NFRC About Us

National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC)

Established in 1892, the NFRC is the largest and most influential roofing trade association in the UK. Our membership is comprised of trade (specialist roofing contractors), manufacturers and distributors of roofing products and systems and service providers to the sector.

Our Mission

To provide professional standards, guidance and auditing to our members, and to promote them to all key stakeholders responsible for the procurement and employment of roofing systems across the built environment.

We work closely with national standards agencies and other professional and trade bodies in reviewing and developing policies and publications.

Membership is conditional on a rigorous application process and ongoing review including triennial site inspections. All members must comply with our Code of Practice providing assurance to building owners.

We welcome and actively seek engagement with building owners and specifiers to encourage their understanding of the benefits of using our members and to the overall raising of professional standards across the whole sector.

Other Services

Established in 2012, NFRC CPS is part of the UK Government’s Competent Persons Schemes enabling roofing contractors to demonstrate third party compliance to ISO17065 and to self-certify certain types of roofing without the need to involve approved building inspectors and incur associated fees.

RoofCERT

In partnership with the CITB, NFRC is responsible for the development and delivery of RoofCERT, an accreditation scheme focused on supporting individuals across roofing occupations in proving their competency and meeting requirements under the Building Safety Act.
