About Us.
A family-owned business with a long term attitude and openness to change
DBS Contracts Ltd was founded by Howard Duffy in 1992 and, for over 30 years, has grown as a proud family business built on trust, strong relationships, and a commitment to delivering results. Many of the company's workforce, including our two Contracts Managers, have been with us from the early days.
​
In 2021, having all worked for DBS in various roles over the years, Howard's three children took over as Directors of the company, whilst Howard maintains his role as CEO.
Our long-standing clients value not only our experience and reliability but also our forward-looking approach. While we hold true to the principles that have guided us since day one, we embrace change and adapt to new methods, technologies, and expectations. This balance of tradition and innovation allows us to deliver strip-out solutions that stand the test of time.
​
At the heart of our business are the values that define every project we undertake: reliability, quality, safety, and sustainability.
​
Reliability
At DBS, reliability is at the core of everything we do. We understand that deadlines matter, and our clients trust us to deliver strip-out services on time and within budget. Whether working on a large-scale commercial project or a smaller site clearance, we keep our commitments and maintain clear communication from start to finish.
Quality
Our team takes pride in providing a professional service that meets the highest industry standards. Every project is carried out with precision, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence. From the initial site survey to the final handover, we ensure that all strip-out work is completed efficiently, leaving a clean and prepared space ready for the next phase of development.
Safety
We place safety at the forefront of our operations. Our experienced team is fully trained in best practices, and we strictly follow health and safety regulations to protect our staff and clients. Risk assessments, method statements, and the latest safety equipment ensure that every job is completed without compromise.
Sustainability
Sustainability is built into our approach. We actively minimise waste, recycle materials wherever possible, and work with licensed partners to ensure responsible disposal. By focusing on environmentally conscious practices, we help clients meet their sustainability goals while reducing the environmental impact of strip-out projects.
Our Team.
When you work with DBS, you’ll find a team that is friendly, approachable, and accommodating. We're always happy to have a chat — whether it’s over the phone, a coffee, or even a beer — to talk through any aspect of your project. We believe the best results come from open conversations and strong relationships.
