NFRC has announced a one-week extension for entries to the UK Roofing Awards 2025.
The new deadline is Friday, 17 January and has been made in response to busy contractors’ requests, allowing more firms to submit their entries.
The awards will consider roofing, cladding or rainscreen projects completed between 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2024. They are open to any roofing contractor which is a member of NFRC, NFRC Competent Person Scheme (formerly CompetentRoofer) or another listed trade association.
New for 2025 is the Environmental Champion award, which will recognise an individual within a roof contracting company for their hard work, approachability, skills and contribution to sustainability within the sector.
Manufacturers, architects, specifiers and other stakeholders are welcome to submit projects, but 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 dedicated awards platform, into any of the following categories:
- Bituminous Hot Applied Liquid Waterproofing
- Cold Liquid Applied Waterproofing
- Environmental Champion (Individual award)
- Fully Supported Metal
- Green Roofing
- Health & Safety (Individual award)
- Heritage
- Leadwork
- Local Hero (Individual award)
- Mastic Asphalt
- Multi-discipline projects over £250k
- Rainscreen Facade
- Reinforced Bitumen Membrane
- Roof Slating
- Roof Tiling
- Sheeting and Cladding
- Single-ply Roofing
- Small Scale Project (under £25K)
- Solar Roofing
- Young Roofer (Individual award)
The sector will also get a chance to vote for their preferred shortlisted project through the Industry Choice award, and a single standout project across all categories will be named Project of the Year.
Entries are also open for Young Roofer of the Year. Nominations can be made by anyone to recognise an apprentice, qualified roofer with no more than three years’ experience, or roofing student.
‘Health and Safety Individual of the Year’ 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.
