PCA News: Lawyers to update damp and timber contact details
August 17, 2009
Legal professional in Scotland are being asked to update their records relating to damp and timber enquires over protection and preservation within buildings.
The Property Care Association (PCA), which represents the UK's damp proofing, wood preservation, basement waterproofing and structural repair sectors, took over the former British Wood Preserving and Damp proofing Association (BWPDA) in 2006, and has since been a standalone association representing the damp and timber industry.
It still incorporates the BWPDA, but specification and enquires should now be directed to the PCA.
Yasmin Chopin, executive director of the PCA said: "Property professionals in the legal sector have for many years contacted the BWPDA for advice on damp and related matters.
"We still find that enquires come to us in the name of the BWPDA, and would urge people to come directly to the PCA."
As well as delivering a trusted repair procedure, PCA Members such as Wise Property Care, are able to carry out specialist surveys as part of the house buying procedure to identify potential damp and timber problems, as well as a range of other services.
