Silvercrest Energy Group designs and installs permanent commercial roof safety systems that protect people, safeguard buildings and ensure compliance with UK Work at Height Regulations. Whether you’re maintaining rooftop plant, accessing HVAC equipment or installing commercial solar PV, our engineered handrail systems provide reliable collective fall protection without compromising roof integrity.
Designed for long-term performance, our roof edge protection systems help organisations improve safety, reduce maintenance costs and create secure access for contractors and facilities teams.
Commercial rooftops are increasingly used to accommodate plant equipment, renewable energy systems and routine maintenance activities. Without suitable edge protection, they present one of the highest-risk working environments on any commercial property.
Silvercrest Energy Group designs bespoke roof safety systems that deliver permanent fall protection while meeting the latest UK safety standards. Every installation is engineered around your building, operational requirements and long-term maintenance strategy.
Our roof handrail systems are designed to support compliance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005, relevant BS EN standards and current HSE guidance, helping building owners and duty holders demonstrate best practice.
Permanent collective fall protection significantly reduces the risk of falls from height, helping protect employees, contractors and visitors while reducing potential liability and disruption.
Provide secure access to HVAC equipment, roof-mounted plant, commercial solar PV systems and other rooftop assets without relying on temporary access equipment or PPE alone.
Our non-penetrative, counterweighted handrail systems eliminate unnecessary roof penetrations, helping maintain weatherproofing and preserving manufacturer warranties.
Every commercial roof presents different challenges. Silvercrest Energy Group designs bespoke handrail systems for:
- Warehouses and distribution centres
- Manufacturing facilities
- Office buildings
- Retail parks and shopping centres
- Schools and universities
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Public sector buildings
- Commercial property portfolios
Every installation is designed specifically for the building’s roof construction, access requirements and ongoing maintenance needs.
As specialists in commercial solar PV, Silvercrest Energy Group offers fully integrated rooftop safety solutions.
Installing permanent roof edge protection alongside a commercial solar installation creates a safer working environment for installation, inspection and future maintenance while reducing project costs and minimising disruption.
Designing both systems together also allows us to coordinate ballast layouts, eliminate clashes between solar mounting systems and handrail supports, and optimise the use of available roof space.
