Enter now for the NFRC Local Roofing Hero Award
SIG Roofing is once again sponsoring the National Federation of Roofing Contractors NFRC Local Roofing Hero Award and is now asking for nominations from the UK roofing community. It’ s a celebration of roofers who deeply care about their work, their customers, and their communities. Entry is free and easy at www. sigroofing. co. uk / local-hero, and the deadline is 23rd March.
Celebrating Outstanding Craftsmanship and Community Impact
Every community has its unsung heroes— individuals who show up, work hard, and make a real difference through their skill, dedication, and commitment to helping others. In the roofing industry, these everyday champions often work quietly and humbly, despite the tremendous impact they have on homes, businesses, and the people they serve. The NFRC’ s Local Roofing Hero Award, proudly sponsored by SIG Roofing, was created to shine a light on these exceptional individuals.
Now a highlight of the NFRC’ s annual awards programme, the Local Roofing Hero Award recognises roofers who go above and beyond, not only in their craftsmanship but in their contribution to their local community. While many awards in the construction sector focus solely on technical excellence, this unique accolade celebrates the human side of the industry— compassion, integrity, and a

An Award Built Around People, Purpose, and Pride
The Local Roofing Hero Award was established with a simple yet powerful vision: to honour the individuals who embody the best of the roofing profession. These are the roofers who bring exceptional quality to their craft, who take pride in every tile, slate, or flat roof they lay, and who extend that same pride into the way they support their communities.
This might be through volunteering their time to help vulnerable residents, providing emergency repairs during severe weather, mentoring young apprentices entering the trade, or demonstrating remarkable leadership during challenging local projects. The award seeks to acknowledge not just technical skill, but heart and humanity.
What makes the award particularly special is that nominations often come from customers, colleagues, or members of the local community who have personally experienced a roofer’ s generosity or dedication. These real stories— often emotional, inspiring, and heartfelt— highlight the incredible impact roofers can have beyond the jobsite.
Past nominations have included roofers who repaired community buildings free of charge, responded to emergencies in dangerous conditions, stepped in to
support elderly residents with urgent repairs, and craftsmen who have devoted decades to nurturing the next generation of talent in their area.
Recognising those who go above and beyond …
A panel of NFRC judges review each submission, assessing not only the technical aspects of the nominee’ s work but the broader positive influence they’ ve had on the people around them. The winner is then celebrated at the NFRC Roofing Awards ceremony, one of the most prestigious events in the roofing calendar.
As a long-term advocate for professional excellence and skills development in the roofing sector, SIG Roofing is the perfect sponsor for the award. Their commitment to raising standards, supporting training, and championing industry causes aligns seamlessly with the values behind the Local Roofing Hero recognition.
By honouring these individuals, the NFRC and SIG Roofing help raise the profile of the profession, inspire others across the industry, and ensure that the quiet acts of kindness, skill, and dedication shown by roofers across the UK are recognised and celebrated.
