Working in Stoke-on-Trent
We work right across Stoke-on-Trent — ST1, ST2, ST3 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Newcastle under Lyme and Kidsgrove.
Stoke-on-Trent is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For Stoke-on-Trent 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 you want a shower in your Stoke-on-Trent home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit.
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 Stoke-on-Trent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- 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 check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
