Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kirkintilloch: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Kirkintilloch, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit. For Kirkintilloch 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.
Supplies across most of Greater Glasgow are soft. If that holds for your street in Kirkintilloch, 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
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- 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
Decisions to make first
Head and handset
A handset on a riser rail is versatile and easy for rinsing; a fixed overhead head feels generous but needs strong flow behind it.
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.
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.
