Safe Rooftop Walkway

rooftop walkway drawing

A modular roof walkway providing a safe, anti-slip, level walkway for workers who need to access a roof. The system also protects the roof surface from unnecessary damage.

Suitable for modern roofs including trapezoidal profile composite or built up and standing seam metal roofs. It can be used on flat, barrel, or sloping roofs, with steps and a traverse option so you can create access to virtually any roof configuration from 0 to 35 degrees. Can be easily integrated with guardrails to create a collective fall protection system.

Available in both nylon and aluminium treaded options.

Designed to meet EN 516:2006, the European standard for the test requirements of roof access walkways.

Why Use Our Rooftop Walkway?

Protects Workers & The Roof

Customised For You

Fully Compliant

A flexible system providing safe access to all areas of a roof. Not only does it protect those accessing the roof, but it also protects the roof sheet itself.

The modular system that can be configured bespoke to your needs, allowing it to be used safely alongside all manner of hazards and restrictive spaces.

Complies with the test requirements of EN 516:2006, the European standard for the test requirements of roof access walkways.

Add Guardrails For Collective Protection

Thanks to its modular design, our rooftop walkway can easily accommodate the additional guardrails. They can be installed on either side of the walkway or on both sides.

When guardrails are installed on both sides of the roof walkway, the system can be used as a collective fall protection.

Collective fall protection solutions provide safe access for all workers who need to access a roof. They do not need special training to use the walkway. All they need is PPE with no other special requirements.

Where roof walkway systems are used

A roof walkway does two jobs. It gives the people who have to be on the roof a defined, level, non slip route, and it keeps them off the parts of the roof that will not take them: fragile rooflights, standing seam sheet, membrane that the roof warranty depends on. The typical brief is a route from the access point to the plant that needs maintaining, with changes of level and pitch handled by steps and traverse sections rather than by people climbing.

  • Access routes to rooftop air handling units, chillers and solar arrays
  • Standing seam and trapezoidal metal roofs where the sheet must not be walked on
  • Fragile roofs, keeping people to a route that avoids rooflights
  • Flat and barrel roofs on commercial, education, public and retail buildings
  • Routes that cross pipework or plant, combined with step over platforms

How a FastClamp roof walkway is put together

The walkway is modular. Non slip treads sit on supports matched to the roof construction, so a standing seam roof, a trapezoidal sheet and a flat membrane each get the right support detail. Step sections and traverse sections take the route across changes in level and pitch. Guardrail can be added on one side or both, built from FastClamp® tube and fittings, which turns the walkway into a collective fall protection route where the edge is close. Everything is assembled with a hex key: no welding, no hot work on the roof.

Specifying and ordering

Send us a roof plan or aerial view with the route marked, the roof construction, the pitch, and photographs of the access point and the plant. Our technical team returns a layout drawing and a parts list, and puts you in touch with a UK distributor to supply it. Where the route passes within reach of an unprotected edge, look at Defender roof edge protection for membrane roofs or edge protection for metal roofs for sheet roofs, and rooflight covers where the route passes rooflights. For a fuller guide, read safe roof access and rooftop walkways. To start, contact our technical team.

Can a roof walkway be fitted to a standing seam roof without penetrating it?

Yes. The supports are matched to the roof construction, and standing seam roofs use a support that clamps to the seam rather than fixing through it. Tell us the roof construction and we will confirm the support detail.

What roof pitch can a walkway be used on?

The system is designed for roofs from flat up to 35 degrees, using step and traverse sections as the pitch increases. Confirm the pitch when you enquire so the sections can be specified.

Do I need guardrails on the walkway?

Guardrail on one or both sides turns the walkway into a collective fall protection route. Whether it is needed depends on how close the route runs to an unprotected edge and on the duty holder’s own assessment. Our team can advise on what the system supports for your route.

Who installs the walkway?

FastClamp supplies through UK distributors; installation is arranged by your distributor or your own contractor. The system is modular and assembled with a hex key, with no welding on the roof.

What do you need from me to quote?

A roof plan with the route marked, the roof construction and pitch, and photographs of the access point and the plant the route serves. We return a layout drawing and a parts list.
