Stakeholder Membership

for m who require expert knowledge on UK roofing industry

The built environment sector is constantly evolving and responding to a wide range of cultural, legislative, environmental, technical, and regulatory changes. Within this arena, the roofing and cladding industry has a key role to play.

NFRC through its influence, knowledge and resources is the place for stakeholders to seek independent guidance and support and to share knowledge, as we collectively address matters such as the Building Safety Act rollout, revised Building Regulations and the Future Homes Standard, and commercial and domestic roof retrofit aligned to Government PAS and ISO requirements. NFRC and its Members are committed to meeting these opportunities through working collaboratively across the supply chain.

To become a NFRC Stakeholder Member and participate in shaping the roofing and cladding industry of the future, you must be in a position to demonstrate your interest in roofing, but not have in-house roofing or cladding installation capabilities.
