TrustMark-accredited, Which? Trusted Trader and PCA members—your assurance of elite professionalism.
From the first call to the final walk-through, we deliver a seamless experience—and if we ever fall short, we make it right without delay.
Our full suite of treatments—from above-ground waterproofing to concrete and structural repairs—ensures your building is protected inside and out.
We partner with both homeowners and businesses, offering bespoke advice, technical support and solutions that stand the test of time.
Committed to the environment, we use only the safest, most advanced materials and eco-friendly methods to safeguard both your property and the planet.
At RTC, our team comprises fully qualified surveyors certified in timber, dampness, and structural waterproofing. These nationally recognised credentials—CSTDB and CSSW—represent the highest benchmarks in remedial treatment surveying. As Associates of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, we uphold rigorous professional standards that distinguish us in the industry. Serving the Fylde Coast, we provide independent surveys and reports trusted by discerning professionals.
Our CSTDB accreditation guarantees top-tier diagnosis of timber and damp issues by exam-tested professionals.
Our CSSW qualifications, ensuring reliable above- and below-ground waterproofing solutions.
We’re staffed entirely by qualified surveyors and technicians, providing unmatched regional expertise, and highly rated by our customers.
All our guarantees cover both workmanship and materials and transfer automatically to each new owner for the balance of the guarantee period. As PCA members, we partner with Quality Assured National Warranties (QANW) to offer long-term insurance-backed guarantees tailored to the home improvement and construction industries. These IBGs ensure that if your installing contractor ceases trading—due to retirement, illness or other reasons—your remedial claims will still be honored.
Our guarantees protect against defects in both installation and materials, giving you full-spectrum assurance.
Backed by Quality Assured National Warranties and PCA accreditation, you benefit from industry-leading financial underwriting.
Should your original installer retire or go out of business, the IBG steps in to fulfill any remedial obligations.
Thanks to the Property Care Association (PCA), clients of RTC have an extra level of peace of mind due to the PCA guarantee scheme, ‘The PCA Promise’. This is a warranty which covers timber treatment and damp-proofing works, as well as structural waterproofing and remedial wall ties.
Under the warranty, the PCA gives coverage to its members so that we can offer a guarantee on behalf of the PCA to cover clients for work in progress and deposits.
This insures that should the unthinkable happen and RTC cease to exist, another PCA contractor will complete the work to the original specification – at no extra cost.
The PCA Promise acts as another level of reassurance for our clients and provides total peace of mind that we care not just for property, but for our clients as well.
At RTC, we believe you deserve the highest level of consumer protection. That’s why we carry industry-specific Professional Indemnity, Public and Employers Liability, and Product Guarantee Insurance. Combined with the PCA Promise and QANW guarantees, this means all advice we provide and contracts we carry out are fully protected for your peace of mind.
If other companies can’t match this level of protection, don’t have fully qualified surveyors and technicians, or aren’t PCA members and TrustMark approved — it’s worth asking why not. And just so you know, RTC is proud to be the first preservation company on the Fylde Coast to become a Which? Trusted Trader.
Here at RTC we are committed to providing a high-quality service to our clients. When something goes wrong, we need you to tell us about it to help us improve future clients experience and the standards which we provide.
