Who we are
The voice of the single ply roofing industry
SPRA is the trade association representing the UK’s single ply roofing industry. Our mission is to achieve growth and sustainability in all sectors of the industry by raising awareness of single ply technology and its value, and by ensuring manufacturing and installation standards remain high.

Why we exist
Raising standards across the whole supply chain
SPRA members are actively involved in the monitoring, development and reporting of cutting-edge technologies to improve single ply products, installations and aftercare. Our technical resources provide guidance and support focused on current best practice, honed from the skills, knowledge and experience of members since the association began.
Our objective is to continue to improve the overall technical and quality standards of single ply roofing in the UK by making membership accessible to everyone involved throughout the supply chain.
