Celebrating Professional Excellence: Sarah Hankinson and Eddie Faizey Achieve CSTDB Accreditation
We’re delighted to share some fantastic news from the Shield team.
Congratulations to Sarah Hankinson CSTDB and Eddie Faizey, who have both successfully passed and are now Certified Surveyors of Timber, Dampness and Buildings (CSTDB) through the Property Care Association (PCA).
What the CSTDB Qualification Means
The CSTDB qualification is one of the most respected accreditations in the property care industry. It demonstrates a high level of technical knowledge and practical competence across key areas including:
- Damp diagnosis and remediation
- Timber defects and decay
- Structural and building pathology
- Best practice in property preservation and waterproofing
Achieving CSTDB status requires extensive study, hands-on experience, and the ability to apply professional judgement to real-world building issues. It is not an easy qualification — and that’s exactly why it carries such weight.
A Commitment to the Highest Standards
Sarah and Eddie’s success reflects not only their individual dedication, but also Shield’s ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest professional standards across all areas of our work.
Accreditations like CSTDB help ensure that our surveys are accurate, our recommendations are appropriate, and our clients receive clear, honest advice based on proven expertise rather than assumptions.
Investing in Expertise for Our Clients
At Shield, we believe that investing in training and professional development directly benefits our clients. Having CSTDB-qualified surveyors within our team means:
- Greater confidence in diagnoses
- More robust, evidence-based reports
- Solutions tailored to the true cause of the problem — not just the symptoms
Whether we’re carrying out damp surveys, timber inspections, or advising on waterproofing solutions, qualifications like CSTDB underpin the quality and reliability of our service.
Well Done Sarah and Eddie
This is a thoroughly well-earned achievement, and we’re incredibly proud of both Sarah and Eddie for reaching this milestone.
Congratulations to you both — a fantastic professional accomplishment and a real asset to the Shield team.
