PRC Certificate and PRC Homes Ltd

PRC Homes Ltd was set up as part of the NHBC to approve structural repairs to concrete PRC houses and keep a central register of PRC certificates issued to individual houses repaired for homeowners throughout the UK. About 20 years ago PRC Homes Ltd ceased trading and PRC certificates could no longer be registered with them or the NHBC. Today the approved PRC repair schemes are still used and accepted by high street mortgage lenders as long as they are supported with a PRC certificate.

A number of companies advertise a service for issuing retrospective PRC certificates and some of them have company names similar to PRC Homes Ltd, these companies should not be confused with PRC Homes Ltd who were a subsidiary of the NHBC. These companies offer a similar service to ours.

How many PRC Licensed Repair Schemes are there?

 PRC Houses Problems

About 25 years ago an Airey construction house caught fire and was gutted in minutes.  The Building Research Establishment (BRE) started an investigation of all the Prefabricated  Reinforced Concrete (PRC) houses as large numbers had been built after WW2 and subsequently sold under the Right to Buy scheme.  The result of this investigation was The Housing Defects Act of 1984 which led to a large number of prefabricated reinforced concrete (PRC) system built properties being designated as defective housing.
