Working in Heckmondwike
We work right across Heckmondwike — WF13, WF15 and WF16 — and in neighbouring Liversedge and Batley.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Heckmondwike: free survey, written quote, one team. If the shower in your Heckmondwike home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. If you want a shower in your Heckmondwike home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit.
Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Heckmondwike, 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
Electric shower
Heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works without stored hot water. Higher kW units give more flow; 8.5 to 10.5 kW models need a dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps.
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.
