Roof Walkway Systems

Roof walkway systems are the top suggestion for anyone looking to improve rooftop safety at their site. From a slip resistant walkway offering enhanced slip resistance, to galvanised steel options designed for British weather and heavy foot traffic, all of our roof walkways are easy to install and protect workers first and foremost.

These safety solutions provide safe access for general cleaning and maintenance purposes and usually contain a guardrail to offer further protection. They also prevent the likelihood of trips and falls around service equipment and parapet edges.

If your roof top requires regular access or plant inspection is necessary at your site, then our roof walkways might be for you. Contact our team today and we’ll discuss your needs.

What Are Roof Access Walkways?

Roof access walkways are the best way to provide safe access and designated safe routes on roofs. They’re great for sites with regular inspection and maintenance regimes. Your roof surface might not get a lot of foot traffic, but eventually cleaning and maintenance tasks will be required that calls for workers to access your roof. When this happens, they need a safe route to be able to carry out their tasks.

Enter our roof walkway system. As height safety experts, we design, install, maintain and compliance test roof access walkways. All of our walkways come complete with:

  • slip resistance
  • strong materials
  • handrail and toe boards for extra support
  • lightweight aluminium options for weaker roofs

If workers need to, even on occasion, access your roof, then a roof access walkway is one of the only height safety systems capable of providing collective protection without excessive training for workers. Contact us today for support in designing and installing yours.

What Height Safety Regulations Are Relevant To Roof Walkways?

There are a number of unique UK guidelines and regulations that relate to roof access walkways, the most important of which is probably the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015). CDM 2015 states that if regular roof access is required, then you are legally obligated to provide a safe and level roof access walkway system to protect those walking on your roof. We offer quick installation and easy access solutions to ensure your site stays compliant.

Besides that, all roof access walkways must meet relevant regulations like BS EN 516:2006, which states clearly the load bearing requirements of such a roof walkway system. BS EN 1991-1:2002 also makes clear requirements for roof walkways in relation to its design and installation. Its modular design must be fully compliant with all relevant regulations and be easily installed.

BS EN 62305:2006 also makes clear that roof walkways ought to be tested yearly. This is to ensure compliance with relevant height safety regulations and to ensure workers can work safely without fear of falling, slipping, or tripping. We offer a helpful reminder service that can tell you when your next compliance test is due so you can prove your due diligence as the site owner and safety manager.
