Do I Need a Scaffold ‘Tin Roof’ for My Loft Conversion?

Why are other companies insisting on scaffold “tin roofs”?

Some builders opt for scaffold “tin roofs” because it gives them flexibility: they can strip off your existing roof immediately and continue working even if the weather turns. But this convenience often comes at your expense, in both costs and disruption.

Why doesn’t Crown Development Services use roofs?

Our smart approach builds your new loft structure over the existing roof. We only remove the old roof once the new one is securely in place. This minimises exposure to the elements, reduces noise and dust, and avoids the need (and cost!) of a tin roof hire. It’s a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient method that puts you first.

What are the benefits of not having a tin roof?

• Up to £5,000–£10,000+ saved on scaffold tin roof hire
• Maintained protection and comfort throughout your build
• No rattling tin section in windy weather keeping you up at night
• A tidy, well‑organised build from start to finish
  

Are tin roofs safer in bad weather?

Only if it’s truly necessary. Tin roofs are useful in extreme cases, like full roof replacements or major structural remodels. But for most loft conversion projects, they’re unnecessary and add cost. We’ll always keep you informed; if a tin roof is genuinely needed, we’ll say so.

Do your customers really not use tin roofs?

Yes. In fact, every 5‑star review we’ve received comes from clients who trusted our method, with no tin roofs involved. That’s proof that our approach not only works, it excels.

Is your method legally and structurally sound?

Absolutely. Our builds are fully planned, well‑organised, and backed by £10 million in insurance. We treat your home like it’s our own, because, in many cases, it is the same method we have previously used on our own.
