Working in Lossiemouth
We cover every part of Lossiemouth, including IV31, and nearby Elgin (5.1 miles) and Buckie (12.3 miles).
Lossiemouth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the shower in your Lossiemouth home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. For Lossiemouth 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.
Water across much of Moray is soft. If that holds for your street in Lossiemouth, 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 check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- 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
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
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.
Electric shower
Heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works without stored hot water. Higher kW units give more flow; 8.5 to 10.5 kW models need a dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps.
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.
