Membership isn't something that's simply purchased; it requires undergoing a thorough vetting process that many companies simply do not pass and being able to demonstrate, with evidence, sound business practice and quality workmanship.

Reasons to use an NFRC Member

NFRC is the UK's leading roofing trade body, representing over 70% of the UK roofing industry by value. NFRC Membership is earned, and each year we reject hundreds of applications that don't meet our standards.

Trade Members

Roofing Contractors—those who carry out the work. Before becoming a member, the contractor must pass a vigorous vetting procedure, including an office and site audit. This ensures that every member works to the standards set by NFRC.

Supplier Members

These Members fall into three groups: roofing product manufacturers; roofing product merchants; and service providers. You do not need to be a member of NFRC to use our Supplier Members' services.

Why use an NFRC Trade Member

  • For High Standards–To ensure that NFRC contractors offer the highest standards in workmanship and customer service, all member contractors are rigorously vetted before joining NFRC and every three years thereafter. 
  • A roofing contractor must meet the following vetting criteria: 
    1. A satisfactory trading record, including financial stability 
    2. Inspections of current, live, and past contracts to verify quality craft skills and technical competence 
    3. Satisfactory public, employers’ and third party insurance cover 
    4. Compliance with Health and Safety Legislation 
    5. Compliance with the NFRC Code of Practice, Building Regulations, as well as British and European Standards
  • For Technical Support–Free technical advice is available from NFRC to our member contractors to assist them in upholding the highest standards of workmanship. NFRC supplements this member benefit with a comprehensive series of technical publications. 

Why use an NFRC Supplier Member

Broadly, this falls into three groups: the manufacturers of roofing products; the merchants who sell roofing products to roofing contractors and building companies; and service providers. There are various service providers but typically we have insurance brokers, health and safety specialists, computer software companies, healthcare etc, basically any service that our member companies may require. 

All Supplier members have to abide by the NFRC Terms and Conditions of Membership and NFRC Code of Practice so all can expect a fair deal whilst working to improve the status of the roofing industry. 

In addition to our Membership categories, we also manage the National Heritage Roofing Contractors Register.
