Working in Great Wyrley
As well as Great Wyrley itself (WS6), we survey in Cannock, Bloxwich and Burntwood.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Great Wyrley: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Great Wyrley bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. For Great Wyrley 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.
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 Great Wyrley. 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
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- 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.
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.
