Roofing staff
We have a permanent workforce of fully qualified slaters, tilers, felt roofers and lead workers. Each working squad consists of a minimum of two men (one
of whom will be the team leader). Team leaders report either to the
Contracts Manager or to senior management.
All the workforce have been awarded CSCS cards (Construction Skills Certification
Scheme) and most have achieved NVQ level 2 or 3 in Slating and Tiling.
There is an ongoing training programme designed to ensure that all operatives
achieve NVQ level 2. Our lead workers have achieved Gold and Silver status
under the Roofing Industry Alliance Hallmark Quality Standard.
