Working in Enniskillen

In Enniskillen we cover BT74; we also cover Omagh, 22.3 miles away, and Strabane.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Enniskillen: free survey, written quote, one team. We test pressure and flow at Enniskillen surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy. If the shower in your Enniskillen home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.

Water across much of County Fermanagh is soft. If that holds for your street in Enniskillen, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head

Decisions to make first

Digital shower

A wall panel sets the exact temperature and flow, while the mixing valve sits out of sight. It needs a power supply and suits a clean, concealed look.

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 Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland there is no Part P; electric shower circuits should be installed and certified to BS 7671. The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 cover pumps and backflow protection.

More about shower installation

Shower installation in Enniskillen: questions

How much should I budget for a new shower in Enniskillen?

A new shower in Enniskillen usually costs £400–£3,100 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover BT74 in Enniskillen?

Yes. We cover all of Enniskillen, including BT74, and nearby Omagh, Strabane and Dungannon. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Enniskillen?

Does a new shower in Enniskillen need building control approval?

Building control in Enniskillen is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

Which type of shower do I need?

The type depends on your hot-water system. With a combi boiler or unvented cylinder, a thermostatic mixer on mains pressure is usually right. With a cold tank and hot cylinder, a mixer runs by gravity, or a power shower or pump can boost it. If hot water is limited, an electric shower heats cold mains water as you use it.
