Working in Bletchley
We work right across Bletchley — MK1, MK2 and MK3 — and in neighbouring Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard.
In Bletchley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We test pressure and flow at Bletchley surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy. If the shower in your Bletchley home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Supplies across most of Buckinghamshire are hard. If your supply in Bletchley is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
Decisions to make first
Exposed or concealed
An exposed bar valve fixes onto the tiles and is easy to service. A concealed valve sits in the wall for a cleaner look but needs careful setting-out and a plan for access.
Thermostatic mixer
Blends hot and cold from your system and holds the temperature steady when someone runs a tap. The usual choice with a combi or an unvented cylinder.
Rules that apply in England
In England, an electric shower usually needs its own dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps for an 8.5 to 10.5 kW unit, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P. The Part G limit of 48 °C applies to a new bath in a new dwelling or one created by change of use, not to a shower, but a thermostatic valve gives similar protection. An unvented cylinder fitted to improve the shower must be installed by a G3-qualified installer.
