Shower Installation in Manchester

Shower installation in Manchester: what the price includes

• 01
  System first, product second

  A combi boiler cannot supply a pumped shower. A gravity-fed tank cannot supply a high-flow mixer without a pump. An unvented cylinder can do almost anything. Ten minutes establishing which you have prevents the most common and most expensive shower mistake there is.

• 02
  Electric showers

  Independent of the hot water system, which makes them the reliable answer for a second bathroom or a loft conversion. The limit is kilowatts: 8.5 kW is adequate, 10.5 kW is noticeably better, and both need the cable and the RCD checked before anything is ordered.

• 03
  Mixer and thermostatic

  A thermostatic valve holds temperature when a tap runs elsewhere in the house, which is the difference between a good shower and a startling one. On any installation used by children or older people we fit thermostatic as standard rather than as an option.

• 04
  Pumps, where they are legal

  A pump can transform a gravity system, but it cannot be fitted to a mains-fed supply, that is a Water Regulations breach, not a preference. Where a pump is right we specify a twin-impeller unit and mount it so you are not listening to it through the ceiling.

• 05
  Tanking and tiling done in the right order

  Trays and enclosures leak at the junction, not the middle. We tank behind the tile, seal the tray to the substrate, and silicone last. Waterproofing that happens after tiling is decoration.

Local conditions we work around

Soft water is quietly good news for planned work in Manchester: fittings last, showers do not fur up, and a cylinder installed here will outlive the same unit in London. The complication is the housing. Mill and warehouse conversions run long horizontal waste routes that were retrofitted into buildings never designed for bathrooms, and the byelaw terraces share rear drainage where responsibility is genuinely ambiguous. Both are established at the survey rather than discovered halfway through.
