A large number of properties in France have been untouched for 30 or more years, with no mains water or phone lines. Many still have mud floors and rotting timbers. D.P.S has successfully modernizes many of this style property, bringing them back to their true beauty.
When buying any property a little vision can sway your decision. D.P.S can
bring that vision to reality, no matter what the present
condition of the property.
A little care for the outside of a
home can make a big difference.
As you can see from the photos.

Corrugated
tin roofs are widely noticeable in Normandy. Most were installed just after
the second world war, so after 60 years the majority have heavy corrosion
and leaks. D.P.S transforms these roofs into a water tight and secure structure,
which completely changes the look of any home.
We offer a large range of re-roofing methods.
We can install
dormer windows,
flat roof windows,plastic or zinc
guttering, various types of ridge
and
gable covers. We take care
with all of
the required timber work
a new roof
would need.
All the materials we use
are of a high standard and come with
the compulsory 10 year guarantee
We give complete
package to a high
standard at a very competitive rate.
The interior
of your home is just as important as the exterior. New ground floor floors
can make your home a lot more desirable, in appearance and warmth. We install
fully insulated concrete floors to the same specifications a British property
would have as standard.
We install timber and concrete upstairs floor to give you the option of
extra room space upstairs. Concrete floors give the extra strength to tie
you property walls together, which with a few of the old French properties
can solve a lot of problems with structural strength
We install a ride range of quality stairs to fit into the requirement of
your home and budget. In a lot of properties spiral stair cases can fit
where conventional stairs will not. We can install off the shelf stairs
or arrange for custom made.
We offer all the jobs you would require to get your property up to a modern
day standards, inside and out.
The new fosse touts eau (septic tank) waste systems are one of the most important items you may have installed, as they take care of all your house hold toilet sink and kichen waste.

We take care of the whole process from obtaining the relavent permisions to the actual installation of the correct system for you property.
