Working in Goole

We work right across Goole — DN14 — and in neighbouring Thorne and Selby.

Goole gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the shower in your Goole home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. If your Goole bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two.

Water across much of the East Riding of Yorkshire is hard. If your supply in Goole 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

Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it

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.

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.

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.

Shower installation in Goole: questions

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

A new shower in Goole usually costs £400–£3,300 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.

Is the home survey in Goole really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover DN14 in Goole?

Yes. We cover all of Goole, including DN14, and nearby Thorne, Selby and Scunthorpe. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Goole?

Why does my shower keep going hot and cold?

Usually because it is a manual mixer without thermostatic control, so when someone runs a tap or flushes a toilet, the balance of hot and cold changes. A thermostatic valve corrects for this automatically. On an electric shower, scale build-up or a failing part can cause the same symptom.
