What we do

What we take on

Kitchens and bathrooms are our speciality, but thirty years on the tools means we can handle the whole job, and bring in Gas Safe registered engineers and qualified electricians as they are needed.

Kitchen fitting

Full installations from any supplier. We fit Wren, Benchmarx, Howdens and Magnet, as well as bespoke units. Rip-out and disposal, units, worktops, tiling, flooring and the final trims that make it look built-in rather than bolted on.

  • Complete kitchen installation
  • Laminate, solid wood & stone worktops
  • Kitchen refurbishment & door replacement
  • Old kitchen removed and taken away

Bathrooms & wet rooms

From a straight swap to a full re-design. We strip back, re-plumb, tile and finish. That includes level-access wet rooms and adaptations for staying independent at home.

  • Full bathroom installation
  • Wet rooms & level-access showers
  • Wall & floor tiling
  • Cloakrooms & en-suites

Carpentry & joinery

The trade we started in, and still the heart of what we do. City & Guilds qualified and time-served. Doors that close cleanly, mitres that line up.

  • Internal & external doors hung
  • Fitted wardrobes & storage
  • Fire doors to current regulations
  • Skirting, architrave & second fix

Flooring

Solid wood, engineered, laminate and vinyl, laid level and finished neatly into every doorway and awkward corner.

  • Solid & engineered wood
  • Laminate & luxury vinyl tile
  • Floor levelling & preparation

Refurbishments

Whole-room and whole-house projects, co-ordinated so trades arrive in the right order and you always know what's happening next.

  • Full room refurbishment
  • Plastering & decorating
  • Trades co-ordinated for you

Smaller jobs too

Plenty of trades won't return the call for a half-day job. We will. Several of our biggest projects started as exactly that.

  • Flat-pack assembly
  • Shelving & repairs
  • Odd jobs and second opinions

About DSR

Thirty years in the trade, all of it in Eastbourne

DSR Home Improvements is a small independent business based in Eastbourne. Donald is a time-served, City & Guilds qualified carpenter and joiner with over thirty years in the trade, working with a settled team he's used for years.

You get the same faces on site every morning, the person who quoted the job is the person doing it, and there's no call centre between you and an answer. We turn up when we say we will, we tidy up before we leave, and if something needs putting right we come back and put it right.

Kitchens and bathrooms are what we're known for. But we'll happily hang a single door, and we say no to work we're not the right people for.

Free, no-obligation quotesWe'll come and look at the job before quoting a number.
