The Bitumen Flat Roofing Association (BFRA) is bringing the sector together for its first industry networking event, taking place in London on Wednesday 21 October 2026.
The free event will provide an opportunity for BFRA members, non-members and guests to meet, network and find out more about the association and its plans for the future.
We’re pleased to announce we have become a supporter of the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI), reinforcing our commitment to raising standards across the roofing and wider construction industry.
We’re excited to be planning our first BFRA networking event for BFRA members and non-members!
More details, including the venue, agenda and how to book your place, will be announced soon.
For now, save the date Wednesday 21 October 2026 in London.
The BFRA is looking for a Technical Vice Chair to support our Technical
Committee and help shape the future of the bituminous roofing industry.
Reinforced bitumen membranes (RBM) remain the dominant waterproofing system in the UK, accounting for more than 50 per cent of the market by installed area. Within a sector valued at approximately £670 million annually, bitumen continues to play a vital role across both new build and refurbishment projects.
The Bitumen Flat Roofing Association (BFRA) has opened membership for 2026–2027, inviting organisations from across the reinforced bitumen membrane (RBM) sector to get involved and help shape the future of flat roofing.
When the Bitumen Flat Roofing Association (BFRA) launched in early 2025, it was in response to a clear and longstanding gap in the industry. Despite the dominance of bitumen, which represents approximately 50 per cent of the UK flat roofing market, there was no single dedicated body championing reinforced bitumen membranes (RBM).
