What is the NFRC Competent Person Scheme
The NFRC competent person scheme is the only roofing specific scheme that allows roofers in England and Wales to self-certify their roof refurbishment work complies with building regulations.
​
The scheme gives property owners peace of mind that the roofing contractor is highly competent and skilled. It also reduces admin time associated with local authority building control saving overall time on the roofing project.
What does NFRC Competent Person Scheme mean for our customers?
Choosing an NFRC Competent Person Scheme registered roofer gives you peace of mind and makes the process easier. For qualifying roofing work, we can self-certify the work without you needing to make a separate Building Control application, and once completed, we’ll provide your Building Regulations Compliance Certificate.

Our registration shows that we meet the required standards of competence and compliance, while we take care of the certification process for you meaning less paperwork, less hassle and confidence that your roofing work is being carried out properly.
