MEMBERSHIP - Becoming a Member

Full Membership

 

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/individuals engaged in wall tie work. The Certitude of membership together with 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 the Federation and gives the property owner peace of mind for 25 years.

​

The Member's register is published on this site from which prospective customers can select registered installers for work. Installers report helpful 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 and safety, vocational qualifications etc. The Federation is recognised in most technological channels including, of course, the internet. To find us just enter the phrase 'wall tie installers' into the Google search engine and you will come across our website. The warranties that we issue are widely recognised by local authorities, housing associations and mortgage lenders. Furthermore, the recognition we are proud to hold, transfers readily to registered installers who make full use of the Federation's logo and promotional literature.

 

Installers wishing to join and become Full members of the Federation should contact the Federation's Head Office to obtain and complete two forms:

• A Membership application

• An Insurance application

 

These, once completed, should be forwarded to our head office at Heald House, Head Street, Liverpool L19 2LY together with the Federation's application fee and any other requested documentation. An Initial assessment of the application will be made and the applicant contacted by a member of our management team.

 

After this an inspection appointment or appropriate training course(s) may need to be arranged and successfully completed during the application process which is subject to continuous assessment during it and afterwards. All members are subject to regular visits / inspections to ensure that they continue to meet the Wall Tie Installers Federation quality standards and continued membership is subject to maintaining these standards.

 

Finally, we encourage installers to make use of our logo in their promotional material and on their vehicles  (purpose bromides and van decals are available).
