Working in Cleckheaton
We work right across Cleckheaton — BD19, WF15 and WF16 — and in neighbouring Liversedge and Heckmondwike.
In Cleckheaton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Cleckheaton bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. If the shower in your Cleckheaton home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Cleckheaton, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
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.
