Business description

A privately owned, well-capitalised UK construction group is actively seeking to acquire one or more roofing contractors as part of a long-term strategic expansion in the Midlands and surrounding regions. The acquirer is led by hands-on operators with a proven record of establishing and scaling regional contracting businesses, and they are now looking to grow through selective, partnership-led acquisitions.

Their focus is on roofing businesses with strong public-sector exposure — particularly those delivering work under framework agreements, housing association maintenance contracts, or term service arrangements for local authorities, NHS Trusts, or education bodies. Businesses with a mix of planned maintenance and project work are of particular interest, provided they demonstrate robust safety standards and compliance credentials.

This is not a private equity fund or a purely financial buyer. The acquirer is operator-led, pragmatic, and experienced in managing site-based teams, subcontractors, and client frameworks. Their acquisition rationale is to consolidate a fragmented local market under a safety-first, well-resourced brand, while preserving the culture, workforce, and client relationships of the businesses they acquire.

They are especially interested in companies with:

  • Turnover typically between £2m and £15m, though flexibility exists for smaller or larger opportunities where there is strategic fit.
  • Established relationships with public-sector clients, including councils, housing associations, and framework bodies.
  • Profitable trading history, or clear potential to reach sustainable profitability.
  • Experienced management teams or second-tier leadership willing to stay post-transaction.
  • A healthy balance of reactive and planned maintenance or refurbishment work.
  • Corporate carve-outs from bigger firms will also be enthusiastically considered.

The buyer’s approach is collaborative, discreet, and flexible. They are open to share or asset purchases, majority or full exits, and can structure deals with deferred consideration or management retention where appropriate. Transactions are funded through direct capital, with additional senior lending available, ensuring swift execution without lengthy investment committee processes.

Vendor succession and continuity are central to their approach. They are keen to support owners looking to de-risk or transition over time, providing operational support, management resource, and group infrastructure such as finance, health & safety, and tendering functions to strengthen the acquired business.

This group has a genuine interest in the long-term success of its partners. They place strong emphasis on staff welfare, client satisfaction, and operational standards rather than short-term financial engineering. All enquiries are handled in strict confidence, and discussions can begin under NDA if preferred.

If you are an owner, intermediary, or adviser aware of a roofing contractor that aligns with this profile, we would welcome an introduction for an initial, no-obligation conversation.
