Working in Willenhall
In Willenhall we cover WS3, WV12 and WV13; we also cover Wednesfield, 1.3 miles away, and Wolverhampton.
In Willenhall, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the shower in your Willenhall home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. We test pressure and flow at Willenhall surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Willenhall. 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
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
