"Getting Roofing Right First Time" NFRC Panel at UK Construction Week 2026
But what does that mean in practice for roofing contractors, manufacturers, and the wider construction industry?
That is the question NFRC will be exploring at this year’s UK Construction Week, where experts from across the roofing supply chain will come together for a panel discussion focused on getting things right first time.
The panel, ‘Right First Time: The Future of Membrane Suitability’, will bring together Adrian Howe, Director at Stormforce Roofing, Matthew Sexton, Technical and Compliance Director at BMI UK & Ireland, and Thomas Marshall, Technical Manager (Construction) at Don & Low, alongside NFRC.
Taking place on Wednesday 30 September 2026, the session will look at what ‘suitable’ really means when it comes to roofing membranes, and how the industry can make sure products, specifications, standards, and installation come together to deliver compliant, high-performing roofs.
Meet the panel
With the roofing sector and wider construction industry facing a period of significant change, where fire safety requirements are becoming more demanding, expectations around building performance are increasing, and the drive towards energy efficiency is bringing technologies such as solar PV further into the mainstream, collaboration across the supply chain is more important than ever.
At the same time, homeowners, clients, specifiers, and regulators all expect roofing work to be safe, compliant, durable, and fit for purpose.
NFRC's panel at UK Construction Week will bring together perspectives from standards, manufacturing, and contracting to explore how the industry can close the gap between what the regulations require and what happens on site.
Join NFRC at UK Construction Week on 30 September from 2.30pm on the Building Envelope Stage. Tickets available here.
