Accreditations & Safety
Roofing is skilled, and often high-risk, work. These are the accreditations and safety standards that show we take it seriously, explained in plain English.
Independently assessed, properly qualified
We hold recognised accreditations that are independently checked, not badges we have awarded ourselves.
CHAS Elite (SSIP)
CHAS is one of the UK's leading health and safety accreditation schemes and an SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) member. Our CHAS Elite status means our health, safety, compliance and business practices have been independently assessed against the Common Assessment Standard, which matters especially for commercial, school and public-sector work.
CHAS Certificate of Compliance
Our CHAS Standard Certificate of Compliance is issued to First Rate Roofing Services Ltd and confirms we are SSIP approved as a Principal Contractor and Contractor under CDM. It shows we meet the scheme's requirements for safe systems of work, risk management and legal compliance.
Fire Safety Training
Jack Harris holds a current Fire Safety Training Course certificate through be Accredited.com. Working safely with heat and hot works on roofs is a serious responsibility, and this training helps us manage those risks properly on every job.
