Expertise You Can Rely On

Certified and Qualified Surveyors Setting the Benchmark

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.

Surveyor
  • Nationally Certified Timber & Dampness Experts

    Our CSTDB accreditation guarantees top-tier diagnosis of timber and damp issues by exam-tested professionals.

  • Structural Waterproofing Certification & Expertise

    Our CSSW qualifications, ensuring reliable above- and below-ground waterproofing solutions.

  • Fylde Coast’s #1 Fully Qualified Team

    We’re staffed entirely by qualified surveyors and technicians, providing unmatched regional expertise, and highly rated by our customers.

Insurance-Backed Guarantees You Can Trust

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.

  • Comprehensive Workmanship & Materials Cover

    Our guarantees protect against defects in both installation and materials, giving you full-spectrum assurance.

  • Underwritten by QANW for Lasting Security

    Backed by Quality Assured National Warranties and PCA accreditation, you benefit from industry-leading financial underwriting.

  • Continuity If Contractors Cease to Trade

    Should your original installer retire or go out of business, the IBG steps in to fulfill any remedial obligations.

Peace of Mind

The PCA Promise

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.

Professional Standards and Protection

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.

Why Settle for Less?

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.

Professional from Damp Report to Final Plaster

Delighted with the service. RTC installed a damp proof course and replastering at my house. The damp survey was professional, detailed and very clear on the work to be done with good accompanying explanations of the issues. The office is easy to contact, answering all my calls and returning them promptly if the person I needed to speak to wasn’t immediately available. The technicians who performed the work were professional and worked fast and hard. They explained clearly all the steps and left the house clean every day. I am really please with the final finish and overall result. They were not the cheapest quote or survey I had, but at all steps were the most professional. Highly recommended.

Protected Home, Perfect Finish—Excellent Result

Originally recommended by my surveyor after discovering damp in 5 rooms. All the RTC staff were friendly and did a great job in minimising the dust and mess with protected sheeting and flooring throughout the house. The final result is excellent and a big call out to Steve for helping with moving a very heavy radiator and giving me tips on cauking. Highly recommend if you want a fairly priced job by hghly skilled employees and not subcontractors.

Transparent Pricing & Top-Notch Workmanship

From initial contact with the office, to the visit from the surveyor, the surveyors report which was very thorough as he actually went under the floors, the price for the work and the quality of the job itself was excellent. The surveyor Sam did an excellent job as was the repairs done by Dan and Karl. After the work was completed, I was contacted by the office to check that I was satisfied with work and the quality of the job, which I was. Professional all the way through with good customer service, made to feel I was important to their business. It’s an old adage but big enough to cope and small enough to care fits the bill. Would use again and would have no reservation about recommending them.
