Bespoke Roof Safety Platforms & Roofing Platform Systems in Victoria, London

SERV Contracts recently completed the design, supply, and installation of bespoke roof safety platforms at a commercial property on Buckingham Palace Road, Victoria, London, on behalf of MAP Contracts. This project demonstrates our expertise in delivering roofing platform systems that enhance safety, compliance, and accessibility in challenging urban environments.

Specialist Roof Safety Platform Systems for Commercial Buildings

Roof safety platforms and rooftop access systems are essential for the safe inspection, maintenance, and servicing of plant and equipment. In central London locations, space constraints, structural limitations, and existing roof layouts often make standard proprietary systems unsuitable.

For this project, SERV Contracts delivered a fully bespoke roofing platform system, designed specifically to suit the building’s roof configuration while providing safe and practical access for maintenance personnel.

Site Assessment and Early Design Planning

Every successful roof safety platform installation begins with a detailed understanding of the site. Our team carried out a comprehensive site assessment to evaluate:

• Roof structure and load-bearing capacity

• Existing rooftop plant, services, and access routes

• Fall risks and edge protection requirements

• Interfaces with roof membranes and finishes

This information informed the design of a custom roof safety platform system that balanced safety, usability, and structural efficiency.

Bespoke Roof Safety Platform Design and Engineering

Unlike off-the-shelf roof access platforms, bespoke systems allow platforms to be designed around the building rather than forcing the building to suit the system.

The bespoke roof safety platforms installed at Buckingham Palace Road were engineered to provide:

• Safe access and clearly defined working areas

• Non-slip decking surfaces to reduce slip risks

• Integrated guardrails and edge protection for fall prevention

• A layout that minimised additional roof loading

• Long-term durability for regular maintenance access

All elements were designed in line with relevant British Standards and current health and safety legislation.

Planning and Delivery of Roofing Platform Systems in Central London

Delivering roofing platform systems in a busy London location requires detailed planning and coordination. Restricted access, delivery constraints, and surrounding public activity were all key considerations.

SERV Contracts worked closely with MAP Contracts to ensure:

• Approved risk assessments and method statements

• Coordinated deliveries to suit site access restrictions

• Safe systems of work for working at height

• Installation aligned with the wider construction programme

This collaborative approach ensured the works were completed safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.

Fabrication and Installation of Roof Safety Platforms

Once the design was approved, the bespoke roof safety platforms were fabricated to specification with quality checks carried out prior to delivery. Installation was completed by our experienced team, focusing on:

• Accurate positioning and secure fixing

• Protection of existing roof finishes

• Consistent build quality and professional presentation

• Maintaining safe access throughout the installation process

The completed roofing platform system now provides a safe, compliant, and practical solution for ongoing roof access and maintenance.
