About us

Here, you can find everything you need to know about your small local roofing firm based in Gedling And Nottingham

Unlike many roofing websites, which use this page to stuff keywords for search engine rankings with phrases like "best roofers in Nottingham" or pushy sales tactics such as "call us now, we're the number one trusted roofers in Nottingham," you'll find none of that here.

We don't need to be number one on Google. Our loyal customers and word-of-mouth referrals keep our diary full. Instead, we use this page to genuinely tell you about us, so you can make an informed decision about whether you’d like to use our services.

  • Our History

    NRC has been around since the 1980s, and our eldest roofers have been roofing since the early 1970s. They have passed their extensive knowledge down to the younger generation in our family-run firm.

    Since the 1970s, roofing has come a long way. There were no websites back then, and word of mouth was the most popular way to gain work. All of our work in the first few decades—from the 1980s to the 2000s—came from word of mouth, whether it was through local pubs throughout Gedling and Carlton or general neighbors and community members recommending our small family firm to others in conversations when asked for local roofer recommendations.

    Although the world is less reliant on face-to-face interactions due to the internet, we still notice that 90% of our work comes from our customers recommending us to others, and we have our loyal customers to thank for this.

  • We're Not Just in the Roofing Business, We're in the People Business...

    At NRC, we build strong relationships with all our customers. When you choose a local firm like ours, it's likely you'll see us again. It's not uncommon for our roofers to bump into our clients in the local supermarket or high street, and we always make sure to say hello. When customers choose us, they’re not just getting a one-time service.

    Our excellent aftercare and ongoing commitment are some of the reasons we have such a great reputation, not just in Mapperley and Gedling, but also in the surrounding areas of Nottingham

Our Team

Here you can find out more about our team and what makes our firm unique, from labourers learning the trade to time-served roofers who have a need for perfection in every detail—even if it means running a few hours behind schedule. Whatever the job, we all work together to get it right the first time.

  • The Labourers

    Labourers often don't get the credit they deserve, but our labourers are our roofers' most trusted helpers.

    Most roofers won't admit this, but labourers are a key part of any roofing firm. We invest in our labourers; they are not just taught decades of knowledge from 1st and 2nd generation roofers, but also attend college to learn the trade. This mixture of hands-on real-world experience and classroom education gives them the skills they need to master the trade.

    When we're at merchants speaking to other roofing firms, it's common to hear complaints about young labourers not turning up to work and spending their day swiping through social media on their phones. We are fortunate enough not to have that problem.

    Our labourers enjoy working at NRC. They are hardworking, polite, well-mannered, and great with our customers. They are the future roofers, and we lead them by example, showing integrity and pride in every job.

  • 2nd Generation roofers

    Our 2nd generation roofers range in age from 36 to 50 years old. Roofing is all they know, with many starting their training at a young age after school and on weekends, then going into roofing full-time after leaving school. They are passionate about what they do and have a perfect blend of knowledge to solve any roof-related problem. They combine old, time-proven traditional methods passed down from our 1st generation roofers with new, modern techniques, adapting to current building regulations.

    Over the years, their high attention to detail and unstoppable work ethic through long, harsh winters and red-hot summers have kept our reputation intact. They are a true credit to our family-run business.

  • 1st Generation Roofers

    Our 1st generation roofers, aged 50 and older, began their careers in the 1970s when flat roofing methods involved hot tar mop and roll techniques. Since then, roofing methods have evolved significantly, but their time-proven wisdom and expertise continue to shape our team. They impart skills in heritage work, specialized lead sheet welding, and more, ensuring their knowledge is passed down through the generations. Some are semi-retired but still lend a hand from time to time.
