Kershaw Roofing

What Kershaw Roofing does

Kershaw Roofing Limited is a UK commercial building envelope contractor founded in 1995 and headquartered in Eastleigh, Hampshire. Originating as a single-ply roofing specialist, the company broadened within its early years into structural steel and cladding systems and now operates across three UK offices (Eastleigh, Winchester and Plymouth), with additional international project delivery into Eire, continental Europe and the Far East using English-speaking operatives. It positions itself as a one-stop envelope provider to commercial, industrial, residential, education and public-sector clients and cites long-standing relationships with major UK retailers (Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, M&S, Homebase, B&Q) and tier-one construction firms (Willmott Dixon, Sir Robert McAlpine, Bowmer & Kirkland, Galliford Try, Midas, ISG Pearce).

The company's product surface spans 11 core service lines: sheet roofing and cladding, rainscreen systems, pitched roofing and tiling, single-ply membranes, structural roof decking, living roofs and walls, cold-applied liquid roofing, commercial solar PV, asbestos services, industrial and commercial flooring, and safety systems (fall arrest, guardrails, edge protection, access ladders). Underlying capability is anchored by approved-installer status with principal manufacturers including SIKA (QA Approved), Trocal (Sika Group), Kingspan, Euroclad, Danosa, Optigreen, SIG, Centaur, SolarEdge and JA Solar. The firm carries an unusually dense UK compliance stack — NFRC, Constructionline Gold, CHAS Premium Plus, SSIP, CompetentRoofer, MCS NICEIC, IPAF, Builders Profile — that functions as a prerequisite for tendering on most public and main-contractor work.

Revenue is generated solely through bespoke, project-based contracts for new installation, refurbishment or repair; pricing is quote-driven with no published rate cards, and billing follows per-project milestones or completion. The go-to-market is enterprise-focused direct sales, with the company tendering to main contractors and end owners via an in-house pipeline covering surveys, CAD draughting, design development and installation. Customer concentration spans multiple named logos across retail, construction, hospitality (Premier Inn / Whitbread), education (University of Winchester), and heritage/public projects (Plymouth History Centre, Mayflower Theatre, Thames Barrier Visitor Centre, Tunsgate Quarter Guildford). Marketing relies on the company website, displayed accreditations and prominent client-logo placement rather than active outbound demand generation.
