Everything your pre-qualification team needs
Absolute Waterproofing holds current accreditation with NFRC, CHAS, SafeContractor, Constructionline, ARCA and MCS, and is an approved installer for every manufacturer whose systems we install. It is all listed here so you can check us against the requirement before you invite us.
Assessed by people who are not us
Third party accreditation matters because it is independent. Each of these bodies audits our systems, our records and in some cases our sites, and each has the ability to withdraw the accreditation if we stop meeting the standard.

Approved installer, not merely familiar
Approved installer status is what makes a manufacturer guarantee issuable. It requires system-specific training, assessed installations and periodic audit. Any contractor can buy the material. Not every contractor can get the guarantee signed.

If your specification names a manufacturer not listed here, ask us anyway. We take on new system approvals where a client relationship justifies it, and we would rather train for your specification than talk you out of it.
Compliance you can actually check
Health & safety
CHAS and SafeContractor accredited with a documented safety management system. Every operative is CSCS carded and working at height trained. We specify hot-work-free systems on occupied buildings as standard, which removes the single largest fire risk from the works.
Quality
Manufacturer approved across every system we install, with operatives assessed on detailing specifically. Works are inspected at defined hold points and signed off by the manufacturer technical team before guarantee issue.
Training & development
We recruit apprentices every year and train them through to NVQ and full CSCS status. Existing operatives are put through manufacturer system training as we take on new systems, and supervisors are supported through SSSTS and SMSTS.
Environmental responsibility
Environment Agency registered for controlled waste. We prioritise overlay over replacement where the survey supports it, which diverts substantial tonnage from landfill, and we install green and biodiverse roof systems as a specialism rather than a bolt-on.
