Hi everyone.

Apologies for not keeping the social media up to date again!

We have been so busy with work it has been pushed to the back of the queue!

Anyway bit of an update.

Last time I posted we were on with 2 large refurbishment projects in Bramhope and Shadwell.

The Bramhope job has been completed for a while in terms of the plumbing and I am just waiting on the final decoration to be finished then I will get some pictures up of the finished job.

The Shadwell job was put on hold for a while because the builder had to pull off to concentrate on another more urgent project.

It’s now back up and running and it’s full steam ahead to get it finished in the next 3 weeks.

We installed the underfloor heating last week and the Bathrooms and Boiler will be going in next week all being well.

We are taking bookings for smaller jobs and Boiler swaps from December onwards and booking large jobs into the new year now.

So if you are thinking of upgrading your heating system or just looking to have a new Bathroom installed please get in touch now and I will be happy to come out to give you a quote.

Here’s a couple of pictures of the underfloor heating we fit last week a Shadwell.

As always please keep recommending and sharing the page it really helps a small business like ours.

Thanks Chris & Nat

After a well deserved break we are back and with some exciting news.

We are now fully vetted members of the Pinnacle of all Trades platform.

This is a trade platform setup by local builder Graham Nash.

Graham as well as being a master builder is know for helping customers all over the country who have been ripped off by unscrupulous builders and trades.

He has set up this platform as he was sick and tired of seeing people pay £1000’s for substandard and sometimes dangerous work.

Everyone who joins the platform is personally vetted by Graham and only those with the highest standard
of work will be allowed to join.

Here at Drakes we have always taken pride in our
work and and we align with the principles and methods that Pinnacle work by.

This isn’t a platform like Checkatrade and my Builder. These among other platforms are only concerned about making money.

And it’s common knowledge that a lot of the reviews are falsified to keep ratings high for certain companies who don’t necessarily provide a good standard of work.

The Pinnacle of all trades way of finding a trade protects both the customer and the tradesman and we are excited to be a part of it and look forward to seeing it grow.

Here’s the link to the page please check it out to see more information on what it’s all about.👍🏻

Still mega busy at Drake’s here’s a catch up on what we have been up to recently.

This is a 1st fix started today on a full house refurb job in Shadwell.

Underfloor heating downstairs, Rads upstairs, Main family bathroom, ensuite and downstairs W.C.

New Boiler with hydraulic separation for the mixed heat circuits.

Big refurb job in Bramhope has been 1st fix and Boiler room 2nd fixed. Waiting on tilers and plasterers so we can 2nd fix the Bathrooms and radiators.

We are on Holiday from Friday for 3 weeks for a well deserved break.

Diary is open end of October onwards for any Boilers, Heating systems, Bathrooms or Refurbishment projects that need project management.

As always we are happy to take any emergency repairs in the short term.👍🏻

Finished pictures of the Bathroom job we wrapped up last week.

Quite a challenge this one it looked ok on the surface but was about as bad as it gets once it was ripped out.

Happy with the finished job as is the customer!

We are taking bookings for larger jobs October onwards if you have a Bathroom or a Boiler that needs replacing please get in touch.👍🏻

Just a bit of an update.

Bramhope project is progressing nicely just waiting on steels and windows then we can finish the 1st fix.

Boiler room is 90% done pipework is 80%. I will get some pics next week of the progress.

In the meantime we have started a small bathroom project in Cookridge on Monday

Ripped it out on Monday and discovered some horrors! More than usual😂

It’s a 60’s built bungalow and these used what we call eggcrate partition walls. Kind of like a stud wall but with no timber.

Basically it’s 2 sheets of plasterboard stuck together with a cardboard mesh in the middle with a thin timber frame around the perimeter of the wall.

It’s actually quite strong but the problem is as soon as it’s damaged it loses all its rigidity and structural strength.

Removing tiles will do this! In an ideal world the wall can be taken down and a new studwork wall constructed.

But in this case the other side of both affected walls are plastered and decorated and the customer doesn’t have the budget to redo these rooms.

So we have carefully constructed a studwork frame inside the existing empty frame work and tied it into the floor and ceiling joists. The bathroom will be fully tiled and this is the shower area so it will give us the opportunity to tile backer board and tank the area to prevent future leaks.

Leaks which rotted the floor and joists which we have also replaced and repaired😂

Hoping to have this one finished back end of next week🤞🏻

I will update the post with pics as we go

Just finished wrapping up both House renovation projects we have been on this week.

All that’s left to do is the painting and decoration by the customer.

Here’s a few select pictures of the Bathroom on one of the properties and Boiler installation on the other.

19/03/2026

Here’s a bit of an update on what we have been up to the last few weeks.

We are currently working on two complete full house renovation projects.

The 1st house is a bit further on 1st fix plumbing is done and the majority of the plastering is completed.

Electrics have been 1st & 2nd fixed where possible and the Bathroom is starting to take shape.

The second property is a much larger house and had suffered significant water damage due to a water leak whilst stood empty.

But its progressing nicely 1st fix pipework is nearly done, electrics are pretty much finish and windows and plastering will start next week.

Here’s a Bathroom we have just wrapped up last week.

This one was a challenging job. It was an unusual space with a mixture of high and low ceilings.

The Customer had been to several Bathroom design specialists who had produced various designs to incorporate a free standing Bath and separate shower.

I knew from experience that these designs wouldn’t work the Shower needed to be where the old toilet was.

The problem with a lot of designers is that they have never actually done the job so don’t know what it actually takes to make it work!

The main issue we had with this job was that a single storey extension had been built along the length of the back wall which restricted where the soil pipe could be run.

So in all the designs the toilet was kept where it was originally which is now the shower room.

I knew we could get around this by constructing a stud wall to encase the soil pipe. The back wall was way out of plumb anyway so it made sense to do this.

It was really tight for space to make the shower area still work but I think the finished results speak for themselves.

A very bold colour scheme chosen by the customer but I think it works well.

If you have an out of the ordinary job or just want a company who goes the extra mile to get the results you want please get in touch with Drakes.

We are taking bookings for June/July onwards for larger projects.

Quite a transformation the pictures speak for themselves!
