The DPF pressure sensor almost certainly had failed and caused the DPF to clog up. A bad MAP sensor also could do it on some cars; the bad MAP causes a turbo overboost which will prevent the DPF from regenerating on some cars (especially JLR vehicles.) One thing: you don't need somebody to clean the DPF and you certainly don't need to remove it from the car to clean it. Buy 5 liters of Wynns Off Car DPF cleaner and put it in a sprayer (I use a garden sprayer.) Spray it (using a thin hose) into the inlet hose to the DPF pressure sensor, and let it sit for an hour. Then put the sensor hose back on and start the car. The exhaust pressure will blow the cleaner out the tailpipe and you've just saved yourself hundreds of Pounds. A guy has a great channel (Orileys Mobile Mechanics) has a great channel where he does this all the time, and I've done it on my Range Rover.
