Fernco joins the IPFRA

Fernco has become an official member of the International Property Flood Resilience Association (IPFRA), reinforcing its long-standing commitment to supporting builders’ merchants nationwide.

The IPFRA mission is to represent the Property Flood Resilience industry – including manufacturers, installers, distributors, surveyors, consultants, and sector stakeholders with a shared mission to promote practice, raise professional standards and to work collaboratively to support mainstreaming of property flood resilience.

A key focus of Fernco’s IPFRA membership is supporting builders’ merchants as a critical access point for flood resilience products. By strengthening product knowledge, technical understanding and confidence at branch level, Fernco aims to help merchants supply appropriate solutions for both commercial and domestic applications, supporting proactive protection rather than reactive repair.

National sales and Fernco marketing manager Ryan Lockwood explains “Builders’ merchants play a vital role in protecting communities,”  . “By joining the IPFRA, we are strengthening our commitment to supporting merchants with practical flood resilience solutions, underpinned by recognised standards, education and industry collaboration. Our objective is to help make flood prevention products more accessible, better understood and more widely available through the merchant channel.”
