Working in Warminster

As well as Warminster itself (BA12), we survey in Westbury, Frome and Trowbridge.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Warminster: free survey, written quote, one team. If you want a shower in your Warminster home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit. If the shower in your Warminster home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.

Supplies across most of Wiltshire are hard. If your supply in Warminster is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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
Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a new shower in Warminster?

Building control for Warminster is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is a digital shower?

A digital shower has a control panel on the wall and a mixing valve hidden in a loft, cupboard or behind a panel. You set the exact temperature and flow, and some models can be started remotely. It needs an electrical supply, and versions are made for both mains-pressure and gravity systems.
