What Happened to Discrete Heat After Dragons’ Den?

Discrete Heat appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2008, Series 6 Episode 7. The business was a heating system behind skirting boards. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Martin Wadsworth walked into the Den in 2008 with a heating system behind skirting boards. They were asking for £150,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Martin Wadsworth left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Discrete Heat is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2008, the business has now been trading for over two decades — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Discrete Heat Still Available?

Yes. The Discreteheat Company Limited appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
