We only make realistic plans, ensuring that we finish on time at the agreed price, leaving site clean and tidy. You will see stories relating to Sub Contractors of firms not turning up on time, leaving mess and poor workmanship. DPA members never Sub Contract and always conduct themselves in an ethical and professional manner. 

All DPA members provide the highest possible standard in technical content using analytical and electronic equipment to provide our home buyers reports. Our reports are accepted by all lenders across the Country, all work comes with a 30 years underwritten Guarantee unlike many other contractors who can only provide a 10 or 20 year guarantee. In most cases our reports are free.  

We are always on hand to support you throughout the project, our members only employ fully qualified tradesmen of the highest standards to deliver quality products and services. As DPA members, Surveyors are required to provide a detailed schedule of works or repair to their technicians therefore, everyone knows exactly what is require and where this is very important to provide a high quality and exact service.   

All DPA Surveyors are trained and Qualified to the highest standards possible, and don’t simply rely on “damp meters” but use sophisticated techniques such as Calcium Carbide testing and thermal imaging as well as analytical methods to determine Chloride and Sulphate contents of substrate. All members are qualified to, or aiming for, the University recognised Graduate Diploma in Remedial Treatments Grad.Dip.RT equivalent to NVQ 4 level and substantially technically demanding rather than a “tick the box” qualification generally offered in this industry.    

DPA members have teams of development experts who can construct new buildings or convert damp basements into lovely dry living spaces. Our members have been involved in projects at London’s Heathrow airport involving structural water proofing of vast storage spaces costing hundreds of thousands of pounds the lead contractor insisting on DPA members only who can provide a fully underwritten 30 year guarantee for their works. 

DPA members deliver in terms of quality finish there is no sub-contracting so common with local competitors who often replace quality with profit. All DPA technicians have undertaken extensive courses in damp proofing and structural water proofing techniques and finishes. They have a full technical understanding of what is required and how to achieve that goal.
