Working in Oswestry
We cover every part of Oswestry, including SY11, and nearby Shrewsbury (16.4 miles) and Wellington (25.1 miles).
Oswestry gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We test pressure and flow at Oswestry surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy. If your Oswestry 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 Shropshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Oswestry. 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
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
