Working in Crieff
As well as Crieff itself (PH7), we survey in Auchterarder, Perth and Alloa.
Crieff gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Crieff, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit. If you want a shower in your Crieff home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit.
Water across much of Perth and Kinross is soft. If that holds for your street in Crieff, 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
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
Decisions to make first
Power shower
A mixer with a built-in pump, for tank-fed systems only. It lifts a weak gravity shower but must never be connected to the mains.
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.
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.
