Roofers Urged To Make The Most
Of Competentroofer Membership
Continuing its membership awareness
campaign - ‘Get wise, get savvy, get
NFRC’ - The National Federation of Roofing
Contractors is urging roofers to make the most
of their membership of CompetentRoofer,
and for non-members to seriously consider its
merits.
Increasingly seen as a key distinction between
companies in the refurbishment market,
CompetentRoofer encompasses all types of
roofing - including domestic, commercial and
industrial properties. The scheme essentially
enables roofers to self-certify that their
refurbishment work complies with Building
Regulations.
Should fifty percent or more of the roof
need replacing, then under the Building
Regulations, the Local Authority would have to
be notified a minimum of 48 hours before work
commences.
As well as alleviating customers of this
added pressure, charges for Building Control
Inspectors to approve the roof can be avoided,
as well as the inconvenience of waiting for
an inspector to visit. For domestic work, this
saves a fee of somewhere between £200 and
£400 a job, and it is even more for commercial
work.
Derived from the Government’s Competent
Person Scheme and operated by NFRC,
CompetentRoofer is open to all roofing
contactors in England and Wales and is easy
and inexpensive to join. As well as distinctive
vehicle stickers and recognisable logos,
members will feature on an exclusive website
listing and enquiries can even be re-directed
to members’ own websites. Regular updates
and technical advice are also provided.
