Working in Wishaw
As well as Wishaw itself (ML2), we survey in Larkhall, Motherwell and Hamilton.
Homes in and around Wishaw vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you want a shower in your Wishaw 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 your Wishaw bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two.
Water across much of Lanarkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Wishaw, 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
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
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.
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.
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.
