RoofersCoffeeShop.uk joined roofing professionals from across the U.K. to celebrate award-winning craftsmanship, innovation and community.

The U.K. roofing industry came together in spectacular fashion at the 2026 U.K. Roofing Awards, recognizing the projects, companies and individuals who continue to raise the bar for excellence across roofing and cladding. Hosted by National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), the annual event welcomed more than 900 industry professionals to celebrate outstanding workmanship, safety and innovation from across the United Kingdom. 

This year’s celebration also highlighted the strong international relationships within roofing, as representatives from the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), National Slate Association (NSA) and Slate Roofing Contractors Association (SRCA) travelled from the United States to attend the event and celebrate alongside U.K. roofing professionals. Their presence underscored the global respect for the craftsmanship, technical expertise and industry leadership recognized through the U.K. Roofing Awards. 

From historic restoration projects and complex waterproofing systems to cutting-edge solar installations and community leadership, this year’s awards showcased the incredible breadth of talent across the roofing sector. RoofersCoffeeShop.uk was proud to be in the audience celebrating all the competitors, finalists and winners who demonstrate the professionalism and craftsmanship that define the U.K. roofing industry. 

One of the most celebrated recognitions of the evening was Project of the Year, awarded to Staick House by Rowlands Roofing, a project that also earned top honours in the Heritage Roofing category. The Industry Choice Award, voted on by the sector, went to Little Eversden, Cambridgeshire, completed by Roof Brothers Ltd working with CUPA PIZARRAS S.A., reflecting strong industry support for exceptional craftsmanship. 

Winners represented excellence across every roofing discipline. Major category winners included One Leadenhall by Lindner Prater Ltd for Bituminous Hot Applied Liquid Waterproofing, The Library, Murray Edwards College by Millane Contract Services Ltd for Cold Applied Liquid Waterproofing and Chester Zoo by Safeseal Roofing Ltd for Green Roofing. In metal roofing, Rockmount by Install Zinc Ltd took top honours in Fully Supported Metal while Robin House by Aim Developments Ltd working with Sika Ltd won the Single Ply Roofing category. Solar innovation was also recognized with St Nicholas Leisure Centre by Stace Roofing Ltd receiving the Solar award. 

The evening also celebrated the people who make roofing stronger. Sean Lynden of Blackpool Industrial Roofing was recognized with the Local Hero Award for going above and beyond in his community. Edward Radley of Marksman Roofing & Cladding earned the Individual Health & Safety Award and Corey Dowell of Progressive Systems Ltd was named Young Roofer of the Year, highlighting the next generation of roofing talent. 

At RoofersCoffeeShop.uk, we are proud to share the stories behind these award-winning projects and celebrate the contractors, manufacturers and teams that continue to elevate roofing excellence. The U.K. Roofing Awards are a powerful reminder that roofing is built on craftsmanship, innovation and people who care deeply about the work they do every day.
