ETFE Roof Maintenance, Inspection & Repair
Widely referred to as a ‘next generation’ material within modern architecture or sometimes known as the ‘bubble-dome roof’ or ‘inflatable roof’, ETFE or Ethylene-Tetra-Fluoro-Ethylene is being increasingly used to provide visually impactful coverings at stadiums, shopping centres, airports, schools, theatres and leisure complexes, to name just a few places.
But it’s not just the use of ETFE that is evolving – our knowledge of this innovative co-polymer is continually progressing too. In fact, with years’ experience of inspecting, maintaining and repairing ETFE roofs, canopies and structures throughout the UK and overseas, our height experts are well-equipped to ensure you maximise the longevity of your ETFE assets.
The elasticity, resistance and strength of ETFE means structures can enjoy a design life of 50-60 years, if designed-well. But that doesn’t mean they don’t require inspections and maintenance to prevent degradation.
Our rope access technicians can therefore provide a range of high quality ETFE support solutions, ranging from routine inspections to ensure consistent performance, through to emergency pillow repairs when the unexpected happens such as pillow deflation, bird strikes or pump malfunctions to name a few. Talk to us about what’s possible – with such vast expertise we can cater for all your ETFE maintenance requirements.

ETFE Roof Maintenance & Inspection
Routine & efficiency for your ETFE structure
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
If you want to ensure the optimum condition and performance of your ETFE roof, a routine or planned preventative maintenance (PPM) regime will help to maintain its longevity and will provide you with peace-of-mind that your roof is safe and functioning at it's best.
This doesn’t mean we’ll need to constantly visit your site – quite the opposite in fact. Following an initial inspection and report, we will devise a planned schedule of work according to what needs doing and when. Then, we'll complete any immediate repairs, if required, and put forward our recommendations to efficiently maximise the quality and life-span of your asset. We use a proactive cloud reporting tool to log all maintenance works, so you are constantly in the loop with a LIVE report!
That’s not to say we can prevent the unexpected. Sometimes our ETFE roof maintenance specialists are called out to conduct emergency repairs from deflated ETFE pillows to bird-pecked holes, for instance. If the unexpected does occur, rest assured that we have a wide range of ETFE roof maintenance and repair resources available to solve your issue quickly and efficiently.
In case of emergency...
Whilst life would be a lot easier if we could all plan for everything, sometimes the unexpected happens! The key thing is to ensure you have a support structure in place, should an ETFE emergency call out be required.
With response teams throughout the country, we can be with you just at the time when you really need us. This means that, the aftermath of a bird strike, for example, can be repaired before it causes any disruption.
