We would like to share some details regarding a rear extension project we completed in Fareham in 2019. This particular build featured a unique aesthetic and high-quality materials, including graphite black bricks and a roof structure with exposed timber rafters internally.

The low-profile roof was finished in VM Zinc, which was installed by GSL. To ensure efficiency and comfort, we integrated an underfloor heating system provided by Thermo Screed. Additionally, we are continuing work on the property by installing a new decking area supplied by Millboard.

Reflecting on a 2019 project, we undertook a comprehensive redesign of the front and rear of the house. The client, very hands-on, carefully considered the final look, incorporating textures like render timber cladding stone and exposed brickwork. The result is a stunning building. We’re still working with the client on their current projects and look forward to sharing some visuals soon.

Fort Purbrook

Looking at one of our Conservation Projects that we completed at Fort Purbrook for Peter Ashley Activity Centre in 2022. We originally completed some works to the west entrance gates with some brickwork and stone replacements and rehanging the existing gates. Following on from this, they suffered from a lorry that damaged the protected railings at the front, and we were asked to replace these, including new base foundations.

Thanks to ML UK Ltd, who provided the new handrails. Rowan Adams Stonemasons helped with the brickwork and stonework repairs.

Reflecting on a project we finished back in November 2022, we transformed an old piggery near Andover into a single home. The design was created by The Goddard Partnership Ltd from Bishops Waltham.

Before we could convert it, we had to do quite a bit of restoration, including fixing the timber, brickwork and roof.

For heating, we used underfloor heating from Thermo Screed, powered by an electric boiler installed and set up by Nice Plumbs, a mechanical contractor.

The building still has the original low-level openings where the pigs used to come in, but we’ve added new windows.

The windows, doors and shutters were made by Fineline Traditional Joinery Ltd in West Sussex.

The kitchen was provided by Howdens Kitchens, and the porcelain tiles came from Beswickstone.

Daniels Walk, Lymington

Reflecting on a new build house completed in 2017 in Lymington, the design was created by Helyer Davies Architects Ltd. This replaced an existing bungalow with a modern two-storey house. The exterior was rendered with K-Rend and the staircase was designed by Multi-Turn, we used eco joists for the floor. It involved some extensive external landscaping with a new stepped approach to the front of the house. Interior involved some bold tiling and spacious bathrooms.

Chilcomb Chine

The works at Chilcomb Chine were completed in August 2024. The project involved a full internal alteration, including a loft conversion and a large side/rear extension. The house required significant extension alterations. The large dormers on the roof were clad in leadwork with new Velfac window installations. The side/rear extension was rendered base with a zinc-clad roof. We also completed the external landscaping which involved an Astroturf pitch for the client to use.

We are currently working on the final bathroom at the property and anticipate completion within the next few weeks.

At DPB, we’re proud to recognise the dedication and growth of our team — and today, we’re taking a moment to highlight Jack.

Jack joined DPB in 2020, beginning his Level 2 Carpentry and Joinery apprenticeship. Through hard work, determination, and a strong commitment to his craft, he successfully completed his Level 2 qualification in early 2023 before progressing onto Level 3 — qualifying in October last year and becoming a valuable member of the DPB team. Jack is a dedicated and enthusiastic apprentice, and while he does have the advantage of being the son of our Managing Director, Dominick, his hard work and commitment are truly commendable.

We are also excited to welcome Owen Pawley to the team, who joined us at the end of September 2025 and has begun his own apprenticeship journey following the same path as Jack.

Investing in apprenticeships is investing in the future of our industry — and we’re proud to support the next generation of skilled tradespeople.

Beach Road 🏠

Reflecting on a new build project in Emsworth that we completed nine years ago.

The project involved piling undertaken by Burras Ltd. The ground beams were then raised to the DPC level by our team and subsequently handed over to Potton, a structural insulated panel designer and installer. Following this, the interior and exterior of the building were completed by our team. An air source heat pump was also installed by All Seasons Mechanical LTD

We’re back at the iconic West Horsley Place, carrying out further structural strengthening to support the existing roof and its historic trusses. This follows on from earlier strengthening works we completed at the property.

Alongside this, we’ve undertaken a range of repair works across the estate, including chimneys, garden walls, and other historic buildings.

West Horsley Place is a Grade I Listed Building and the well-known filming location for the BBC series Ghosts, making the care and precision of these works especially important.

A great collaborative effort with Strudwick Scaffolding and Stanley Steels on the latest phase of repairs.
