Working in Welshpool
We work right across Welshpool — SY21 — and in neighbouring Newtown and Brecon.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Welshpool: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Welshpool, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit. If your Welshpool bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two.
Water across much of Powys is soft. If that holds for your street in Welshpool, 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
- 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 bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- 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 Wales
In Wales, a new circuit for an electric shower is notifiable under the Welsh Part P, which covers more work than the English version. An unvented cylinder must be fitted by a G3-qualified installer.
