Understanding Professional Indemnity Insurance for Roofing Contractors

As a roofing contractor, securing professional indemnity (PI) insurance is essential to protect your business against claims of professional negligence. This type of insurance covers legal costs and compensation payments if a client alleges that your work or advice has caused them financial loss. To ensure you get the best terms from an insurance broker, it is important to demonstrate good risk management practices.

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.
