At the Heart of Roofing
National Federation Roofing Contractors

The National Federation of Roofing Contractors Limited

Britain has one of the oldest housing stocks in Europe, many of them in conservation areas. Also there are many thousands of other buildings such as churches, civic buildings, old factories and mills, as well as stately homes and so on. 

They are all part of our nation’s famous and very special heritage and when it comes to their repair and renovation they demand extra special workmanship and attention to detail.

To help ensure that the roofs, at least, on these precious buildings are restored to the highest possible standards NFRC established a National Roofing Contractors’ Register.

This unique service provides an assurance for specifiers and others seeking a roofing contractor to carry out this exacting work that they appoint a company with the most appropriate skills and experience in the field. It also provides an invaluable geographical guide to sourcing authentic replacement materials.  

The National Heritage Roofing Contractors’ Register contains only roofers with a proven track record who fall into two categories: 

  • Heritage Roofmaster: Can provide both technical design capabilities and quality workmanship. 
  • Heritage Craftroofer: These firms will always provide quality workmanship but do not offer the design facility.

The companies qualifying for the Register have all undergone close, stringent scrutiny. What’s more their work is consistently reviewed by a panel of highly qualified experts in all aspects of traditional roofing.

The National Heritage Roofing Contractors’ Register is fully endorsed by English Heritage, Cadw Welsh Historic Monuments, the Environment and Heritage Service for Northern Ireland, Historic Scotland, The National Heritage Training Group and ConstructionSkills.
