be considered where passive edge protection is needed to help protect people working near roof edges or exposed access areas.

Roof walkways provide defined access routes across roof areas, helping people move more safely between access points, plant and maintenance zones.

Guardrails can be considered for existing roofs, subject to the roof condition, system type, access requirement and project constraints.

A planned walkway route can help reduce unnecessary movement across roof surfaces by guiding people along a defined access path.

Existing roof access and safety systems can be inspected and maintained by Bespoke Roof Safety.

A fixed access ladder may be suitable where a permanent controlled route is needed to roofs, plant areas or elevated maintenance zones.

Access requirements can be reviewed around the building, access point, height and known constraints before a suitable recommendation is made.

Useful information includes the access point, height, roof layout, surrounding hazards, frequency of access and who will use the ladder.

Existing roof access and safety systems can be inspected and maintained. The appropriate inspection approach depends on the system and site requirements.

Yes. Existing access and safety systems can be reviewed as part of inspection and maintenance support.

In general terms, restraint aims to prevent a person reaching a fall hazard, while arrest is intended to reduce the consequences if a fall occurs. The correct approach depends on a competent assessment of the task, roof and system.

Lifelines or anchors may be considered where access requirements and roof risks mean personal fall protection is needed. Site-specific advice should follow a professional assessment.

Personal fall protection systems should only be used by people with suitable instruction, training and supervision for the equipment and task.

Inspection requirements depend on the equipment, manufacturer information, use and site conditions. Avoid relying on generic intervals without checking the specific system.

Yes. Existing roof safety, access and fall protection systems can be inspected and maintained by Bespoke Roof Safety.

Inspection helps confirm that roof safety and access systems remain in suitable condition and identifies maintenance needs before people rely on the equipment.

Existing roof safety and access systems can be inspected and maintained. The team can advise what information is needed when you make an enquiry.

The next step depends on the system and findings. The team can advise on maintenance needs, remedial works or further review where required.

Yes. Planned maintenance and retesting support can be arranged to help keep systems safe and ready for use.

Inspection records, system information, maintenance notes and handover documents should be retained where available. Specific documentation needs depend on the system and site.

The team will review the information provided and help identify the most suitable next step, such as discussing scope, arranging a survey where required or preparing a quotation.

A site survey may be required depending on the roof, access requirement and information available at enquiry stage.

Yes. The website is positioned for main contractors, roofing contractors and other professional project teams.

Coordination requirements can be discussed during project review so the proposed roof safety works fit the wider programme where required.
