FP McCann To Showcase End-To-End Roofing Offer At InstallerSHOW 2026

FP McCann will use InstallerSHOW 2026 (23–25 June, NEC Birmingham) to highlight the rapid expansion of its roofing division and its shift to a complete, single-supplier offer for the UK market. Visitors to Stand 3E34 will be able to see how the business has broadened its scope to meet demand for simpler supply chains and assured product compatibility.

The company has moved beyond its precast concrete roots to assemble an integrated roofing package. FP McCann says the strategy enables contractors, specifiers and housebuilders to source primary roof coverings and key accessories from one manufacturer, reducing complexity and risk.

Central to the approach are two recent acquisitions: the Leighton Buzzard roofing operation and Lancashire-based Easy-Trim. Rather than simply expanding its catalogue, FP McCann has combined these assets to build a unified system spanning tiles and accessories.

The Leighton Buzzard deal adds well-known tile profiles — including SL8, Gemini and Centurion — which are paired with UK-made accessories such as dry-fix systems, membranes and lead-free flashing. FP McCann says it will continue producing these established lines alongside its existing concrete roof tile range, while offering guaranteed compatibility across the full roof build-up.

Easy-Trim contributes a portfolio of UK-manufactured components, including lead-free flashing, eaves ventilation products and dry-fix roofing systems. When combined with FP McCann's concrete tiles, the company says the result is compatibility and long-term performance across the whole roof structure.

Sustainability will also feature strongly. FP McCann's concrete roof tiles are manufactured at a fully automated, £30 million facility in Cadeby, Leicestershire, which the company says is powered entirely by solar energy and has capacity for 60 million tiles a year, supporting reliable and lower-impact supply.

The firm is developing graphene‑enhanced concrete (GEC) roof tiles aimed at cutting the carbon footprint of concrete tiles by 15–20% without compromising strength — a potential benefit for developers working towards net-zero goals. More information is available at: fpmccann.co.uk/portfolio-items/revolutionising-roofing/

At the show, visitors can handle products, discuss the benefits of a unified supply chain and learn about FP McCann's 15-year guarantee on its roofing systems. The team will also outline a streamlined customer service model, including a free estimating service that aims to return quotations within 48 hours. Those unable to attend can find further details at fpmccann.co.uk/uk/concrete-roof-tiles/.
