Bathrooms
With various bathroom work carried out from the smallest cloakroom to large ensuite bathrooms with walk in showers, free standing baths, his and hers basins, toilets and energy efficient lighting schemes.
With our in house tilers providing high quality work which truly finish off the overall look of the room.
If tiling isn't to your liking and you would like a low maintenance alternative then wet-wall panelling is for you. With a wipe down surface removing the need for harsh cleaners and scourers.
Wood Burning & Multi-Fuel Stoves
The amount of wood burning and multi-fuel stove installations have increased dramatically in the past several years. With rising gas prices pushing the consumer to seek alternative means of heating their homes.
From 'Dry' stove installations that will only heat the room that it is fitted to 'Wet' stove installations that when lit will assist in heating the radiator or underfloor heating systems and provide hot water when required.
Please see our link up system page for more information on linking a stove to your heating/hot water system.
Our Greatest Achievement
For years when it came to coming up with a design or recommending a particular product we found ourselves getting asked the same questions "Can I see one working"? "Can you prove that the design will work"? So with that in mind Dave decided to build the operational showroom at our office in Hinckley with all renewable technologies in working display. We do not have fake boiler or gas fire frontages on show because a brochure will give the same result. We wanted to show the client the product in a fully working state. This gallery tells the story of the years of hard work and investment by the company.

This was the starting point for the installation. The room had to be cleared and prepped. If this step had not been done properly then the final finish of the flooring would be poor and ultimately crack in the future
Once the fibre screed mix was laid the floor was left to dry for several weeks. The final floor covering was an 18mm engineered oak floor.

Under Floor Heating
We have been designing and installing under floor heating systems for over 20 years. The system we primarily use is made by a company called Uponor. The company was originally based in Lutterworth just up the road which was ideal for on the spot ordering as well as technical support. Under floor heating is a must for all new builds or existing properties undergoing a refurb or retro fit as it offers lower running costs compared to traditional radiators. The attached photos are of a large hall in a shooting lodge. It shows the various stages of the work involved.
