Marley Launches New Technical Tools Platform

Created on: 17 February 2026

We have launched a new Technical Tools platform designed to simplify roofing specification and support you in responding quickly and confidently to customer demand.

The enhanced digital service brings together multiple specification and estimating tools into a single, easy-to-use online platform. This means a faster, more accurate route to generating roofing project estimates, improving service levels for roofing customers and helping turn enquiries into sales.

Faster, clearer roofing estimates

By reducing the time required to compile specifications and calculations, the platform supports you in delivering clear, professional quotations more quickly than before.

Integrated solar configurator

Use the intuitive configurator to design solar arrays as part of the roofing specification, with the tool automatically calculating panel quantities, associated flashings and accessories, and providing an indication of system kW output

Right-first-time fixing specifications

For projects requiring detailed fixing guidance, the platform generates minimum fixing specifications for individual buildings based on roof dimensions, pitch, tile selection and site location. Specifications are produced in line with BS EN 1991-1-4 and BS 5534 fixing standards. Once generated, fixing specifications can be saved and retained for future reference, providing reassurance and traceability for both merchants and contractors.

NBS Specification included as standard

Marley’s Technical Tools also provides access to a full NBS Specification, outlining the scope of works for each roofing installation. This includes confirmation of product suitability, systems and accessories, alongside a concise summary of key installation requirements. The NBS documentation can support accurate installation costing and underpins Marley’s 15-year system warranty.

Designed to save time and reduce risk

Additional features of the upgraded platform include:
- Automatic product compatibility, ensuring only suitable tiles, accessories and colours can be selected based on location and roof design
- Guided, step-by-step workflows that prevent progress until errors or omissions are corrected
- Project archiving, providing a complete record of past specifications for traceability and peace of mind
