Working in Huddersfield
In Huddersfield we cover HD1, HD2, HD3 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Elland, 3.3 miles away, and Brighouse.
Across a large town like Huddersfield, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If the shower in your Huddersfield home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. We test pressure and flow at Huddersfield surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Huddersfield, 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
- 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
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
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.
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.
