We are registered members of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors — the primary trade body for the roofing industry in the UK. Here is what that means for you as a Guildford homeowner.
The National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) is the UK's largest roofing trade body, representing over 70% of the UK roofing industry by value. NFRC membership is not simply a subscription — it requires meeting specific quality, insurance and conduct standards that are assessed before membership is granted and monitored throughout.
NFRC members are required to maintain a minimum level of public liability insurance — providing you with financial protection if property damage or personal injury occurs during work on your home. We carry £5 million public liability insurance, exceeding the NFRC minimum. You can ask to see our current insurance certificate at any time and we will provide it immediately.
NFRC members commit to the NFRC Code of Practice, which sets standards for how members price, quote, carry out and guarantee their work. This includes requirements for written quotations, clear terms and conditions, and a defined complaints and dispute resolution process. If a homeowner has an unresolved complaint against an NFRC member, the NFRC provides a formal mediation service.
NFRC membership can be verified independently via the member search on the NFRC website at nfrc.co.uk. Search for our company name and confirm our current membership status. If any contractor claims NFRC membership but does not appear in the register, they are misrepresenting their credentials.
Roofing attracts more fraudulent and low-quality contractors than almost any other domestic trade — the high ticket values, the difficulty of self-inspection and the urgency created by leaks make it a target. NFRC registration is not a guarantee of perfection, but it is the most reliable filter available. The operators most likely to cause problems are typically not NFRC members. We would recommend any Guildford homeowner to check NFRC membership before instructing any roofing contractor, regardless of other claims they make.
