We pass the test – in more ways than one…

You won’t find many GRP canopy manufacturers like us.

Not only have we been leading, as well as redefining the outdoor canopy market for almost three decades, but we’re also passionate about exceeding our customers’ expectations.

We strongly believe that each and every one of our customers, whether they’re a school, hotel, housebuilder or homeowner, deserves more than they expect. And, even now, 50,000+ canopies later, it’s an experience we’re dedicated to making sure we always deliver on.

The entire Canopies UK team, from our surveyor to our installers, works closely together to provide our customers with bespoke canopy systems that come with a ten-year guarantee, as standard.

For our customers, our guarantees are a sign of the quality of our work, which is characterised by our careful attention to detail and superior craftsmanship that’s evident through-and-through.

But they aren’t the only features that demonstrate the high standards we work to

Being the industry-leading GRP canopy manufacturers that we are, our processes, systems, in fact, all areas of our work are all backed by industry accreditations and regulations.

For instance, this means every canopy that leaves our site has been independently tested to make sure it complies with BS6399-2:1997 for wind loadings and BS6399-3:1998 for imposed loads.

Meanwhile, some of our further testing relating to design load specifications stipulated by Eurocodes EC1 Parts three and four, have also been verified by independent structural engineers. Plus, we also have our own in-house test rig, which enables us to continuously fine-tune all of the products within our extensive range. We’re also:

• Members of Constructionline – the UK’s largest register for pre-qualified contractors and consultants
• Registered by Safemark – the National House-Building Council’s pre-qualification health and safety assessment scheme
• Approachable Certification/UKAS-certified – in recognition of the fact that we operate a Quality Management System that’s registered to BSEN ISO9001:2008. The system focuses heavily on our customers and making sure our products and services meet their requirements
• Accredited within the Contractors Health & Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) – which means the way we work is in line with the latest health and safety compliance requirements

We’re renowned for designing, manufacturing and installing outdoor canopies that stand up to the British weather and everything it has to offer, thanks to the combination of our insight, resources, experience and continuous testing and refinement that’s underpinned by industry accreditations like those listed above.
