The National Association of Estate Agents and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors advise that when looking for a remedial company you should make sure it is a member of the PCA (formerly the British Wood Preserving and Damp-proofing Association). Ideally it should also be a member of the Guarantee Protection Insurance which insures the work.
