Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Roofing Occupations (Construction)

A work-based Diploma confirming competence in roof slating, tiling and approved specialist roofing pathways.

Overview

The Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Roofing Occupations (Construction) is a competence-based qualification for people carrying out roofing work in genuine workplace conditions. Its official designation is a Diploma.

The qualification confirms that a roofing operative can interpret drawings, specifications and work instructions; organise materials and equipment; work safely at height; and complete roofing activities to the required technical and quality standards.

Depending on the selected pathway, practical work may include installing pitched-roof underlays and battens, fixing natural slates or roof tiles, forming weatherings, working with fully supported sheet metals, preparing and applying thatch, maintaining roof coverings or supporting the installation of roof-mounted solar collectors.

The qualification is assessed through the learner’s normal occupational activities. It therefore confirms applied workplace competence rather than knowledge gained solely through classroom study.

Employers can use the qualification as evidence that a worker has demonstrated relevant roofing skills, technical knowledge, safe working practices and consistent performance against recognised occupational standards.

More than one approved version is currently available. Their occupational purpose is compatible, but their pathway coverage differs. Some versions concentrate on roof tiling, roof slating and the combined slater-and-tiler occupation. Other versions provide additional routes for thatching, fully supported lead and hard metal roofing, solar-collector roofing or heritage work. Earlier predecessor qualifications and superseded unit sets have been withdrawn or replaced.

Qualification structures, unit wording and assessment requirements may vary slightly depending on the approved awarding organisation.

Who It’s For

This qualification is primarily intended for roofing operatives who are already undertaking the activities required by their selected occupational pathway. It suits workers who complete routine roofing assignments competently, normally with limited supervision, while working to drawings, specifications, method statements and organisational procedures.

Relevant occupations can include:

Roof tilers installing plain and single-lap tile coverings.
Roof slaters installing natural slate to standard roof details.
Operatives working across both roof slating and tiling.
Thatchers preparing roof structures and fixing thatching materials.
Fully supported lead or hard metal roofers and cladders.
Roofing operatives providing access, protection or handover support for solar-collector installation.
Heritage roofing operatives where a corresponding pathway remains available.

Learners need access to suitable roofs, materials, fixings, tools, access systems and work activities. These may be provided through employment, self-employment, subcontracting or another genuine arrangement that gives the assessor sufficient access to the learner’s normal work.

The chosen pathway must reflect the learner’s real occupation. Someone working only with tiles, for example, would not normally have the occupational opportunities required to complete a slating, thatching, solar or metal-roofing pathway.

Pathways and Specialisms

The qualification is divided into occupational pathways so that assessment reflects the type of roofing work the learner actually performs. Availability varies between approved versions and centres, so learners should confirm the exact pathway before registration.

Roof Tiler

This pathway covers the preparation and installation of tiled roof coverings. Typical work includes fixing underlay and battens, installing pre-formed weatherings, laying single-lap tiles to a variable gauge and installing plain tile coverings.

Roof Slater

The roof-slater pathway concentrates on natural slate roofing. It includes roof preparation, underlay and battens, weathering flashings and the installation of regular-sized natural slates to standard roof details.

Roof Slater and Tiler

This combined pathway is for operatives who regularly work with natural slate and roof tiles. It brings together the principal installation activities from the separate slating and tiling routes.

Fully Supported Lead and Hard Metal Roofer and Cladder

Available in some approved versions, this pathway covers the preparation and installation of fully supported lead or other specified hard metals. Work can include roofing, vertical cladding, joints, weatherings, gutters and the repair or maintenance of existing coverings.

Thatching

This pathway is for operatives who prepare roof structures, select and prepare suitable thatching materials and install thatched roof coverings. It also includes the access arrangements required for this specialist activity.

Solar Collector Roofer – Access

This specialist pathway concerns roofing work that enables safe access for solar-collector installation. It combines the maintenance of slate or tile roofs with solar-collector installation activities and a required choice involving access platforms or fall-protection systems.

It does not by itself authorise a learner to undertake electrical connections, plumbing connections or other work reserved for appropriately qualified trades.

Solar Collector Roofer – Protection and Handover

This pathway addresses roofing work associated with protecting the work area, maintaining existing roof coverings, installing solar collectors and completing protection or handover activities. A pathway-specific choice may be required between work-area protection and formal site-completion duties.

Heritage Roof Tiler

Where offered, this route combines standard tile-roofing competence with the replacement, repair and maintenance of heritage coverings. It requires work on roofs where traditional materials, regional details and conservation requirements must be preserved.

Heritage Roof Slater

This specialist route combines natural-slate installation with heritage replacement and repair. Evidence must reflect the handling, selection and use of traditional or reclaimed materials in appropriate heritage settings.

Heritage Roof Slater and Tiler

This pathway is for operatives competent in both heritage slating and heritage tiling. It includes the standard slating and tiling activities together with the careful replacement, repair and maintenance of historic roof coverings.

Heritage Fully Supported Lead and Hard Metal Roofer and Cladder

Available only in certain approved structures, this pathway covers standard lead and hard metal roofing together with decorative and heritage installation techniques. It can involve complex weatherings, ornamental features and the preservation of traditional metalworking details.

Workplace Requirements

Substantial workplace access is essential because the qualification assesses what the learner can do during real roofing operations.

The learner will normally require opportunities to:

Work on suitable pitched, vertical, low-pitched or fully supported roof areas relevant to the pathway.
Interpret drawings, specifications, schedules, risk assessments, method statements and manufacturers’ instructions.
Use properly selected access equipment, collective protection and personal fall-protection systems.
Inspect roof structures, substrates and interfaces before installation.
Select, calculate and prepare the required roofing materials, components and fixings.
Use and maintain appropriate hand tools, portable power tools and ancillary equipment.
Complete relevant roof details such as eaves, verges, ridges, hips, valleys, openings, penetrations and abutments.
Protect finished and partially completed work from damage and adverse weather.
Segregate, store, reclaim or dispose of waste and removed materials correctly.
Communicate with supervisors, clients, other roofing operatives and connected trades.
Produce work products and records that can be authenticated by an assessor.

The required materials and activities depend on the selected pathway. A thatching learner needs access to roof structures and suitable thatching materials, while a metal roofer needs appropriate substrates, sheet metals, forming tools and jointing opportunities.

Photographs, videos and records can support assessment, but they do not remove the need to demonstrate the principal occupational skills in the workplace.

Learning Outcomes

Successful learners will be able to:

Interpret roofing drawings, specifications, schedules, work instructions and manufacturers’ information.
Identify unsuitable information, defective resources or unsafe conditions and report them through the correct procedures.
Plan and sequence roofing work in coordination with access arrangements, other trades and the work programme.
Select roofing materials, components, fixings, tools and equipment in the required quantities and quality.
Calculate quantities, lengths, areas, gauges and expected wastage relevant to the selected pathway.
Apply safe systems of work for manual handling, work at height, cutting, fixing, storage and material use.

Units

Most current structures contain three shared competence areas covering health and safety, productive working and resource handling. Learners then complete the units assigned to their occupational pathway. Solar routes can include a choice between pathway-specific access, protection or handover units.

Some approved versions also permit additional elective units. These may broaden the learner’s recorded competence without contributing to the minimum pathway requirements. Heritage and other specialist units are not available in every version.

Assessment

Assessment establishes whether the learner can perform the relevant roofing activities consistently in genuine workplace conditions. The learner must satisfy every learning outcome and assessment criterion required by the selected pathway, including any required endorsements or optional-unit choices.

Workplace Observation

An occupationally competent assessor observes the learner completing relevant roofing operations. Observation should show the full working process wherever practicable, including preparation, safe access, setting out, installation, quality checks and completion.

A single brief observation will not normally demonstrate consistent competence. Evidence should cover a suitable range of work and show that the learner can maintain the required standard over time.

Portfolio Evidence

The learner compiles an authenticated portfolio linking workplace evidence to the required units. Relevant evidence may include:

Photographs or videos showing roof preparation, installation details and completed work.
Drawings, specifications, schedules and job instructions used by the learner.
Risk assessments, method statements and access plans.
Delivery records and material schedules.
Gauge calculations, setting-out records and measurements.
Job sheets, work diaries, timesheets and completion records.
Records of defects, variations or material shortages.
Handover documents and customer correspondence.
Examples of installed slating, tiling, thatching, metal roofing or solar weathering details.

Downloaded guidance or blank workplace documents are not normally sufficient unless accompanied by evidence showing how the learner understood and applied them.

Professional Discussion and Questioning

Professional discussion and oral or written questioning confirm technical knowledge that is not fully visible during observation.

Questions may address:

Roofing-material characteristics and compatibility.
Batten gauges, laps, fixing patterns and weathering principles.
Ventilation, condensation and fire-barrier requirements.
Work-at-height controls and access arrangements.
Material calculations and wastage.
Defect identification and reporting procedures.
Protection of roof structures and adjacent property.
Coordination with other trades.
Environmental controls and responsible waste handling.

Knowledge evidence supports practical evidence but does not replace the need to demonstrate occupational performance.

Witness Testimony and Work Products

Statements from competent supervisors, experienced tradespeople or clients may support evidence when they have directly observed the learner’s work. The assessor remains responsible for confirming the witness’s credibility and the relevance of the testimony.

Completed roof areas, flashings, metalwork, prepared thatching materials, reclaimed coverings and handover records can provide valuable product evidence when they can be authenticated as the learner’s own work.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Relevant previous learning or workplace evidence may be considered when it is authentic, current and sufficient to demonstrate present competence. The assessor may use observation, discussion or questioning to confirm that earlier evidence still represents the learner’s current ability.

Simulation Restrictions

The primary roofing skills must be evidenced through actual workplace performance. Simulation is generally not acceptable as a substitute for installing, repairing or maintaining roof coverings.

Limited simulation may be considered for exceptional matters that cannot safely or reasonably be allowed to occur naturally, such as certain emergency responses. It must be permitted by the applicable assessment requirements and approved through the qualification’s quality-assurance arrangements.

Career Progression

Completion can support continued employment and development within the learner’s assessed roofing occupation. Progression depends on the pathway achieved, the worker’s experience and any additional technical, supervisory or legal requirements.

Skilled Roofing Roles

Relevant roles can include:

Roof tiler.
Roof slater.
Roof slater and tiler.
Thatcher.
Fully supported lead or hard metal roofer.
Leadworker or metal roof cladder.
Solar-collector roofing operative within the assessed scope.
Heritage roofing operative where the corresponding pathway has been completed.

The qualification does not authorise electrical, gas, plumbing, structural-design or conservation decisions that require separate competence or approval.

Advanced Craft Development

Experienced slaters and tilers may progress to a Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Roofing Occupations where they undertake more complex roofing work.

Heritage workers may consider a relevant Level 3 heritage-skills qualification in roof slating and tiling, thatching or fully supported lead and hard metal roofing. Availability and suitability depend on the learner’s actual heritage responsibilities.

Supervision and Management

Roofers who take responsibility for organising teams, monitoring work, coordinating resources and maintaining site standards may progress towards an occupational work-supervision qualification.

Further development can lead to construction site supervision or management qualifications when the learner’s role provides the necessary level of responsibility. Completion of this Diploma alone does not demonstrate supervisory or management competence.

CSCS Card

Specific pathways have an officially mapped route to the Blue Skilled Worker CSCS card. Current mappings include Roof Tiler, Roof Slater, Roof Slater and Tiler, and Thatching occupations completed through the corresponding Level 2 NVQ Diploma pathway.

The qualification supports an application; it does not automatically issue or guarantee a card. The applicant must make a separate application and meet the card scheme’s current identity, qualification and evidence requirements.

Mapped roofing occupations require the CITB Health, Safety and Environment Specialist Work at Height test. The test must have been passed within the period accepted by the card scheme when the application is made.

Specialist metal-roofing, solar-collector and heritage routes can use different occupational wording or card requirements. Learners should not assume that every pathway leads to the same card or occupation.

Applicants should check the current occupation, pathway, card type and test through the official Card Finder before applying.

FAQs

The following questions address the main practical and structural uncertainties associated with this roofing qualification.

It is officially a Level 2 NVQ Diploma. The word “Diploma” should be retained when the qualification is described.

No. Learners complete the shared workplace units and the units required by their selected occupational pathway. A roof slater, roof tiler, thatcher and metal roofer will therefore present substantially different practical evidence.

Yes, provided a current Roof Tiler pathway is available and your work gives you access to all its required activities. You would not need to demonstrate natural-slating, thatching or metal-roofing competence unless it formed part of your registered pathway.

Yes. The qualification is based on workplace competence. You need genuine opportunities to prepare, install, repair or maintain the roof systems required by your pathway while working with appropriate access equipment, materials and safety controls.

Normally, no. The main roofing performance evidence must come from real workplace activities. A centre exercise cannot automatically be treated as equivalent to occupational performance. Limited simulation is reserved for exceptional circumstances allowed by the assessment requirements.

No. Heritage routes are available only within certain approved structures and through centres authorised to offer them. Learners should confirm the exact heritage pathway and unit combination before registration.

No. The pathway assesses roofing activities associated with installing and weathering roof-mounted collectors. Electrical connections, plumbing work and other regulated activities must be completed by people who hold the appropriate separate competence.

The officially mapped Roof Tiler, Roof Slater, Roof Slater and Tiler, and Thatching occupations require the Specialist Work at Height Health, Safety and Environment test. Current requirements should be checked through the official Card Finder before applying.
