Roofing specialists merge to expand national reach

Two established roofing specialists have joined forces.

Roofclad Systems, a leading roofing and cladding refurbishment specialist, is merging with Midlands-based Profile Industrial Roofing to enhance its service offering and expand its UK footprint. 

As part of the merger, Profile, founded in 1996, will rebrand as Roofclad Systems in a move that bosses are describing as a “natural progression” for two firms with “complementary strengths”.

The combined business will operate from five UK locations, including a new head office in Britannia Enterprise Park in Lichfield, Staffordshire, purchased earlier this year and set to be operational by January 2026. 

With a joint turnover exceeding £20 million, the expanded company directly employs 60 staff and works with at least 20 roofing subcontractors.

Roofclad Systems, which also has offices in Newcastle, Leeds, Warrington and Reading, serves clients across manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, retail, education and defence sectors, with the merger significantly strengthening its Midlands presence. 

David Clarke, former managing director of Profile Industrial Roofing, will co-lead the company alongside Roofclad Systems’ managing director Alex Tilley.

Alex said: “This merger is a natural progression for two established contractors with complementary strengths. 

“By combining our skills and resources, we can amplify what we do best while driving operational efficiencies. 

“This strategy will ensure we’re robustly positioned in a market where scale and integrated solutions are increasingly valued.”

David added: “Both businesses are on strong growth trajectories, so now is the perfect time for us to join forces. 

“Through five regional hubs, our clients will benefit from nationwide coverage, faster response times, and a wider range of services, including energy-efficient roofing systems and solar technology. 

“We also plan to create new roles, particularly in project management and technical services.”
