AccuRoof: the new name for SIG Design & Technology
Precision and accuracy are the cornerstones of specification. Design is a painstaking process that demands careful consideration. Small errors can lead to big future headaches – and we’re here to help you avoid them with accurate, trusted advice and comprehensive support for your roofing projects.
As part of SIG Roofing and SIG plc, you have the backing of one of Europe’s major suppliers of products to the construction industry. We’re a trusted pair of hands that you can rely on for projects of all shapes and sizes.
Our Key Suppliers
We work closely with key suppliers in the roofing industry
As a supplier with a broad product portfolio, we aren’t biased to any one roofing technology or brand. With AccuRoof, you know you’re getting a recommendation based on suitability, not stock.
In an ever-changing world of legislation, we help architects and specifiers make the informed choice. Our specialists help you cut through the red tape, taking the burden of navigating regulations off your shoulders.
Extensive product knowledge, roofing expertise and decades of experience helps us provide technical support you can rely on. Listed buildings, tricky details, large-scale projects: whatever your challenge, our team can help.
Our roofing systems can be provided with material, labour (in the event that the roofing contractor goes into insolvency) and system warranties of various periods depending on your requirements and the system.
Your design may be exceptional, with creative solutions and a precise specification, and still be unravelled by a poor installation. Our national network of specially trained and registered roofing contractors can implement your vision, as you see it.
Years of collaboration with the industry’s leading manufacturers provides flexibility and makes their range of tested and compatible materials, products and components easily accessible to you.
