Roof walkways
Roof Walkway Systems for Safer Access Routes
Defined access routes that help people move more safely across roof areas while supporting maintenance access and helping protect roof surfaces.
Service overview
Clear, stable routes across roof areas
Roof walkways are access routes installed across roofs to help workers move between entry points, plant areas, equipment and maintenance zones. They form part of a wider roof access system and can be used alongside ladders, stepovers, guardrails and fall protection systems.
They are required where people need regular or planned access across roof areas that may be uneven, fragile, obstructed or difficult to navigate safely. A defined route helps guide movement and can reduce unnecessary travel across roof surfaces.
Roof walkways are commonly specified by roofing contractors, main contractors, architects, facilities managers, building owners and public sector estates teams.
