Training is an important part of the construction industry, particularly if you are self-employed. Customers today expect to see paperwork and accreditations from respected training professionals are vital if we are to continue growing our businesses in new areas.
EPDM flat roofing is growing in popularity and is proving itself as a sustainable roofing material for the future. Although it is not a difficult material to apply, with a one-piece, cold adhesive application, completing a training course will only serve to put you in good stead with your customers.
Permaroof, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of Firestone EPDM flat roofing offer training days that deliver certification and addition to their approved contractor network. This is invaluable to roofing contractors in a modern world that expects high standards – and quite rightly so.
EPDM flat roofing training course in Derby
The one-day course is comprehensive, teaching all the tips and tricks to completing a professional finish and is run by Firestone-trained operatives.
Located in Derby, the training centre is new, being relocated from premises last May. Courses include all the necessary materials and offers a pack upon completion to facilitate demonstration to your potential clients who want EPDM flat roofing for projects.
Following the training course, the company also vet their members before accepting them onto the contractor network. This is a simple process of inspection, training and credit check, so not painful at all and a bonus for the client, as they can gain reassurance that we are who we say we are and do what we say we can do properly!
About EPDM
As you know, I am a great advocate of EPDM flat roofing membrane. It offers a weatherability that blows felt roofing away and has a lifespan of 50+ years, meaning it will outlast many flat roofs!
As we strive in our industry to provide better alternatives to the more traditional roof coverings for our clients, I feel that EPDM has what it takes to give us the edge over the competition. Today, I get asked more about green roofing than any other form of roofing and have used EPDM as the base membrane because of its waterproofing properties.
Membership of the roofing contractor network gives my customers an added reassurance that I am trained and qualified to carry out their work. This benefit alone is an invaluable tool in today’s society with many a rogue trader out there!
