Some organisations are content to take a subscription from their membership and simply provide another "badge" on the letterhead. However, the FTMRC was developed as an organisation to act on behalf of its members in establishing and then raising quality standards in metal roof design, specification, installation and develop the industry standards Guide to Good Practice.
Formed in late 2006 the FTMRC now comprises of the industry leading specialist contractors committed to providing quality craftsmanship for their clients, supported by premier related industry associate members supplying materials and ancillary services. The new, much extended Guide to Good Practice provides a comprehensive reference document for the design, specification and installation of traditional metal roofing and cladding.
Fully underwritten insurance backed warranty for traditional hard metal roofing and cladding installations. Flexibility to cover the full range of installer involvement from the provision of full envelope build-ups to metal workmanship only.

The issue of guarantee and insurance-backed warranty has long been one raised by architects, main contractors and building owners.
While manufacturers provide a material-only guarantee, the installer is left to offer the client the comfort that the project will be a success and he will be there if anything goes wrong.
The industry has called for a formalised insurance-backed scheme and this is now available through the FTMRC.

One of the principle objectives of the Federation of Traditional Roofing Contractors is to improve the workmanship standards of installation and widen the technical design knowledge necessary to protect the integrity of an installation.
Manufacturers publish recommendations for their own product, but these individually-prepared guidance notes vary in content and detail, due in no small part to the varying countries of origin in which they are produced.
The FTMRC was, therefore, determined to collate and publish a comprehensive technical Guide to Good Practice, which was first published in 2007.

The rapid growth for roofing and cladding in traditional hard metals has seen an increasing number of building designs incorporating zinc, stainless steel, aluminium and copper.
Whilst welcomed by a resurgent UK construction industry, this increasing demand has exposed an alarming skills gap in those taking on the responsibility for design and installation in traditional metal roofing.
As a result, general roofing and cladding contractors with little or no knowledge or experience of traditional metal roofing techniques have been attracted by the increasing demand for installers, and this alarming trend has been damaging the industry.

An opportunity for professionals to gain technical knowledge of the traditional metal roofing industry.
The FTMRC has built a sound contractor base of skilled and knowledgeable specialists and in the process has developed a number of training programmes through which the practical skills and design theory of traditional metal roofing and cladding can be learned.
These programmes can also be customised to suit individual needs by candidates being profiled by an experienced and qualified assessor.
