The PCA is the premier trade organisation of its type in Europe. To become a member, remedial treatment contractors must demonstrate a high level of competence by holding the nationally recognised CSRT or CSSW surveying qualifications and adhere to a strict code of ethics. In addition, a member company must be financially sound and have been trading for a minimum of three years.
The PCA was formerly known as the British Wood Preserving and Damp Proofing Association (BWPDA).
“The PCA Promise meets the criteria required by TrustMark .
Under the scheme, the Association gives blanket coverage to its contractor members, so they can offer a guarantee on behalf of the PCA to cover their customers for work in progress and deposits.
There is no additional cost to customers for the guarantee, which ensures that should any contractor member of the Association go out of business while work is being done, then another PCA contractor will complete the work to the original specification at no extra cost to the customer”.
PCA contractors are licensed under the government’s Trustmark scheme
