Working in Auchterarder
As well as Auchterarder itself (PH3), we survey in Crieff, Perth and Alloa.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Auchterarder: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Auchterarder, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit. We test pressure and flow at Auchterarder surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Supplies across most of Perth and Kinross are soft. If that holds for your street in Auchterarder, 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
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- 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
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.
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.
