Working in Cannock
We cover every part of Cannock, including WS11 and WS12, and nearby Great Wyrley (2.1 miles) and Burntwood (4.4 miles).
Across a large town like Cannock, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For Cannock 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. If the shower in your Cannock home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Supplies across most of Staffordshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Cannock. 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
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- 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
Decisions to make first
Head and handset
A handset on a riser rail is versatile and easy for rinsing; a fixed overhead head feels generous but needs strong flow behind it.
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 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.
