What it covers and whether it is required

SPRA membership is voluntary. It does not replace project design, Building Regulations compliance or a manufacturer’s system-specific approval.

Joining requirements and costs

The membership route distinguishes categories. SPRA’s published membership page says contractors must be CITB registered to be eligible. Ask SPRA for the remaining current technical, business, insurance and assessment requirements for the application.

Check the current fees with Single Ply Roofing Association 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 that the contractor is a current member in the relevant category and is authorised for the selected system where required. Obtain the specification, workmanship terms and manufacturer’s warranty separately. Do not use an association logo as evidence that all roof details are covered by insurance.

How to check a claim

Official member, card or certificate check: Single Ply Roofing Association.

Match the record to the named person or contracting business. Check the current scope, not just a logo on a van or an old certificate. If the public record does not show the detail you need, ask the body to confirm it before appointing the business.

Where the scheme applies
