WALL TIE INSTALLERS FEDERATION

Becoming Registered

Installers join the Register after an inspection of their work and premises by a member of our management team. Registered Installers subscribe to a Code of Practice based on BRE Digests 329 and 401 and the Federation's own rules.

Becoming a WTIF Registered Installer confers significant benefits on companies engaged in wall tie work. The fact of membership and adherence to BRE standards offers reassurance to prospective customers on the quality of work. The availability of the WTIF Warranty on completed work provides long-term security on work which, by its nature, is not visible to the customer.

The warranty is issued jointly by the member and by the Federation; in the unlikely event of a claim the policy indemnifies the member against the cost of reinstatement or the Federation if the member is no longer trading as a member of the Federation.

The Register is published on the WTIF website www.wtif.org.uk from which prospective customers can select registered installers for work. Installers report useful volumes of work from this source whilst the web presence also reassures customers about the bona fides of installers who might otherwise be just a name in a directory.

In addition to these benefits Registered Installers are also represented at national level in matters such as Health & Safety, Vocational Qualifications and the like. The Federation is recognised everywhere including the Web: just type "wall tie installers" into Google and the first site is wtif.org.uk. Our Warranty is widely recognised by local authorities, housing associations and mortgage lenders.

This recognition transfers readily to Registered Installers who make full use of the Federation's logo and promotional literature.

Becoming a registered Installer is, for appropriately qualified companies willing to adopt the Federation code of practice, very straightforward. Aspiring installers complete two forms: a Membership Application and an Insurance Application and forward these to our head office at Heald House. An inspection appointment is arranged (for which a fee is charged) and successful applicants are immediately entered onto the Register.

We encourage Installers to make use of our logo in their promotional material and on their vehicles for which purpose bromides and van decals are supplied.
