Roof walkways, step-overs and platforms inspected for grip, fixings, guarding and safe routes to plant.

Roof walkways protect both people and the roof, keeping foot traffic off fragile sheets and membranes on the way to plant, gutters and solar arrays.

We inspect each walkway, step-over and platform for condition, fixings and guarding, and check it still leads where people actually need to go.
