What is CoverLite™ Skylight Protection Rental?

CoverLite™ is a temporary skylight protection system available for hire across the UK, designed to reduce the risk of falls when working near fragile rooflights.

Safesite’s CoverLite™ rental solution gives contractors and facilities teams access to a proven, compliant safety system, without the need to purchase equipment outright.

Manufactured from durable Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), CoverLite provides a strong yet lightweight protective barrier that can be quickly installed at the start of your project and removed once work is complete, making it ideal for short-term works.

Its patented lattice design allows natural light to pass through, maintaining internal visibility while protecting workers above.

Ideal for Temporary Works & Maintenance Projects

Our skylight protection rental service is perfect for:

  • Roof inspections and surveys
  • Planned maintenance works
  • Installation and refurbishment projects
  • Emergency roof repairs
  • Facilities management access

Skylights are a major fall hazard on rooftops, and having a reliable temporary skylight cover hire solution in place is essential to keep your workforce safe and your site compliant.

With CoverLite™ rental from Safesite, you get a fully compliant, ready-to-use system designed specifically for short-term works, without the cost or hassle of purchasing equipment.

CoverLite Skylight Protection System in Action

CoverLite Engineered for Rooftop Safety

A practical safeguard for high-risk areas

Fragile skylights are a leading cause of rooftop accidents. CoverLite offers a tested and temporary solution for rooftop work where safety is essential.

Fixings must be used correctly

Install each panel using the dedicated brackets, rivets and straps to ensure secure, weatherproof performance.

Install additional panels with care

Where multiple panels are used, they must be placed in a longitudinal layout. Each requires its own fixing set — brackets cannot be shared between panels.

Orientation matters

CoverLite must always be installed with the yellow side facing up. This enhances visibility and helps prevent accidental contact with skylight openings.
