Working in Holyhead

We cover all of Holyhead, including LL65, and nearby Caernarfon and Bangor.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Holyhead: free survey, written quote, one team. If you want a shower in your Holyhead home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Holyhead, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.

Supplies across most of Gwynedd are soft. If that holds for your street in Holyhead, 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

Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed

Decisions to make first

Electric shower

Heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works without stored hot water. Higher kW units give more flow; 8.5 to 10.5 kW models need a dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps.

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.

Shower installation in Holyhead: questions

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

A new shower in Holyhead usually costs £400–£3,300 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

How long does a new shower take?

Allow half a day to 3 days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Holyhead.

Is the home survey in Holyhead 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 LL65 in Holyhead?

Yes. We cover all of Holyhead, including LL65, and nearby Caernarfon and Bangor. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Does an electric shower need its own circuit?

Almost always. An electric shower draws a large current, so it needs a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, often 40 to 45 amps for an 8.5 to 10.5 kW unit, with RCD protection. In England and Wales a new circuit is notifiable work. Swapping like for like onto an adequate existing circuit is simpler.
