CPD Training Now Available

At Shield Preservation, we’re always looking for ways to share our expertise and help property professionals stay informed on the issues that matter most. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we now offer CPD (Continuing Professional Development) sessions on a wide range of topics relating to property care, preservation, and building health.

This week, we had the pleasure of delivering one of these CPD seminars to the team at Cushman & Wakefield, focusing on the crucial subjects of Fungal Decay and Beetle Infestation. The session was well attended and incredibly well received, sparking some valuable discussion around real-world issues that surveyors and property managers encounter every day.

Why CPD Matters in Our Industry

For professionals working in property, surveying, or building maintenance, staying up to date with current best practices is essential. Fungal decay – such as dry rot and wet rot – and beetle infestations like common furniture beetle or deathwatch beetle can cause serious structural damage if left unchecked. Recognising the early warning signs, understanding treatment options, and knowing when to call in specialists can make all the difference when protecting buildings, budgets, and reputations.

That’s where CPDs like ours come in.

Delivered by our experienced and qualified surveyors, these sessions are tailored to your team’s needs, packed with practical advice, case studies, and expert insight. Whether you’re a national real estate firm or a small practice, we can pitch the content at the right level – from introductory awareness to advanced diagnostic discussion.

What We Cover

Our CPD topics include (but are not limited to):

• Identifying and treating dry rot and wet rot

• Types of wood-boring beetles and their impact

• Damp ingress and moisture diagnostics

• Cavity wall tie corrosion

• Basement waterproofing principles

• Flood resilience and remedial repairs

Each seminar is informative, interactive, and delivered by one of our qualified CSRT or CSTDB surveyors. We provide supporting handouts and welcome Q&A to encourage deeper understanding and engagement.
