When it comes to your home or business, the roof is your first line of defence against the British weather. But for many property owners, choosing a roofer can feel like a gamble. How do you distinguish a professional outfit from a “man with a van” who might disappear if something goes wrong?
At Hodgson Roofing, we believe in transparency and excellence. That is why we are proud members of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC).
Being an NFRC member isn’t just about having a logo on our website; it’s a rigorous accreditation that sets us apart from the competition. Here is why our NFRC membership is a massive win for you, the customer.
1. Vetted for Financial Stability
A roof is a long-term investment, and you need to know that the company providing your guarantee will still be around in ten years. The NFRC conducts thorough checks on our financials. Unlike smaller, unvetted firms, we have proven that we are a robust, secure, and well-managed business. You can feel reassured that we have the staying power to support our work for years to come.
2. Regular Inspections & Technical Excellence
The NFRC doesn’t just take our word for it—they check. To maintain our membership, we undergo regular site inspections where our workmanship is scrutinised by industry experts. This ensures we are always working to the highest British Standards. When you hire an NFRC member, you aren’t just getting a roof; you’re getting a roof that has passed the industry’s most demanding “MOT.”
3. The Power to Sign Off Your Own Work
One of the biggest advantages of using Hodgson Roofing is our ability to “self-certify” our work. For many roofing projects, Building Regulations require a compliance certificate. Because we are NFRC-accredited, we can sign off on a new roof ourselves, saving you the time, hassle, and cost of arranging separate local authority building control inspections. It’s a seamless, professional process from start to finish.
4. Comprehensive Insurance & Safety
Roofing is high-risk work. Many smaller contractors cut corners on insurance to save costs. As NFRC members, we must hold comprehensive Public and Employer’s Liability insurance. This protects you, your property, and our workers. Furthermore, our commitment to ongoing training ensures that our team is always up to date with the latest safety protocols and technical innovations.
5. Accountability and Recourse
In the unlikely event that something isn’t right, the NFRC provides a clear path for dispute resolution and a code of practice that we must adhere to. This level of accountability is something you simply won’t find with unaccredited roofers.
The Hodgson Difference
At Hodgson Roofing, we don’t just fix leaks; we provide security. By combining our local expertise with the national standards of the NFRC, we offer a level of service that smaller, unaccredited competitors cannot match.
