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.

Left before.................Right after

 

 

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. If these are not installed to the correct legal requirement you will be forced to change your current system by the year 2010. 80% of the properties we work on either have not fosse or the existing does not comply to French law. We take care of the whole process from obtaining the relavent permisions to the actual installation of the correct system for you property.

Above is one of the basic required layout for a fosse touts eau system.

1. grease trap
2. tank
5. breather pipe
6. gas vent pipe
10. lower sand filter bed
11. upper filter bed

The illustrasion below showes the basic fabrication for the fosse tank, which can be obtained in 3000Litre, 4000L 5000L for the majority of homes and bigger in extreme circumstances. The size of the tank and filterbed is determined by the soil test which can be obtained by us or yourseves prior to the application with the local Mairies office being passed.
