We’re Seeking Roofing Companies with Public Sector Expertise

Chris Ray • 30 October 2025

Branta has been appointed to identify acquisition opportunities in the UK roofing sector on behalf of a privately owned, well-capitalised construction group

Our client’s focus is on established roofing contractors - primarily those with public sector frameworks, housing association work, or long-term maintenance contracts - operating across the Midlands and nearby regions.


This isn’t a speculative or private equity search. The acquirer is an operator-led group, run by people who understand what it takes to manage teams, meet framework standards, and deliver safe, compliant work.


Funding and advisors are already in place, and they are ready to move quickly on the right opportunity.


If you’re aware of a roofing business that might align with this profile - whether a client, peer, or contact - this is an opportunity to start a confidential conversation with a credible buyer.

What our buyer is looking for Feature
Type of business Roofing contractors (pitched or flat)
Location Midlands preferred, nearby regions considered
Revenue £5m - £10m
Customers Primarily public sector, housing associations, and framework contracts; limited commercial work acceptable
Revenue mix Recurring or planned maintenance valued
Reason for sale Retirement, succession, or growth partnership

The buyer’s approach is collaborative and low-profile, placing strong emphasis on continuity of staff, customers, and relationships.


Why Engage Now?

Public-sector roofing and maintenance markets are consolidating. Many of the best transactions happen before a business is formally marketed.


This group offers:

  • Quick decisions – direct capital, no investment committees
  • Fair valuations – tied to achievable performance and continuity
  • People-first approach – safeguarding teams and client relationships
  • Flexible deal structures – day-one consideration and deferred options


We’ve put together a short Acquisition Brief outlining the full criteria and rationale - you can download it here.
