Celebrating 40
Years of Innovation
We are innovators in our industry, controlling costs, reducing lifecycles and providing solutions, with the customer at the heart of everything we do.
We are industry leaders in the provision of drainage, mains water, off mains and leak detection services.
We are immensely proud of what we do, the people who make it happen and what we have achieved along the way.
Where It Began
Founded in 1982, DASA began by providing specialist drainage services for local councils, operating from modest premises in Manchester.
From the very beginning, the business was built on a commitment to exceptional customer service, investing in innovative technology and developing a highly skilled team capable of delivering the highest standards across the industry.
Over the following four decades, those founding principles of expertise, innovation and customer focus have remained at the heart of DASA’s continued growth and success.
Along The Way
In 1990 we began working with one of the UK’s leading insurance companies, Guardian Royal Exchange (GRE), now AXA. More than 35 years later, AXA remains one of our largest clients.
Our work with AXA established us in the insurance industry and this has continued to grow. We now work with some of the country’s largest insurers and their wider supply chains, including loss adjusters, surveyors and many more.
In addition to our work with insurers, we also operate in a number of other sectors, including facilities management, education, housing and niche areas such as high net worth, unusual and historical properties.
Continuing Development And Investment
Our continuing investment is key to the success of our business. Over the last 40 years we have developed new solutions and carried out thousands of hours of training to enhance the service we provide to our customers.
Technology is at the heart of all we do, we are passionate about its use, in the field and throughout the entire claims process
– Driving down costs
– Reducing lifecycles
– Minimising our impact on the planet
– And most importantly improving the customer experience
A New Chapter
In 2026, DASA entered a new chapter following a change of ownership and now operates as part of Sigo Group.
DASA continues to be led by its senior management team, strengthened by new appointments at director level and in technology. The people, values and standards our customers and clients know remain firmly in place.
The new structure gives us greater flexibility and a clear focus on investing in the areas that matter most:
• IT systems and digital capability
• Fleet and specialist equipment
• Training and development for our people
• Customer service and operational processes
• New and enhanced service offerings
The Future
In recent years DASA has achieved the largest growth in its history, and we now provide a national service to some of the country’s biggest insurers.
Although we are much larger than we were in 1982, the close-knit, customer-first ethos the business was built on remains embedded in our core values and approach.
Our vision is to keep improving the customer experience, control costs and lifecycles, find innovative solutions for restoring damaged properties, offer sustainable and environmentally friendly services, and continue to exceed customer expectations.
