We are one of a handful of companies in the UK to offer a specialist physical DPC service.
We guarantee our physical DPCs for 50 years.
We’ve never had to go back to repair a physical DPC that we’ve installed – including DPCs installed over 60 years ago. That’s how effective they are when installed correctly.
