The Property Care Association (PCA), was a finalist in the Trade Association Forum’s Best Practice Awards 2009 - in the Best Website category - with its site http://www.property-
Based in Huntingdon, the PCA represents the UK’s structural waterproofing, wood preservation, damp-proofing, flood remediation and structural repair sectors.
The Association has developed an informative and easy to use website, with information about the trade body, its work and members.
Yasmin Chopin, PCA Executive Director, said: “We were delighted with the result.
“The site caters for anyone interested in property matters, from householders to property professionals and DIY enthusiasts to trained craftsmen.
“It also features on-line video content, a comprehensive list of the PCA’s training and events programme, an up-to-the-minute news section, and areas for homeowners, property professionals and PCA members.”
Details can also be accessed on the newly developed CPDs (Continual Professional Development courses) provided by the PCA and endorsed by RIBA (the Royal Institute of British Architects).
Another special feature of the website is the What Lies Beneath? microsite which focuses on the benefits a basement conversion can offer – bringing together a wealth of information within one easy-to-navigate web page.
The site can be accessed at http://www.property-

Notes to Editors
The Property Care Association (PCA) represents the UK’s structural waterproofing, wood preservation, damp-proofing, flood remediation and structural repair sectors.
It incorporates the British Wood Preserving and Damp-proofing Association (BWPDA), which has been in formation for more than 75 years.
The PCA is a member of TrustMark the scheme supported by the Government, to help property owners find reliable and trustworthy trades people to make home improvements.
Its contractor members are all carefully vetted before being awarded membership - and are then subject to rigorous auditing procedures once admitted to the Association.
As well as delivering a trusted repair procedure, PCA members are able to carry out specialist surveys as part of the house-buying procedure to identify potential problems – as well as a range of other services designed to preserve and protect homes and buildings across the UK.
