Fragile Roof Works

We understand that fragile roofs require repairs, maintenance, and safety equipment installation. Work on fragile roofs of all types require competent persons to undertake the work. Fragile roofs can vary from fibre cement sheets, which can be an Asbestos Containing Material (ACM’s), to weathered plastic rooflights and corroded metal sheets, with some roofing materials being difficult to identify as fragile. When carrying out works to any fragile roofing structures Working at Height Risk Assessments and Project Specific Risk Assessments and Method Statements need to be in place, with the correct equipment used to enable safe working methods and reduce, otherwise significant risks. 

MNA Group have over 90 years’ combined experience in working on fragile roof structures and can complete a range of works from rooflight replacements, roof maintenance works, over-roofing, strip out and re-cover and working at height equipment installations. We are qualified and skilled in the installation and frequently use the Easi-Dec access systems to eliminate fall risks, this equipment provides personnel with a safe working platform and safe movement without the risk of falls through fragile materials. The systems are manufactured using lightweight materials and provide a slip resistance surface for users in all weather conditions.
