Working in Cumbernauld
We work right across Cumbernauld — G67 — and in neighbouring Airdrie and Coatbridge.
In Cumbernauld, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you want a shower in your Cumbernauld home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit. We test pressure and flow at Cumbernauld surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Water across much of Lanarkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Cumbernauld, 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 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
- 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
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.
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.
