Roofer Apprenticeship

This Apprenticeship involves installing a range of roofing materials and products, at height. It includes interpreting drawings, measuring and calculating the required amount of materials. Roofing work can involve anything from repairing a single tile or slate on a domestic property, to re-roofing public buildings such as schools, working on new build housing projects, or installing the roof on large commercial buildings.

You will:

• Learn the principles of health, safety and welfare, employment law, and how these are applied in the workplace including how to work safely at height and use access equipment
• Understand how to calculate quantity, length, area and wastage of resources, including basic drawings and how to calculate material quantities from given information
• Be taught the principles relating to common defects, and the repair and maintenance of roofs
• Learn the characteristics, quality, uses, sustainability, limitations and defects associated with standard roofing products and components used in their own specialism and the general roofing industry

This Apprenticeship is ideal if you are practical, enjoy working outside and are happy to work at height.
