Working in Grangemouth
We cover every part of Grangemouth, including FK3, and nearby Falkirk (2.5 miles) and Alloa (7.7 miles).
Grangemouth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the shower in your Grangemouth home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Grangemouth, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Water across much of the Forth Valley is soft. If that holds for your street in Grangemouth, 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
- 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
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
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 Scotland
In Scotland there is no Part P, but a new shower circuit must still be designed, installed and certified to BS 7671. Water fittings, including pumps and backflow protection, are covered by the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.
