Working in Wolverhampton

In a city the size of Wolverhampton, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Wolverhampton, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit. For Wolverhampton 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.
Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Wolverhampton. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- 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
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.
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.
