OUTSTANDING
Darren installed a new floor in our bathroom. The job was complicated by the fact that the old flooring was not entirely even. It was necessary completely to take out all the old tiles, temporarily remove the toilet, and then lay a flat new base. Darren then installed a new wood-effect floor with appropriate trim. His approach to the work was meticulous and his workmanship was outstanding. I would unhesitatingly recommend Darren and his company for any home improvement job.

Bathroom refresh
Darren was brilliant and went above and beyond with his service and time commitment. He refreshed the bathroom boxing, flooring and replaced broken tiles. I have previously used Darren for broken guttering and would definitely recommend for any homework needed.

Brilliant response to urgently repair conservatory roof
Late one afternoon we were cleaning our conservatory and discovered a large gap alongside one of the polycarbonate roof panels. We contacted DPF Property Services and Darren was able to attend at short notice and out of hours to repair our conservatory roof. It transpired that one of the panels had slipped down out of position creating the gap and with rain expected imminently, we were so grateful for this being fixed urgently. This is brilliant service and gave us peace of mind. Thank you.

Good Service
We had a leak at the waste outlet of our shower. We phoned DPF Property Services early in the morning and were delighted when Darren said he could call and look at the problem that very morning! He found the cause of the leak very quickly and was able to re-seal it there and then. Impressive service and at a reasonable cost. Apparently DPF can deal with all aspects of Home Maintenance, so a useful phone number to have handy! Definitely 5-star service.

Another great job
Having successfully resolved our blocked kitchen drain from the sink a few months ago, we followed Darren's recommendation for an upgrade to the sink waste trap and immediate drainage from the kitchen sink, so for a very reasonable price we now have a nice simple layout making any future issues much easier to deal with. We're really pleased with the outcome and as ever Darren was highly professional and attentive. Thanks again.

Toilet leak
A few days ago we noticed a slow leak from a toilet but were unable to find its origin. We have recently moved to this locality and didn’t know of a reliable plumber. We had found plumbers problematic where we lived before as most were not interested in small maintenance jobs. We found Darren”s firm on the “Which list”, rang and left a message. He rang back almost immediately and arranged to call that afternoon to diagnose and quote. He found that the washer between the cistern and toilet was failing and said that he could do the job the next afternoon. He arrived, did the job and left the bathroom clean and tidy. He is a pleasant comfortable person to have in the house.

Leaking sink piping
Excellent, fast and professional work carried out to repair my leaking sink. Darren was quick to respond and has done an excellent job in repairing my leak. After explaining I have no water in the house due to the size of the leak Darren was quick to arrange his diary so he could come quickly to me. Clean and tidy work, I would 100% recommend, also for future jobs more than happy to have him completing future fixes or home improvements.

Great quality work
Darren had done an out of hours visit (without charging extra) to identify the source of a leak from the bathroom. A return visit to repair the damaged tiling and surfaces, and replace the bathtap, was organised promptly. The work was carried out with great care and a full explanation of everything done was provided. Darren is fastidious about his work and we couldn't fault any aspect of the job. I haven't found a plumber this good to date and we wouldn't consider using anyone else in the future. Darren is also a personable intelligent guy running a good business and he is clearly going to do very well with it!

OUTSTANDING WORK REPLACING A SHOWER ROOM
Darren had gutted and replaced our main bathroom last year. We were very happy with the result and asked him to refit our separate shower room. This developed into a major undertaking involving replacing structural joists, levelling the floor, re-plastering the walls and ceiling as well as removing tiles and fitting the furniture. We have had many builders and plumbers in our property over the years. Darren is simply the very best. He has high standards and the experience and skills to tackle an enormous range of building works. These include plumbing, carpentry, bricklaying and decorating. He is very bright and an excellent problem solver. He is able to manage a project effectively and is an excellent administrator and communicator. The quality of his work is such that potential customers sometimes need to book him well in advance. But if you want a job doing properly then it is more that worth the wait.

Kitchen sink drainage blockage completely resolved
We'd been experiencing worsening drainage of our kitchen sink and were unable to resolve this so turned to DPF Property Services who responded quickly and completely resolved our problem. Darren was able to establish the cause of the blockage through thorough investigation and keep us fully informed as this progressed. It required the sink trap to be taken apart and washed through followed by rodding to remove the blockage. We're really grateful to Darren for his highly responsive service, expertise and tenacity in remedying this tricky problem. A great outcome for us. Thank you.

This Company are a Breath of Fresh Air
An ongoing shared guttering problem, which had been broken after a previous poor traders work was solved super quickly with diplomacy, efficiency and good humour. I’d contacted 4 traders regarding the problem and Darren was the only one with the courtesy to answer and talk through the job with me. I was fortunate that his team could come out within the week. They were real problem solvers and both myself and my neighbours are happy with the work. No more damp walls. Great result and very highly recommended.

10/10 for our new Bathroom! Darren is a rare find, highly recommended.
Darren is a rare find, someone who cares about your home as much as you do! From protecting the floors, furniture and belongings, to being meticulous in each step of the process. The final product is a beautiful bathroom which we are thrilled with! Every step of the way Darren makes sure he communicates the process and clearly explains any issues that arise, discussing the options available to us before proceeding. We would recommend Darren to anyone looking for excellent customer service and a professionally finished job. We have already booked Darren for the next bathroom!

We needed our main bathroom to be completely re-worked. We sought 3 quotes and interviewed all of the potential contractors. Darren of DPF Services immediately emerged as the most professional and experienced of the three so we went ahead and gave him the contract. He confirmed that he was an outstanding choice. We are delighted with the result. He is an absolute expert in his field, takes great care in his work, is punctual and totally reliable. So much so that we have now asked him to renovate our shower room. He begins next month.

Since purchasing our current house DPF have been involved in a considerable amount of work in renovating our principal bedroom's en-suite, our kitchen and utility room, converting the former dining room into a very comfortable day to day sitting room complete with wood burner. DPF have also repaired the roof over the utility room where we had a very serious leak. Their work is of the highest standard and I would have no problem in recommending them.
