Working in Wallasey
We work right across Wallasey — CH44 and CH45 — and in neighbouring Moreton and Birkenhead.
In Wallasey, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We test pressure and flow at Wallasey surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy. If your Wallasey bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two.
Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. If that holds for your street in Wallasey, 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
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- 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
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 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.
