Working in Rugeley
We work right across Rugeley — WS15 — and in neighbouring Burntwood and Cannock.
In Rugeley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We check the floor under the bath during a Rugeley survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. For Rugeley houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Water across much of Staffordshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Rugeley. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
Decisions to make first
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
Rules that apply in England
In England, adding an electric shower usually means a new circuit, which is notifiable under Part P, as is any change to the wiring in the bathroom. Where the conversion is an adaptation for a disabled person, a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 may help, but the council must approve it before work starts.
