A roofer installs, repairs, and maintains roofs on residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. The work covers a wide range of materials and techniques: slating and tiling with concrete or clay, flat roofing with felt, EPDM, or fibreglass, lead work on flashings and valley gutters, and increasingly, installation of green roofs and integrated solar panels. Roofers also handle cladding, guttering, fascias, and soffits. It is a skilled trade that demands head for heights, attention to detail, and a solid understanding of weatherproofing principles.
On a typical new build housing site, roofers come in after the carpenters have finished the roof structure. You felt and batten the roof, then slate or tile it. On commercial projects, roofers might be installing standing seam metal roofing, single-ply membrane systems, or composite panel cladding. On renovation and maintenance work, you strip off old coverings, repair the timber deck if needed, and re-roof. Every job is different, and the variety is part of what makes roofing a rewarding trade.
All roofers need a valid CSCS card to get on site. The type of card depends on your qualifications:
The CSCS Alliance lists all partner card schemes at cscsgroup.co.uk. If you work with bituminous materials or built-up felt roofing, the CSCS Blue Card is the standard requirement.
Current pay rates from live SiteJobs listings:
Rates depend on the type of roofing, your skill level, and location. Roofers who can handle specialist work like lead welding, single-ply membrane, or heritage slating command the highest rates. Check live rates on SiteJobs - search sitejobs-code15 on Google.
The roofing trade covers several specialisms. Most roofers focus on one or two areas:
To upgrade from a Green CSCS card to a Blue card, you need an NVQ Level 2 in Roofing Occupations. The NVQ is work-based - an assessor visits you on site and watches you work. They assess your competence across real-world tasks: preparing roof decks, installing underlay and battens, fixing slates and tiles, cutting and fitting flashings, and working safely at height. The process typically takes 8 to 12 weeks and costs £600 to £1,200. CITB-registered employers may be eligible for grant funding towards the cost. Once you have the NVQ, apply for your Blue CSCS card at cscs.uk.com.
Roofing is one of the highest-risk trades in construction. Falls from height remain the biggest cause of construction fatalities in the UK. All roofing work must comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015). Full text at legislation.gov.uk. HSE guidance on working at height at hse.gov.uk.
The highest concentrations of roofer vacancies are in London, the South East, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, and the major new build housing corridors across the Midlands and South. Storm and weather damage creates seasonal demand, particularly after winter, and renovation work on older housing stock keeps roofers busy year-round in cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, and Bristol. Large housing developers need roofers on their sites, as do social housing maintenance contracts and commercial refurbishment projects. Browse SiteJobs by location to find roles near you.
