We can carry out all preparation works, supply & install underfloor heating, water proofing tanking systems, specialised mattings and much more.

A good solid floor is one that complements your decor and takes into consideration the use it will get. At DKM Developments Ltd we can remove your exiting floor coverings, organise disposal, prepare your sub-floor and fit the floor so that it looks good lasting for years to come. When installed and cared for correctly you should get years of use out of a laminate, engineered or solid wood floor. Our customers usually choose and purchase their floor and we then fit it for them. This has worked well in the past as it is always good to see the product and get a feel for this before making a decision on committing to a purchase.
Here at DKM Developments Ltd we are proud to have created useful spaces from previously cluttered and unused garages. We have created gym rooms, home offices, ‘man caves' and multimedia rooms for older children. Using a build technique which ensures that the new space is damp free and fully thermally insulated the space we are then able to give our clients flexibility to use the space as they choose. The internal walls and floor are formed from pressure treated timber studwork. This is attached to the outside damp proof membrane to form a breathable, damp proof membrane with structural integrity.
From hanging doors to building roofs we offer the full range of carpentry services that will help you with your building project. Wood is a beautiful natural material that we enjoy working with and we have occasionally been able to build some bespoke storage solutions for some of our customers. As skilled carpenters we know that using the correct size and grade of timber is critical to the longevity of a structure and the nature of the work being carried out. We source our timber sustainably checking that our suppliers are buying wholesale timber from sustainable forests.
We are pleased to offer a loft insulation service. As Trustmark accredited loft insulation installers with a 10 year insurance backed guarantee we can install loft insulation in your home to save you money on heating bills and keep you warm in winter. We can also assist you with funding the installation through the latest Government Green Homes Grant Scheme. In the first instance a qualified and accredited Retrofit Energy assessor will carry out a professional survey of your loft. The purpose of this survey is to find out what type of loft hatch is in place, the level and condition of the existing insulation, inspect the roof for any possible defects, identify pipes that will need lagging as well as any hazards such as wasps nests, asbestos tanks, pipes, ductwork etc. and evidence of any pests or protected species.

We can fit plaster board to ceilings and walls and have carried out many installations for our customers over the years. We use plaster board to straighten out and level surfaces prior to skimming. A combination of screws and dry wall adhesive are used for fixing the board. Joints between the boards are then caulked and scrim taped for skimming. Any power sockets, switches, roses and downlighters are removed and re-fitted after completion. This is all included in our price. We offer a radiator removal and refitting service as a much better finish is achieved.
Whether you are looking for a space to work from home in such as a home office, a gym, a home beauty salon or just a place to escape the kids we can build it for you. In recent times we have had more demand from clients for a well designed space that allows them to work from home. Our standard 4m by 3m gives 12 suare metres of internal working space which is more than enough space to fit a desk, office chair, laptop, tablet or pc and still have room to work. We can build bespoke office storage solutions into the finished space such as shelving and cupboards.
