Working in Dewsbury
We work right across Dewsbury — BD11, BD19, WF12 and 4 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Batley and Ossett.
Homes in and around Dewsbury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you want a shower in your Dewsbury home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit. We test pressure and flow at Dewsbury surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Dewsbury, 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
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
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.
Digital shower
A wall panel sets the exact temperature and flow, while the mixing valve sits out of sight. It needs a power supply and suits a clean, concealed look.
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.
