Here
at Drayton and Ellis, the primary professional background
for the partners is in plumbing. Both Albert and Jon served
their time as apprentice plumbers and have worked in the
industry ever since.
When Albert
served his time, the general definition of central heating
was an open fire in the living room, and some houses had
inside toilets! We believe can offer a well thought out
design or solution for all modern day plumbing and sanitary
requirements. We have worked hard to pass as much of our
knowledge and experience on to our highly skilled team of
technicians.
We can carry
out installation and maintenance services for all aspects of
domestic and light commercial plumbing systems and problems,
including;
-
Hot and
cold water supply pipe work and fittings.

Many modern
homes and businesses have plumbing systems which have
evolved over many years. They have often been worked on by
many different trades people and professionals, over a
prolonged period of time. Often we find that what appears to
be a minor problem has its roots or cause a long way back in
the history of the growth of the system. For this reason, we
like to try and diagnose the cause of a problem, rather than
simply treat the symptoms, overall we find this well thought
out approach to plumbing gives a better overall resolution,
and longer term satisfaction.
Because we have
both spent our whole working lives in the plumbing trade, we
have seen and been aware of many developments and changes
within our industry. Over the last 30 years, the profession
has moved from wiping joints on lead pipes, to sometimes
needing a laptop computer to diagnose problems with some of
the equipment we now install. We pride ourselves on our
ability to keep abreast of advances in the products and
technology constantly coming onto the market, and being used
in plumbing and heating systems. We can offer holistic and
innovative solutions to your plumbing needs or problems. We
are aware that many modern properties require very high
performance plumbing systems to enable them to work to their
potential.
Even after all
this time in the business, we still see situations and
faults we have not encountered before, but we believe that
there is always an explanation for a fault and that there
must be a solution. Whatever you plumbing requirements or
problems, please contact us for advice or a free quotation..
