Working in Wednesfield
We cover every part of Wednesfield, including WV10, WV11 and WV14, and nearby Willenhall (1.3 miles) and Wolverhampton (1.8 miles).
Homes in and around Wednesfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We test pressure and flow at Wednesfield surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy. If the shower in your Wednesfield home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Wednesfield. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- 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.
Thermostatic mixer
Blends hot and cold from your system and holds the temperature steady when someone runs a tap. The usual choice with a combi or an unvented cylinder.
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.
