Ground Up Roof Protection
A ground-supported roof edge protection system used where a conventional roof or frame-mounted system may not be suitable — providing perimeter protection at roof level while maintaining access.
What is Ground Up Roof Protection?
Ground up roof protection is a ground-supported edge protection system used where a conventional roof-mounted or frame-mounted system may not be suitable for the project. The system is supported from below and provides perimeter protection at roof level while maintaining access around roof, fascia, and gutter areas. It is a practical solution for sites where the building configuration, roof type, or access requirements make a standard roof-mounted system difficult to install or use.
- Ground-supported system — does not rely on roof or frame mounting
- Provides perimeter protection at roof level
- Maintains access around roof, fascia, and gutter areas
- Suitable where conventional roof-mounted systems are not practical
- Can be used on a range of building types and configurations
- Installed and removed to suit your construction program
Our Approach
Site Assessment
We assess the site to determine whether a ground-supported system is the right solution and plan the most practical installation layout.
Ground Support Setup
The system is set up from ground level, with support structures positioned to provide stable perimeter protection at roof height.
Roof Level Protection
Once installed, the system provides a physical barrier at roof level, allowing trades to work at the roof perimeter with fall protection in place.
Access Maintenance
The system is designed to maintain access around roof, fascia, and gutter areas so trades can complete their work without the system obstructing the work area.
Adjustments as Required
If access requirements change during the project, we can adjust the system to accommodate different trade needs.
Removal on Completion
Once the relevant trades have completed their work, we return to remove the system and clear the site.
Frequently Asked Questions
When would a ground up system be used instead of a roof-mounted system?
A ground-supported system may be more suitable where the roof type, building configuration, or access requirements make a conventional roof or frame-mounted system difficult to install or use effectively. Contact us to discuss your specific project.
Does the system obstruct access around the building?
The system is designed to maintain access around roof, fascia, and gutter areas. We plan the installation layout to minimise obstruction to trades working in these areas.
What types of buildings is this system used on?
Ground up roof protection can be used on a range of residential and commercial building types. Contact us with your project details and we can advise whether this system is suitable.
