How It Works
Onsite Assessment
A qualified engineer inspects your loft tank, cold feed and shower valve to confirm whether a positive head or negative head pump is required and to check electrical access.
Clear Quotation
You receive a written quote that explains the chosen pump type, work required and any pipework or wiring changes, so there are no surprises on the day.
Install, Commission and Test
We fit the pump, make good any pipework, wire and isolate safely, then run a full flow and leak test. The job finishes with a customer handover and advice on maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most combi boiler systems are already mains pressure and do not benefit from a shower pump. Fitting a pump to a combi can cause pressure imbalance and safety issues. Our engineer will inspect your system and advise the correct alternative, such as a different shower valve or a power shower solution.
A positive head pump is suitable when the loft tank provides some gravity pressure to the shower rose. A negative head pump is designed for installations where there is little or no gravity feed. Choosing the right type prevents noise and ensures the pump will deliver a reliable flow.
Modern pumps are quieter than older units but some noise is inevitable. Correct mounting, anti-vibration pads and proper pipework support reduce sound. We discuss likely noise levels during the survey and position the pump to minimise disturbance.
Yes, pumps require a dedicated fused spur and safe electrical connection. Our engineers install isolator switches and label them so the pump can be safely serviced or isolated in future. All electrical work complies with current regulations.
Most straightforward installs are completed in a day, subject to access and any additional pipework. We provide a clear handover and outline any manufacturer warranty and our own workmanship expectations during the quote stage.
