THE National Federation of Roofing Contractors claims to have more of its members involved in the Government’s Quality Mark scheme than any other trade association.

One of the reasons for this is that its stringent entry procedure and code of practice means that NFRC members had already met many of the scheme’s criteria. In addition to ensuring workmanship, the Quality Mark gives householders a guarantee of up to six years on insolvency as well as work carried out.

For more information on NFRC members, phone 0207 436 0387; for details on the Quality Mark, call 0845 300 80 40.
