CDA have been responsible for maintaining our properties for a number of years. CDA’s remit for us extends to managing projects, property development and maintenance of listed buildings. CDA always takes a professional tailored approach and can be relied on to complete works in a timely and efficient manner.
I was extremely happy with the work done. Not only was it completed within a very tight time frame, it was done to a high standard with no corners cut.
Since I have discovered Sam and his happy team at CDA Property Services all my worries in how to keep my 100-year-old house in good repair have vanished. They have had the skill to deal with everything I have thrown at them in a friendly and highly efficient way. They are quick, no trouble to have around, don’t ask for, or accept anything I offer, so I quite happily leave them to their work.
Also, very important, they clear up scrupulously after the work is concluded and take all the rubbish away with them, most unusual. I unreservedly recommend them.
Amazing team, punctual, respectful, professional, the whole team took great care and pride in their work. They found solutions for us, to achieve the look we wanted in the most durable and cost effective way. I would definitely use CDA Properties again and would recommend them to friends and family!

The brief was simple – make the property new. CDA Property Services delivered on this brief without the need for our supervision. We were delighted with the quality of the work. CDA combined great service, value for money and quality. We can only praise Sam and his team for their work! Josh Warren M.D. Stane Park Ltd.
Sam and his team were fantastic. We had just bought the house and wanted to do a total refurbishment including adding an en-suite to the main bedroom, replace a window in the lounge with bi-fold doors, replace the ground floor cloakroom suite, open up the hallway, replace the oil heating system with a new gas boiler with new radiators and of course decorate throughout. All came within budget and timescales agreed.
Over the moon with the end result, better than I previously imagined. The work was carried out very quickly and the quality is Amazing. Great guys! Thank you
The team at CDA have an outstanding ethos when it comes down to achieving what it is that they are setting out to do.

For the safety of you and your family, it is advisable to fit a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm in your home.
Just like a smoke alarm which alerts you to the presence of smoke, a carbon monoxide detector will
alert you to the presence of CO.
The difference with CO is that it is invisible and has no smell or taste, so you might not realise
it is there.
Smoke alarms do not detect carbon monoxide.
What alarm should I fit?
Gas Safe Register recommends the use of audible carbon monoxide alarms. It should be marked to
EN 50291 and also have the British Standards’ Kitemark or another European approval organisation’s
mark on it. CO alarms usually have a battery life of up to 5 years.
Fit an alarm in each room with a gas appliance. Always follow the alarm manufacturer’s instructions
on siting, testing and replacing the alarm.
Do not use the ‘black spot’ detectors that change colour when carbon monoxide is present, they don’t
make a sound. It is important to choose an alarm that will wake you up if you’re asleep, or you may not
be aware of early CO symptoms until it is too late.
If you haven’t switched your energy supplier in the last three years, there’s a good chance you
could save money.
Already switched supplier? Make sure you’re on the cheapest tariff. The biggest savings are for
paying by monthly direct debit, online tariffs managed on the internet, or duel fuel deals,
so make sure you take advantage of these options if you can. Find out more about getting the best
deal from your supplier.
The Energy Saving Trust has a free home energy check that will help you find out where to make
energy-efficiency improvements and how much you might save.
It estimates some households could save £250 by following its personalised advice.
An energy monitor is a simple handheld gadget that estimates in real time how much energy
you’re using, so you can see where to cut back.
Monitors cost from around £40, but some gas and electricity suppliers give them away free.
Reducing room temperatures about just 1ºC can cut heating bills by around £65 a year according
to the Energy Saving Trust, so put on a jumper rather than turning up the heating.
Already turned down your thermostat?
Save even more by turning down the radiators in rarely-used or empty rooms and by programming
your heating to turn off when you’re not there.
Energy saving-light bulbs can help you cut your energy bills easily. If you replace all the light bulbs
in your house with energy saving ones, you could save about £60 a year.
Remember, energy-saving light bulbs do last longer than traditional ones – most CFLs claim lifetimes
upwards of 6,000 hours and LEDs around 25,000 hours, where as traditional light bulbs last around
1,000 hours.
Already use energy-saving bulbs?
Remember to switch off lights when not in use, and use the best bulb for the size of room or the job
it will do.
Stopping heat from escaping through unwanted gaps could help you save around £75 a year.
Take a look at the following areas:
Windows – use draught-proofing strips around the frame, brush strips work better for sash windows.
Doors – use draught-proofing strips for gaps around the edges and brush or hinged flap draught
excluders on the bottom of doors.
Chimney and fireplace – if you don’t use your fireplace, use an inflatable cushion to block the
chimney or fit a cap over the chimney pot.
Floorboards and skirting – as floorboards need to move, use a flexible silicon-based filler to
fill the gaps.
Loft hatches – the use of draught-proofing strips will help stop hot air escaping.
Already repaired large draughty areas?
Consider smaller holes of air such as keyholes and letterboxes.
If you’re replacing an appliance, you can cut your electricity bills by choosing the most energy-efficient
model you can – for example, running costs for washing machines vary between £12 and £47 per year.
Choosing the most energy-efficient models over least efficient ones can result in annual savings
of around £35 for washing machines, £93 for a tumble dryers and £88 for fridge-freezers.
Insulating both your loft and cavity walls can save you up to £320, and there are currently a number
of free insulation deals to help you pay for it.
Laying loft insulation to a thickness of 270mm in a typical non-insulated three-bedroomed semi could
trim £180 a year from energy bills, as less heat will be lost through the roof.
Insulating cavity walls can save around £140 a year and solid wall insulation, although more expensive
to fit, solid wall insulation could save you £460 to £490 a year.
Already installed loft insulation?
Even if you already have some insulation you could save £25 a year by topping it up from 100mm
to the recommended 270mm.
Replacing an old gas boiler with a new condensing model could trim an average of £310 a year
from your gas bill.
A new boiler is expensive, with installation costing around £2,500, so if saving money is your priority
it’s probably not worth replacing yours until it’s beyond economic repair.
Already replaced your boiler?
Make sure you’re using it efficiently. Ensure radiators are working properly and you are using
the boiler programmer so the heating only comes on when you need it.
Half-price cavity wall insulation, money towards installing solar panels and grants for buying a new
boiler are just some of the schemes currently on offer to help you save money on energy, for less.
There is also money available to those struggling with energy bill payments. For more information
contact your local benefits office or citizens advice.
