Established in 2006 NFRC’s UKAS accredited Competent Person Scheme (CPS) is the only dedicated competent person scheme for the roofing sector in England and Wales. Hundreds of contractors are approved under our Roofing Competent Person Scheme, self-certifying around 19,000 projects each year.
The NFRC Competent Person Scheme enables roofers to self-certify roof refurbishment work where 50% or more of the roof is being replaced.
