United Roofing Products

What United Roofing Products does

United Roofing Products (URP) is a UK-based manufacturer and distributor of metal roofing, cladding, and building envelope solutions, headquartered in Cullompton, Devon. Founded in 2001 by John and Ali Dominy as a family-run metal roofing business, the company was acquired by SIG PLC in 2013 and has since operated as a subsidiary within SIG's national distribution network while retaining its regional brand and South West identity. URP runs a 40,000 sq ft manufacturing facility that produces single-skin profiled metal sheets, twin-skin built-up systems, structural decking (including the in-house D32 deck), metal gutters, flashings and fabrications, fixings, and accessories, alongside co-developed proprietary systems such as Highlight ventilated wall cladding, Anticon condensation-control fleece, and the Gemello/Gemello Revive systems developed with SIG Building Solutions.

URP operates a hybrid manufacturer-distributor model, combining in-house production with resale of tier-one brands (Kingspan, Brett Martin, Fatra, Plygene, COMAX, Lindab, Filon, Rockwool, TRUMPF). Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales on a quote-based, project-specific pricing model, supplemented by free value-add services — technical advice, site visits, project calculations, design guidance, and quantity take-off (QTO) — that embed the company in the specification cycle. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting contractors, specifiers, and end-users across industrial, agricultural, refurbishment, and residential verticals, with concentrated strength in South West England and national reach through the SIG network. Marketing is supported by a Training Academy, case studies, technical resources, and grassroots sponsorships. Record turnover of £27 million was reported in 2022, and the company has subsequently expanded its manufacturing footprint (2024 relocation to Hitchcock's Business Park) and commercial leadership (June 2026 Sales Director appointment) to support further growth.
