Working in Larkhall
We work right across Larkhall — ML9 — and in neighbouring Wishaw and Hamilton.
Larkhall gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Larkhall 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. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Larkhall, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Water across much of Lanarkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Larkhall, 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
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
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.
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 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.
