What ULTRAPANEL BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED does

ULTRAPANEL BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED is a UK-based manufacturer of next-generation Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) building systems, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Clitheroe, Lancashire. The company operates as a subsidiary of Ultraframe Group, which provides a 500,000 sqft manufacturing facility and 40 years of roofing systems experience. Ultrapanel sells a patented panelised building technology that integrates walls, roof, and floor into a single offsite-manufactured system, allowing buildings to be erected in days rather than months. Its product portfolio includes the core SIP system for new-build housing, the 'hup!' lightweight extension product for SME builders, and an EWI (External Wall Insulation) retrofit system targeting the UK energy-efficiency upgrade market.

The company sells to UK volume housebuilders, SME builders, Registered Housing Providers, and Local Authorities, with named customers including Northstone, Bow Tie Construction, and the Mayor of London's Retrofit Accelerator programme. Its products carry BBA certification, NHBC Accepts technical approval, and ConstructionLine membership, enabling specification by warranty-backed residential developers. Strategic partnerships with Daikin and Octopus Energy position the panels as part of integrated whole-house solutions. Revenue is undisclosed, and the company operates strictly within England and Wales with no disclosed international expansion to date.
