This year’s winners showcase the exceptional talent across the industry continues to grow and thrive.
On 8 May, the U.K. Roofing Awards tallied the votes and crowned the winners of their 2026 awards in front of over 900 guests at the O2 in London! This year’s awards, which were headline sponsored by Radmat Building Products Ltd, saw a record number of entries and the event was an unforgettable celebration of the roofing and cladding disciplines.
James Talman, National Federation of Roofing Contractors’ (NFRC) CEO gave a speech at the event:
We have once again witnessed the importance of recognising the outstanding talent from across the roofing sector. This was a sell-out event with over 900 guests from across the U.K., Europe and even the United States, celebrating the best of British roofing. I’d like to thank each of our sponsors for their generous support, and congratulate every team and individual who made it to the finals. To the winners, your achievement is remarkable and you’ve done the U.K. roofing sector, and NFRC, tremendously proud.
A total of 21 awards were handed out throughout the afternoon by special guest host Sara Barron and the category sponsors. Between awards guests enjoyed entertainment from singing waiters and the night closed with an incredible afterparty kindly sponsored by Recticel Insulation U.K.
