Verplas Ltd

What Verplas Ltd does

Verplas Limited is a UK-based manufacturer of plastic ventilation and ducting products, established in 1986 and operating from a manufacturing facility in Verwood, Dorset. The company produces PVC round and rectangular ducting in multiple diameters and profiles, the proprietary Rapid Self-Seal quick-fit ducting system, thermally insulated variants, radial ducting for Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) installations, flexible and acoustic insulated hoses, external grilles, internal valves, fire-rated sleeves, tile ventilators, and pre-packed installation kits for common residential applications. Manufacturing uses recycled PVC sourced from decommissioned windows and door frames, and the company holds ISO 9001 quality certification, Made in Britain membership, and Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation status.

Verplas sells exclusively into the United Kingdom, targeting three primary customer groups: the broader construction industry (builders, contractors, and developers), HVAC installers, and new build developers requiring SAP-tested compliant ventilation systems. All products are engineered to satisfy UK-specific building regulations, including Approved Document F, the Domestic Ventilation Compliance Guide, and NHBC Chapter 8.3, which functions as a meaningful specification barrier in new build housing.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market combining a direct sales team reachable by phone, an online customer portal for registered trade buyers, and downloadable technical resources including REVIT BIM models and data sheets that support specification in construction projects. Pricing is quote-based per order with no public list pricing, and the company announced a temporary 8.25% surcharge on orders delivered from 1 May 2026 in response to material, energy, and logistics cost inflation. Verplas is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Indutrade, a Swedish diversified industrial group, and operates within Indutrade's Code of Conduct and governance framework. The company has accumulated multiple industry awards through 2024–2025, including Gold at the Employee Excellence Awards and a Gold Investor in Customers award.

Products and services

• Rapid Self-Seal Ducting A proprietary push-fit PVC ducting system that allows sections to be joined quickly and securely without glue or mechanical fixings, used by HVAC installers for domestic and light-commercial ventilation.
• Rapid Self-Seal Thermal Ducting Insulated version of the Rapid Self-Seal ducting system, providing improved thermal performance and condensation control for ventilation runs through unheated spaces.
• Rectangular Ducting Flat, rectangular-section PVC ductwork used where ceiling or floor void space is limited, supplied with compatible fittings and accessories.
• Round Ducting Circular PVC ductwork and fittings for general-purpose extract and supply ventilation runs in homes and small commercial buildings.
• External Grilles Weather-resistant external grilles used to terminate ducting through external walls, providing airflow while preventing ingress of rain and debris.
• Internal Valves Internal extract and supply air valves fitted at room terminals to control airflow in kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas.
• Ducting Accessories Range of bends, connectors, reducers, clips, and fixings that complement Verplas's rigid ducting systems and enable complete installation assemblies.
• Flexible, Semi-Rigid and Acoustic Ducting Flexible and semi-rigid ductwork options, including acoustic-lined variants, for connections between rigid duct, MVHR units, and room terminals where some flexibility or noise attenuation is required.
• Noise Solutions Specialist acoustic ducting and attenuation products designed to reduce noise transmission through ventilation systems in residential and commercial buildings.
• Radial Ducting Radial (manifold) ducting system that distributes ventilation air from a central unit to multiple rooms via a single manifold, simplifying MVHR and centralised extract installations.
• Fire Solutions Fire-rated ducting and associated fire-stopping products designed to maintain compartmentation and fire resistance where ductwork penetrates fire-rated walls and floors.
• Tile Ventilators In-line tile ventilators used to provide roof-space or ducted ventilation terminations through the roof, typically for bathroom, kitchen, and MVHR extract.
• Pre-packed Ducting Kits Pre-assembled kits of ducts, fittings, valves, and grilles packaged for common installation scenarios, simplifying ordering and on-site assembly for installers and housebuilders.

Quantifiable outcome

• All ducting lengths made from recycled windows and door frames, helping reduce waste going to landfill

Direct peers

• Domus Ventilation: UK-based ventilation manufacturer producing ducting, MVHR units, and accessories for residential and commercial applications. Directly comparable product portfolio targeting the same HVAC installer and new-build developer customer base as Verplas.
• Manrose Manufacturing: UK manufacturer of ducting, fans, and ventilation accessories marketed under brands such as Manrose and Ventisol. Directly competes with Verplas on round and rectangular ducting through builders' merchants and electrical wholesalers in the UK.
• Vent-Axia: One of the largest UK mechanical ventilation manufacturers offering fans, MVHR systems, and associated ducting. A broader specialist that overlaps with Verplas on ducting components and competes for the same installer relationships.
• Nuaire: UK-based manufacturer of residential and commercial ventilation systems, including MVHR units and ducting. Directly comparable on the radial ducting/MVHR proposition that anchors Verplas's radial range.
• BPC Ventilation: UK supplier of ducting, fans, and ventilation components sold largely to merchants and installers. Closely comparable channel and product mix to Verplas, with overlapping rectangular/round PVC ducting lines.
• Greenwood Airvac: UK ventilation manufacturer known for passive and mechanical extract ventilation, ducting and accessories. Competes with Verplas in residential MVHR and ventilation ducting for the UK installer base.
• Titon: UK-listed ventilation and window hardware specialist selling ducting, MVHR and air distribution components to construction and developer customers. Comparable product set and overlapping end-markets with Verplas.
• Polypipe (Genuit Group): UK's largest plastic piping systems manufacturer producing ducting, drainage, and underfloor heating products. Competes with Verplas in PVC ductwork while also offering broader system integration that Verplas cannot match.

Broad incumbents

• Elta Group: UK-based parent of brands including Elta Fans and Fresh Air (Trox subsidiary era). Larger, broader HVAC player whose fans and ducting overlap with Verplas's offering for commercial and residential ventilation projects.

Regional players

• SIG PLC: UK-headquartered building products distributor that resells ducting, insulation, and HVAC components alongside proprietary brands. Adjacent rather than competing head-on, but shapes the channels and price benchmarks Verplas navigates.
