Safety Netting Reading

Professional Safety Netting Installation in Reading

At Total Cladding and Roofing, we provide professional safety netting services throughout Reading and the surrounding Thames Valley area. Our systems are designed to protect workers from falls at height and prevent debris from endangering the public or damaging property below.

We only use FASET-qualified riggers, and every installation is carried out in accordance with BS EN 1263-2standards and HSE guidelines. Whether your project is a city centre refurbishment, a large commercial build, or a domestic roof replacement, we design and install safety netting solutions that are reliable, compliant, and tailored to your site.

Why Safety Netting is Essential

• Fall Arrest Protection – Reduces the risk of injury by safely catching workers if they fall from height.

• Debris Containment – Prevents tools, tiles, and building materials from falling onto public areas or neighbouring properties.

• Improved Site Efficiency – Creates a safer environment for workers, boosting productivity and reducing downtime.

• Full Compliance – Meets all UK safety standards, helping you pass inspections without delays.

Our Step-by-Step Process

1. Site Survey – We assess your project location, working heights, and access points to recommend the safest netting setup.

2. Tailored Design – Each netting system is customised for your project’s specific needs.

3. Professional Installation – Rigged by trained experts using approved equipment.

4. Ongoing Inspections – Weekly safety checks to ensure nets remain secure and undamaged.

5. Safe Removal – Nets are dismantled or relocated according to your project schedule.

A: Ideally no more than 2 metres below the working level to ensure effective fall arrest.

Q: Can safety netting be used in high winds or bad weather?
