Areco roofing specialists deliver high-quality roofing systems, materials, and supplies across Birmingham and the UK. Their extensive range includes GRP trim, aluminium trim, flat roof materials, roofline products, and more, ensuring they cater to a variety of roofing needs.
Founded in the mid-1960s by former roofing contractors Ralph Stride and Charlie Jones, Areco began with a simple goal. Ralph and Charlie saw the need for a faster, cleaner alternative to traditional welted drips. This led to the creation of Aluminium Trim. The business quickly expanded, selling trim by the ton to major manufacturers and contractors. As demand grew, they introduced additional products like breather vents and roof drains. In the early 1990s, they launched their renowned Glasstrim GRP Trim brand, which remains their best-selling product.
In 1994, Ralph retired, and the business transitioned to Watts Clift Holdings Ltd., a family-run company. Under new ownership, Areco received consistent investment, driving sustained growth. In 2005, they moved to a larger facility in Aldridge. This allowed them to expand further, adding innovative and high-quality products to their portfolio.
Areco’s products are trusted by architects, specifiers, and membrane manufacturers. Glasstrim GRP Trim is widely used in schools, hospitals, and public buildings. Nutrim Aluminium Trims, often polyester powder-coated, add an elegant finish to prestigious housing and commercial developments.
Their range extends beyond trims to include Daylight Systems, Rooftop Plant Supports, Guardrails, and Paving and Decking Supports. These products meet the needs of both public and private sector projects.
