Why CHAS Accreditation Matters When Choosing a Roofing Contractor

When it comes to hiring a roofing contractor, homeowners and commercial clients alike want to know they’re choosing someone reliable, professional, and committed to high standards—especially when safety and quality are involved. One of the easiest ways to identify a trustworthy contractor is by looking for CHAS accreditation.

But what exactly is CHAS, and why should it matter to you?

What Is CHAS Accreditation?

CHAS stands for Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme. It’s one of the UK’s leading health and safety accreditation schemes, widely recognised across construction and trade industries.

Contractors who are CHAS accredited have demonstrated that they meet robust health and safety standards, giving clients peace of mind that the work will be carried out professionally, responsibly, and in compliance with UK regulations.

Why CHAS Accreditation Is Important to You as a client?

Here are some key reasons why choosing a CHAS-accredited roofing contractor benefits you as the client:

✅ 1. Proven Commitment to Safety

Roofing is a high-risk trade. CHAS-accredited contractors have undergone a thorough assessment of their health and safety policies, procedures, and records. This ensures they operate safely—not just for their team, but for your property and everyone on-site.

Peace of mind: You’re hiring a contractor who takes safety seriously.

✅ 2. Professionalism and Accountability

CHAS accreditation is not just a tick-box exercise—it’s an ongoing commitment. Contractors must keep up-to-date with regulations and demonstrate that they’re following best practices year-round.

What this means for you: You can expect a higher level of professionalism, attention to detail, and accountability throughout the project.

✅ 3. Compliance with Legal Standards

If you're a business owner, facilities manager, or property developer, you’ll already know how important compliance is. Using a CHAS-accredited roofer can help you meet your own legal obligations, especially if you need to demonstrate due diligence in contractor selection.

Bonus: It can reduce paperwork and streamline risk assessments for commercial projects.

✅ 4. Increased Efficiency and Lower Risk of Delays

CHAS contractors are often more organised, with established systems in place for safety, communication, and project management. This reduces the chance of on-site incidents, legal hiccups, or delays caused by unsafe practices.

✅ 5. Recognised by Councils and Major Organisations

Many local councils, housing associations, and large contractors require CHAS accreditation for any subcontractors or vendors they work with. If you’re commissioning work on behalf of a larger organisation, hiring a CHAS-accredited roofer ensures you meet those criteria from the start.
