Since 1987

Two generations. One standard.

Tom Draper fitted his first boiler in Shirley in 1987 with a borrowed van and a promise: do it properly or don't do it at all. His sons James and Robert run the firm today — 14 vans, the same promise.

Most of our work still comes the old way: a neighbour's recommendation. That only happens when you turn up on time, charge what you quoted and leave the kitchen cleaner than you found it.

Featured project

A Bassett bathroom,
three weeks, done.

Nineteen-eighties avocado suite out. Walk-in rainfall shower, underfloor heating and brushed-brass fittings in. Drag the handle to see the difference.

Fixed quote agreed up front, our own tilers and sparkies throughout, and the homeowners kept a working loo every single day of the job.

Good to know

Questions we hear a lot

Not for booked appointments — you pay for the work, not the doorbell. Out-of-hours emergencies carry a fixed call-out from £89, agreed on the phone before anyone sets off. (Demo — prices illustrative.)
Inside Southampton we aim for under an hour, day or night — today's average is around 42 minutes. Further out we'll give you an honest ETA on the phone rather than a hopeful one.
Every engineer is time-served, DBS-checked and — for gas work — Gas Safe registered.* You'll get their name before they arrive and ID at the door. (*Fictional accreditation for this demo.)
Twelve months on all workmanship, in writing, on every invoice. Boiler installations carry the manufacturer's warranty on top — up to 10 years on Gold packages.
Always. Fixed quotes for planned work, and for emergencies the engineer walks you through the cost before touching a spanner. The quote is the invoice — see our pricing page.
