The British Wood Preserving and Damp-proofing Association (BWPDA) has formed two new divisions for its members,
The Property Care Association is at the heart of remedial work including woodworm, wood rot, damp, wall-tie repairs and structural waterproofing and its members must abide by recognised industry Codes of Practice.
The Wood Protection Association encompasses BWPDA members who manufacture and supply preservatives and fire retardants and those who treat timber in industrial treatment plants.
BWPDA director Chris Coggins said the new structure will focus support for members in the markets they are operating in and will facilitate the delivery of appropriate information and advice to member’s clients, the public and professionals in those markets.
