NFRC Competent Person Scheme—Compliance Simplified
Local authorities, Homeowners and Landlords
Whether you represent a local authority or housing association, or you are a landlord or homeowner it’s vital to ensure the competency of the contractors you employ.
This is where we can help—NFRC CPS registered contractors are rigorously inspected to ensure they adhere to all relevant British Standards, Health and Safety requirements and Building Regulations. Alongside this, each company has passed a financial probity check, an office audit and must provide their customers with a workmanship guarantee.
Our registered contractors can also self-certify their work and will provide you with additional financial protection whilst NFRC CPS handles obtaining a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate—for a fraction of the time and cost of getting one directly through Building Control.
You can find a registered CPS contractor near you by using our dedicated search function.
Alternatively, if you wish to discuss a project with us you can contact the NFRC CPS team.

Are you a roofing contractor?
If you are a roofing contractor and are not already part of the scheme, becoming registered with the NFRC Competent Person Scheme means you can self-certify your work, saving you time and money on getting certification from Building Control.
As well as reducing red tape, it makes you more likely to win work covered by Approved Document L1B. NFRC CPS contractors also have access to guidance from our in-house Technical team.
