Whether you’re specifying a retractable roof as part of a new build, a commercial redevelopment, or an outdoor workspace on a corporate campus, we design, manufacture, and install bespoke systems tailored to the project brief.
Construction companies, private commercial businesses, and tech organisations are among the sectors supported through our partnership with Megavent. For architects, contractors, and developers specifying outdoor space as part of a wider project — from a corporate campus breakout space to a business park amenity building — our team works directly with the project brief from initial consultation through to design, delivery, and installation.
See our full range of commercial retractable roof capabilities on the Commercial Retractable Roofs hub page.

It depends on the size, location, and use of the structure. For residential-scale installations, planning permission is often not required unless the structure is larger than 30m² or the property is listed or in a conservation area. Commercial and large-scale projects are assessed individually, and we recommend checking with your local planning authority or asking our team for guidance as part of your quote.
Yes. Our retractable roof systems can be installed as an extension to an existing building or rooftop, or specified as part of a new build project.
Our retractable roof systems are self-standing and can span up to 100 metres without requiring any centre support.
The structure uses A-grade, non-corrosive aluminium profiles with a durable powder-coated finish, combined with polycarbonate roof sheets that are 12 times stronger than toughened glass. Cast nylon rollers, stainless steel fixings, and high-grade EPDM sealants complete the system.
Yes. The system is designed and tested for UK conditions, with UV coating on both sides of the roof panels, and a 100% leak-proof, EPDM-sealed construction built to withstand heavy wind, rain, and snow.
Yes. Our retractable roofs are fitted with automated, electrically powered mechanisms as standard, allowing the roof to be opened or closed at the touch of a button.
Enclosures are fitted with lockable sliding doors and key security, making them suitable for securing pools, gyms, equipment, and other valuable contents overnight or outside of operating hours.
Lead times vary depending on the scale and specification of the project. As a general guide, our standard retractable roof system has a lead time of around 12 weeks; large-scale or bespoke commercial projects should be discussed directly with our team for a project-specific timeline.
Yes, we offer finance options for commercial customers. Call our team on 01733 665295 for more information.
We provide an initial average quote free of charge as soon as you enquire. Depending on the size and location of the project, we’ll then arrange a survey and provide a final quote breaking down materials, installation, and delivery. Surveys may carry a fee depending on location, which is deducted from the final order value.
With our Annual Preventive Maintenance programme, our retractable roof systems have an overall lifespan of 25–30 years.
The polycarbonate roof panels carry a 10-year warranty, the aluminium profiles a 30-year warranty, and the powder coating a 15-year warranty.
The system is designed to be low-maintenance. We recommend an Annual Preventive Maintenance check to protect the full 25–30 year lifespan of the structure.
A flat, solid base is required for installation. We can provide this at additional cost, including building a plinth on top of existing hard standing, or a timber or composite decking base.
Our retractable roof systems have been installed on gyms, swimming pools, and restaurant rooftop settings across the UK. Through our infrastructure partnership with Megavent, our capability also extends to government agencies, airports, construction projects, sports franchises, shopping malls, private commercial businesses, and tech organisations.
Yes, the frame can be painted in any colour of your choice, including wood-effect finishes, to match a business’s existing branding or building exterior.
