Saint-Gobain UK & Ireland has acquired SIG Roofspace Solutions for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition was completed on December 14, 2018.
The business, which was set-up in 2008, provides a turn-key panelised roofing and room-in-roof solution to housebuilders. Mike Chaldecott, chief executive officer of Saint-Gobain UK & Ireland, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Roofspace to Saint-Gobain. It is a great business that provides solutions to customers that saves them time and streamlines the construction process. We know that the construction industry has to be more efficient, more productive, more innovative and embrace off-site manufacturing. Roofspace is already offering customers these benefits and has delivered roofs for over 2,500 newbuild homes in the last year.”
Mike continued: “Roofspace manufactures its off-site solutions within factory conditions before delivering to its customer’s site. This service means that Roofspace can install multiple roof packages a day, rather than one roof, which takes around 10-12 weeks. This type of construction, manufactured off-site, ensures greater control and accuracy of the finished roof solution, and ultimately enhances the performance and comfort of the home for the homeowner.
“Roofspace further accelerates our capability to serve the rapidly expanding off-site manufacturing sector, adding to our expertise, which already includes our Pasquill business, and its timber roof-trusses, Scotframe’s timber-frame houses and Saint-Gobain steel-frame systems.
“I look forward to working with Roofspace to develop its business and services over the years ahead.”
SIG Roofspace Solutions will now be known as Roofspace.
