Roof Edge Protection Installation

Ensure the safety of everyone working on your roof with a professionally installed roof edge protection installation from JoCo Maintenance.

For industrial and commercial buildings across the Midlands, providing a safe working environment at height is not just good practice, it’s a legal requirement.

We specialise in the design and installation of robust, compliant safety railings and fall protection systems that meet all UK health and safety standards. Our solutions provide a permanent, collective safeguard for maintenance staff, contractors, and anyone who needs to access your roof, ensuring you are fully compliant and protected from liability. With our 45+ years of industry experience, we deliver safety you can depend on.

Why Permanent Roof Edge Protection is Essential

Temporary safety measures can be unreliable and inefficient. A permanent, professionally installed system is the gold standard for rooftop safety, providing critical advantages for building owners and managers.

Comply with Work at Height Regulations

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 legally require employers and those in control of a workplace to do all that is reasonably practicable to prevent anyone falling. A permanent roof edge protection system is a primary method of achieving compliance, acting as a “collective” measure that protects everyone without requiring specialised training or equipment like harnesses.

Protect Your People and Your Business

The safety of your staff and contractors is paramount. A fall from height can have devastating consequences. By installing guardrails, you create a physical barrier that prevents accidents before they happen. This not only protects individuals but also safeguards your business from the significant legal and financial repercussions of a workplace accident.

Enable Safe and Efficient Maintenance

With a permanent safety system in place, your own maintenance teams or third-party contractors can access the roof safely and efficiently to carry out essential work, such as:

  • Gutter cleaning and repairs.
  • CCTV camera maintenance.
  • Air conditioning unit servicing.
  • Roof and cladding inspections.

Our Roof Safety Installation Process

At JoCo Maintenance, safety is integrated into everything we do. Our process ensures your edge protection system is fit for purpose, expertly installed, and fully compliant.

  • Comprehensive Site Survey: We start with a thorough on-site inspection of your roof to assess its structure, layout, and specific access requirements. This is a key part of our Pre-Lease Assessments and Solar Panel Suitability Assessments.
  • System Design & Specification: We design a system tailored to your building. We select the appropriate materials and configuration—whether freestanding or fixed—to provide maximum safety without compromising your roof’s integrity.
  • Professional Installation: Our experienced team installs the system to the manufacturer’s exact specifications and current industry standards. We ensure all components are securely fitted for ultimate reliability.
  • Handover & Certification: Upon completion, we provide you with all the necessary documentation, confirming that your new roof edge protection installation is compliant and ready for use.

A permanent roof edge protection installation is a fundamental requirement for safe and compliant commercial property management. It protects people, ensures you meet your legal obligations under the Work at Height Regulations, and enables efficient ongoing maintenance of your building.
