Working in Stafford
We work right across Stafford — ST16 and ST17 — and in neighbouring Rugeley and Cannock.
In Stafford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We test pressure and flow at Stafford surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy. If the shower in your Stafford home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Stafford. 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
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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.
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.
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.
