Masterclass overview

Roofing is the build stage that leads to the highest number of defects and warranty claims in new homes. Delivered by our highly skilled and experienced NHBC Building Inspectors, the masterclasses will help you get things right first time, in turn saving costs and improving productivity.  

These Masterclasses are a HBF initiative delivered by NHBC in partnership with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors and funded by CITB.

Who should attend?

This Masterclass is suitable for anyone working as a roofing contractor or who is involved in the supervision or management of roofing works.  

What you will learn

We will cover common issues and best practice around: 

  • underlay and battens and roofing components 
  • mortar 
  • fire stopping 
  • condensation control/ventilation 
  • weathering and flashings 
  • fixing of slates and tiles 
  • wet and dry verges and valleys 
  • dry/ventilated ridges. 

Delegates will each receive copies of all the slides, the relevant chapters from the NHBC Standards, a practice quiz and contact information for further technical queries.
