Britain has one of the oldest housing stocks in Europe, many of them in conservation areas. Also there are many thousands of other listed buildings such as churches, civic buildings, old factories, mills, farmhouses cottages and country buildings, as well as stately homes and so on.
They are all part of our nation’s famous and very special heritage and when it comes to their repair and renovation they demand extra special workmanship and attention to detail. To help ensure that the roofs, at least, on these precious buildings are restored to the highest possible standards NFRC established a National Heritage Roofing Contractors Register.
The National Heritage Roofing Contractors Register is fully endorsed by Historic England, Cadw Welsh Historic Monuments, the Environment and Heritage Service for Northern Ireland, Historic Scotland, The National Heritage Training Group and CITB.
