Ranked 4 of 5 in Fireplace installers in Telford

Best for: showroom choice across solid fuel, gas and electric

Trading as Drayton Stoves Ltd · 60 Cheshire Street, Market Drayton, Shropshire, TF9 1PR · Service area: Telford, Whitchurch, Shrewsbury

Drayton Stoves in short

Drayton Stoves is a family-run Shropshire retailer and installer of solid-fuel stoves, gas and electric fires, surrounds and fireplace accessories. The showroom range spans named makers such as Arada, Hunter and Charlton and Jenrick, with a from-price carried on the homepage. Telford sits among its named areas beside Whitchurch and Shrewsbury, and the firm takes enquiries by phone, email and contact form.

Installation rests on HETAS-approved company status with HETAS-approved fitters, stated on the installation page, with every stove and fireplace fitted to building regulations and covered by a written guarantee against damage or lighting failure. Chimney sweeping and repairs sit alongside fitting. The contact page gives weekday opening hours, and the firm promises a steady run from purchase to completion.

Customer evidence spans two small public sources, both seen in early September. The headline is a Google score of 4.3 from 17 reviews, with a stronger Chamber of Commerce directory score from a handful of ratings behind it. The combined base stays small, so a few new reviews would move either average.

Our view is that Drayton Stoves suits a buyer who wants to see fires in a showroom before choosing across fuels. What counts against it is unpublished insurance, no stated Gas Safe cover for the gas fires it sells and fits, and a review base that is still small for a firm asking to be judged on reputation.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Drayton Stoves suits you if you want to compare solid-fuel, gas and electric fires in a Shropshire showroom before choosing, backed by HETAS-stated fitting and a written install guarantee [1] [2]. What counts against it is unpublished insurance, no stated Gas Safe cover for gas work, and a small combined review base [4] [6].

Questions about Drayton Stoves

Where does Drayton Stoves work?

The site names Whitchurch, Shrewsbury and Telford among its areas, so most Telford addresses fall inside its patch for showroom visits and fitting. The Google listing shows Market Drayton while the contact page shows Whitchurch. Send your postcode with room details and fireplace photos, and ask for a visit slot that covers your street.

Is Drayton Stoves HETAS approved?

HETAS-approved company status with HETAS-approved fitters is stated on the installation page, and every stove and fireplace is fitted to building regulations. The HETAS register itself could not be searched, so membership cannot be sourced from the register. Ask for the approval details alongside your written quote, and keep the guarantee with your house file.

What does Drayton Stoves charge?

Stoves are advertised from just under six hundred pounds, while fitting, call-out and VAT positions stay unpublished. Chimney sweeping and repairs are quoted per job after a look at the fireplace. Send your room details and fireplace photos, then ask for an itemised fixed quote covering the stove, fitting and any chimney work.

How do I get a quote from Drayton Stoves?

Call, email or use the contact form; the site promises a steady run from purchase to completion with a written guarantee on every install. Bring room measurements and fireplace photos to make the first visit count. Ask for the survey date and the install dates as one written timetable before work starts.

What do Drayton Stoves reviews say?

The record we hold spans two small public sources: a mid-range Google score from seventeen reviews beside a stronger Chamber of Commerce directory score from seven. Both were seen in early September, so the picture is fresh. Read the critical reviews first rather than the averages alone, then set them against the written quote.

It sits fourth of the five firms assessed, behind Grate Ideas as a multi-fuel showroom but with a written install guarantee behind it.
