Working in Hawarden
In Hawarden we cover CH5; we also cover Deeside, 1.2 miles away, and Buckley.
Homes in and around Hawarden vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the shower in your Hawarden home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. For Hawarden homes with a cold tank in the loft, we check the system before fitting anything, because a pump is only allowed on a gravity supply.
Most of Clwyd has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Hawarden. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
Decisions to make first
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.
Power shower
A mixer with a built-in pump, for tank-fed systems only. It lifts a weak gravity shower but must never be connected to the mains.
Rules that apply in Wales
In Wales, a new circuit for an electric shower is notifiable under the Welsh Part P, which covers more work than the English version. An unvented cylinder must be fitted by a G3-qualified installer.
