Principal Designers: What You Need to Know

CPS Compliance Tips: Fixing Specifications

A fixing specification is more than a technical requirement, it’s what ensures a roof is installed correctly, performs as intended, and stands up to the demands of its environment for years to come.

Site Inspection Guidance

When a NFRC Competent Person Scheme (CPS) inspector attends an on-site inspection for a roofing refurbishment project where 50% or more of the roof covering is being replaced and the thermal element is being upgraded, they will need to assess several key areas to ensure compliance with Building Regulations, especially Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power).

Key differences between NFRC and CPS

The NFRC Trade Body exists to provide a sense of community, as well as support and guidance for roofing contractors. They can access helpful resources, education, and keep up to date with legislation and techniques. The Competent Person Scheme, as part of the wider NFRC group allows roofing contractors to demonstrate their competency in a range of roofing disciplines.
