State of the Roofing Industry Report–Q4 2024 Available Now
This report is prepared by AMA Research on behalf of NFRC (The National Federation of Roofing Contrators). This report looks at activity during the three months to December 2024. This survey of NFRC members was conducted between 14 January 2025 and 4 February 2025.
I was encouraged that, after a challenging quarter, members remained positive about their current and future workload expectations, albeit less optimistic than we saw in Quarter 3. We inevitably expect a slight decline in winter as bad weather and fewer hours of daylight affect work on site, often holding up construction; however, this quarter also saw impacts of the autumn budget.
Key findings:
- Roofing contractors are less positive than they were in Quarter 3.
- Both workload and level of new enquiries remain positive, but levels have declined from the previous quarter.
- Roofing contractors working in RM&I, especially those in commercial RM&I, are particularly positive about their expected workload in the year ahead.
- Recruiting skilled labour continues to be challenging.
