Solve the UK Roofing Skills Crisis
45% of roofing firms struggle to hire qualified roofers as demand surges for energy-efficient retrofits and storm damage repairs. With an aging workforce and complex modern roofing systems, the skills gap is critical. TrainAR's AR platform accelerates roofer training with step-by-step safety guidance and quality assurance built-in.
TrainAR's AR-Guided Roofing Excellence
AR Safety & Setup Protocols
Before stepping onto roofs, AR enforces safety checklists - harness attachment, guardrail setup confirmed. On-roof, it defines no-go zones and alerts if trainees approach edges without protection, acting as an ever-vigilant safety coach.
Precision Installation Guidance
Apprentices see exactly where to place tiles, nailing patterns, and staggering joints through AR overlays. Visual cues show correct batten positioning and tile alignment, ensuring wind uplift resistance and weatherproofing every time.
Solar & Modern Systems Integration
AR guides mounting solar brackets without compromising waterproofing, showing correct rafter positioning and sealing methods. Enables rapid upskilling for new roof technologies including insulation retrofits and green roof systems.
