Roofline and PVC building products manufacturer Freefoam has publicised its ongoing supply relationship with LBS Builders Merchants, framing the partnership around keeping Freefoam product lines stocked "in every branch" of LBS's network. The company describes the relationship as built on trust, service and shared values rather than a one-off supply deal.
Freefoam manufactures fascia, soffit, cladding and rainwater products widely used on roofline and exterior work. LBS Builders Merchants operates a branch network supplying trade customers across its regions.
Why this matters for UK trades
For roofers, fascia installers and general builders, the practical takeaway is availability: a manufacturer publicly committing to consistent branch-level stock at a merchant group reduces the risk of a job stalling because a specific profile or colour isn't on the shelf. This kind of supply-chain reliability story matters more on roofline products than it might elsewhere, since fascia and soffit runs often need matching stock across a job rather than a single unit.
No detail has been published on which specific product ranges are covered by the "every branch" commitment, or whether this extends to all LBS locations nationwide.
