Renewal pipeline
Licences with an expiry date inside each window, counted from the board file. A licence that has already lapsed or been suspended is excluded, so these are people who currently hold a valid licence and have a renewal coming.
New roofing contractors per year
How many roofing contractors currently on the register were first issued in each year. Older years thin out as licences lapse and drop off the file, so read this as the surviving cohort, not as the number issued at the time.
| Year | Roofing Contractors issued | |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 191 | |
| 2021 | 222 | |
| 2022 | 280 | |
| 2023 | 301 | |
| 2024 | 403 | |
| 2025 | 471 | |
| 2026 | 377 |
