Leka Systems, the Cardiff based conservatory roof manufacturer, has had a new company, Leka Systems FRCSE Limited, incorporated on 21 September 2026 by the same director who runs the existing business.
The brand’s own site currently describes a trade supplier and installer network model, with no franchise page or published franchise fee.
Leka Systems manufactures a lightweight solid conservatory roof, fitted in two to three days and carrying a 40 year warranty, and supplies it through what its own site calls a nationwide installer network of vetted and trained tradespeople, a route to market distinct from the construction and renovation franchises recruiting in the UK.
The established trading company, Leka Systems Limited, is registered in Cardiff, alongside a holding company, Leka Systems Holdings Ltd, set up earlier in 2026.
A name that reads as a franchise vehicle
Companies House records a further entity, Leka Systems FRCSE Limited, incorporated on 21 September 2026 and filed by the individual who directs the existing Leka Systems business.
The abbreviation in the company name reads as a reference to franchising, and its timing, shortly after the holding company was formed, is consistent with a group preparing a separate legal structure for a new part of the business.
No franchise offer published so far
Leka Systems’ own website sets out a trade supplier model: the company manufactures the roof system and supplies it to a network of installers who are vetted, trained and given marketing support and leads, a structure closer to an approved installer scheme than a franchise.
The site’s account of the network gives no total number of installers, no franchise fee and no territory map, and does not currently use the word franchise to describe how installers join.
Good to know
An installer or trade supplier network and a franchise are two different models. Where a manufacturer sells product to independent tradespeople under its own vetting and marketing rules, that is not a franchise unless it is described and structured as one, with its own agreement and fee, a distinction set out in what a franchise is.
A structure that has yet to be explained
The home improvement sector has seen several trade supplier and installer networks convert into franchise structures as they scale, adding a licence fee and a formal territory system on top of an existing supply relationship. That conversion typically brings tighter control over branding, marketing and pricing across the installer base than a looser trade supply arrangement allows, in exchange for the fee and the ongoing support a franchise agreement sets out.
Leka Systems has not said whether Leka Systems FRCSE Limited will become a franchise vehicle, a rebrand of the existing installer scheme or something else entirely, and the company has made no public statement about the new entity’s purpose.
Its Swindon showsite and Cardiff head office continue to present the business in trade supplier terms, with no franchise page yet published anywhere on the company’s site. Brands that do publish their terms can be compared across the UK franchise directory.
