DUE to popular demand from busy contractors, NFRC has announced a one-week extension to the deadline for entries into the UK Roofing Awards 2024.
The new deadline has been confirmed as Friday 19 January, in order to allow as many firms as possible time to submit their entries.
The 2024 Awards will consider roofing, cladding or rainscreen projects completed between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2023. They are open to any roofing contractor in membership of NFRC, NFRC Competent Person Scheme (formerly CompetentRoofer) or another listed trade association.
New for 2024 is the Solar category, recognising excellence in rooftop solar, which alongside the Green Roofing category highlights the crucial role of roofs and the built environment in meeting ambitious net zero goals.
Manufacturers, architects, specifiers and other stakeholders are welcome to submit projects, but they must ensure the roofing contractor who carried out the work is a member of one of the listed trade associations.
Companies can submit an entry now through the awards platform, into the following categories:
- Bituminous Hot Applied Liquid Waterproofing
- Cold Applied Liquid Waterproofing
- Fully Supported Metal
- Green Roofing
- Heritage Roofing
- Leadwork
- Mastic Asphalt
- Multi-discipline projects over £250k
- Rainscreen Façades
- Reinforced Bitumen Membranes
- Roof Slating
- Roof Tiling
- Sheeting & Cladding
- Single Ply Roofing
- Small Scale Project (Under £25k)
- Solar—new category for 2024!
One standout project across all categories will be named Roof of the Year.
Entries are also open for Young Roofer of the Year. Nominations for this award can be made by anyone to recognise an apprentice, qualified roofer with no more than three years’ experience, or a roofing student.
The Health and Safety Individual of the Year Award will also be presented to someone who has gone the extra mile in a health, safety and environment role. The entry process for this particular award is slightly different, and those wishing to make a nomination should contact NFRC’s Joanne Lear.
