About us
At Rose Roofing we specialise in manufacturing bituminous roofing and construction materials.
Operating out of a single site in Castleford West Yorkshire allows us to service our customers efficiently and keep lead times to a minimum. Our location gives us fantastic access to the countries road networks and enables us to offer an excellent service across the U.K.
We have developed our range of products during our growth and can meet any requirements in the bituminous waterproofing market; from DIY to high performance modified torch on.
In 2002 we formed Rose Building & Waterproofing LLP where we manufacture a wide range of bituminous waterproofing solutions alongside Rose Roofing Ltd at our site in Castleford.
We can offer a wide range of products that can service the needs of the entire Roofing & DIY market offering an almost complete product range.
We pride ourselves in building long standing relationships with some of the UK’s leading merchants, leisure manufacturers and retail operations.
Every product we manufacture is tested in our in-house lab to ensure it is of the highest quality. Multiple parts of each batch are sampled and tested before being approved. Our laboratory is audited multiple times a year by numerous certification bodies to ensure that each test is being carried out to the highest standard.
The products that we manufacture are covered by ‘BS EN 13707:2004+A2:2009-Flexible sheets for waterproofing – Reinforced bitumen sheets for roof waterproofing – Definitions and characteristics’. The standard harmonises the methods of testing and assessment of the products and provides a consistent manner for the information to be expressed so that meaningful comparisons can be made by the end user. It does not state which products perform best under certain conditions, the decision on whether the product is fit for purpose and intended use still lays with the end user.
The approach the certification takes is twofold, samples of the products are tested for essential requirements as required by the standard (different requirements and test frequencies depend upon the intended use of the product). The
test results for the essential characteristics are presented in a Declaration of Performance (DoP) which also shows basic manufacturer information and regulatory compliance of the product / group of products. Please find Rose Roofing’s
product DoP’s below.
The certification body also assesses the company’s ability to produce consistent conforming products via its manufacturing procedures and controls and will then issue a FPC Certificate (Factory Process Control) which is audited annually.
