    Brief history

    Plumbase began life an amazing 155 years ago, before it was part of the Grafton Group PLC. Although it has become so much bigger than this humble start, the company has never lost sight of or forgotten where it came from. The original Plumbase was actually called H. Bradley and was a heating and plumbing business that consisted of six branches throughout London. It remained that way until it was bought by Grafton in 1994 and then was given the name Plumbase in 1998. In that time, they have built up the business.

    It has grown steadily and added to its product line. The staff are passionate and knowledgeable about plumbing and heating products. One of the things that really makes Plumbase stand out is the fact that they are the only heating and plumbing merchants that launch a 24-hour boiler spares line.
