Working in Poulton-le-Fylde
As well as Poulton-le-Fylde itself (FY2, FY3 and FY6), we survey in Blackpool, Thornton-Cleveleys and Lytham St Annes.
Poulton-le-Fylde gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We test pressure and flow at Poulton-le-Fylde surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy. For Poulton-le-Fylde 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 Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Poulton-le-Fylde, 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
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- 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
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 England
In England, an electric shower usually needs its own dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps for an 8.5 to 10.5 kW unit, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P. The Part G limit of 48 °C applies to a new bath in a new dwelling or one created by change of use, not to a shower, but a thermostatic valve gives similar protection. An unvented cylinder fitted to improve the shower must be installed by a G3-qualified installer.
