Representing the UK roofing sector
NFRC is the UK's leading roofing trade body, representing over 70% of the UK roofing industry by value. Our members are experienced and qualified to carry out works in the public, private, and commercial sectors. If you are a homeowner in need of roofing services, visit our dedicated homeowner's hub for guidance.
Industrial/Commercial
NFRC supports the work of the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) in promoting commercial development through investment, innovation and intervention to stimulate demand. We support the use of the private sector construction playbook promoted by the CLC as a guide to best practice.
Our Members serve all major clients and Tier 1 supply chains.
We work collaboratively with Build UK on improving procurement practices, recognising skills and attracting new talent into the sector. NFRC Members who are also registered as part of NFRC CPS can self-certify industrial/commercial refurbishment projects in England and Wales.
Housing developments
Our focus is to support our members and the sector as set out by the CLC’s Housing Group to meet the challenging demand of substantial increases in the volume of homes constructed alongside the need for higher standards of quality, safety and energy performance.
We input into the work of the NHBC on compliance, knowledge and skills development and collaborate with the House Building Federation on promoting these outputs. Alongside newbuild, NFRC Members carry out framework contracts on re-roofing developments.
Public works
The Construction Playbook sets out key policies and guidance for how public works projects and programs are assessed, procured and delivered. The Scottish Government provides A Client Guide to Construction Projects aimed primarily at public sector clients. Most public roofing works are delivered via Tier One contractors.
NFRC promotes through its membership of Build UK Central Government Payment Performance in accordance with the Statutory Guidance for Contracting Authorities and Suppliers.

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.
All members must pass a rigorous inspection before joining, and are then inspected every three years thereafter. They are assessed on their technical competence and commercial capability. NFRC members who are also registered as part of the NFRC CPS can self-certify flats and housing refurbishment projects, and public re-roofing works in England and Wales.
