What it covers and whether it is required

Membership is voluntary. A roofing contract may still need Building Regulations notification or other approvals, and CORC membership is not itself a self-certification registration.

Joining requirements and costs

Businesses use CORC’s application route and must satisfy its membership checks and rules. Ask for the current evidence requirements for trading, references, insurance and technical competence, and confirm whether a particular guarantee product is available to the applicant.

Check the current fees with Confederation of Roofing Contractors before applying. Ask whether the quotation includes application, assessment, renewal and any per-job charges. Use published fees or ask for a written quotation.

What it means for homeowners

Check membership with CORC and read the roofing contract carefully. CORC explicitly says not all members can offer its insurance-backed guarantee arrangements. Ask it to confirm the contractor’s eligibility and obtain the actual policy for your project.

How to check a claim
