Areco

Areco has been a trusted name in the flat roofing industry since the mid-1960s, founded by former roofing contractors Ralph Stride and Charlie Jones. We revolutionised traditional roofing methods by introducing GRP and aluminium trim systems, which remain industry standards today. Over five decades, we have expanded our product range to include A1 fire-rated decking, polycarbonate roofing systems, and bespoke metal fabrications. Our mission is to provide high-quality, reliable products while maintaining environmental responsibility. With a dedicated team based in Aldridge, we offer expert support and tailored solutions for architects, contractors, and specifiers across the UK and Ireland. Our Glasstrim GRP trim is widely specified for public sector projects, including schools and hospitals, while our Nutrim aluminium trims enhance prestigious commercial developments.

We operate from a purpose-built facility with a fully stocked trade counter, ensuring rapid delivery of roofing accessories and systems. Our in-house design and manufacturing capabilities allow us to create custom solutions, from secret-fix aluminium cappings to powder-coated box gutters. We prioritise customer service, with experienced staff available to discuss technical requirements or provide bespoke quotes. As part of Watts Clift Holdings Ltd, we continue to invest in innovation, maintaining our position as a leading distributor of flat roofing materials.
