UK Roofing & Plastic Supplies

What UK Roofing & Plastic Supplies does

UK Roofing & Plastic Supplies Ltd (Company No. 1345702) is a privately held, regional roofing materials merchant operating from three physical branches in Slough (head office, SL2 5EA), Reading (RG30 1RA), and Oxford (OX4 2RD). Founded in 1977 as Amersham Roofing Centre and renamed in September 2006, the company has more than 47 years of continuous trading history and serves trade roofing contractors and builders as its primary customer segment, with homeowners and the general public as a secondary segment for DIY and small repair projects. The company is a Buy with Confidence member credited by Slough Borough Council, and the website emphasizes reputation, dependable stock, and quote-based customer service.

The company's core offering is a 118-SKU catalogue spanning pitched roofing (concrete and clay tiles from Marley, Redland, FP McCann, and Sandtoft; slates; timber battens), flat roofing (Cure It GRP, ClassicBond/Flex R EPDM, Restec Flexitec liquid systems, torch-on felt systems), roofing membranes, fascia and guttering (UPVC systems including Kestrel), Velux and COXDOME roof windows, Wendland conservatory roofing, Marley SolarTiles, accessories, and tooling/sundries. The product portfolio is sourced from 20 named supplier partners rather than being manufactured in-house; the company's own technology is limited to standard merchant operations (counter sales, branch-based phones and email, basic website catalog). There is no proprietary platform architecture, no e-commerce checkout, and no public pricing.

Commercially, the model is one-time hardware sales rather than recurring or subscription revenue. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly listed; customers contact branches directly (phone or email) or visit in person. Distribution is purely regional, restricted to England, with three physical trade counters serving the Thames Valley and Oxfordshire. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investment, parent, or subsidiary entities, and no management team, revenue, or headcount time-series information is publicly available beyond the 11–50 employee band.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Jewson: National UK builders' merchant carrying roofing materials alongside broader construction supplies. Competes for the same trade and DIY customer base purchasing roofing tiles, membranes, and accessories through branch-based distribution.
• Wickes: UK home improvement retailer serving both trade and DIY customers with roofing products among its broader range. Comparable in serving the homeowner/DIY segment of UK Roofing's customer base, though Wickes operates a much wider product catalogue.
• MKM Building Supplies: UK-independent builders' merchant group with national branch network. Comparable trade-and-retail customer model, with roofing materials forming a meaningful portion of its broader construction product offering.
• B&Q: UK's largest DIY and home improvement retailer. Overlaps with UK Roofing on the homeowner/DIY segment purchasing roofing tiles, flat roofing kits, and accessories, though B&Q operates at mass-market scale across many categories.
• Selco Builders Warehouse: UK trade-only builders' merchant with branches across the country. Comparable trade-customer focus and product overlap in roofing materials, accessories, and tools for construction professionals.
• Travis Perkins: Largest UK builders' merchant with broad product range including roofing materials. Overlaps with UK Roofing on pitched roofing, flat roofing, and fascia/guttering sales to trade professionals, though roofing is one of many categories rather than a specialty focus.

Regional players

• Burton Roofing Merchants: Long-established independent UK roofing merchant with multiple branches. Operates an essentially identical business model — specialty roofing supply merchant serving trade professionals — providing a direct regional-format comparison to UK Roofing & Plastic Supplies.
• Chandlers Roofing Supplies: Independent roofing merchant with multiple branches in southern England. Direct regional comparable on specialty roofing distribution to trade customers, with overlapping product categories across pitched, flat, and membrane roofing.

Emerging players

• Roofing Superstore: Online roofing materials retailer offering nationwide delivery. Comparable product range (tiles, membranes, flat roofing systems, accessories) but operates via digital-first model rather than physical branches — a contrast that highlights UK Roofing's branch-based service advantage and online gap.

Direct peers

• SIG Roofing: UK's largest specialist roofing materials distributor with national branch coverage. Directly comparable as a merchant of pitched roofing, flat roofing, membranes, and accessories serving trade roofers and builders — UK Roofing is effectively a regional, sub-scale version of this model.
