Where should the processor go in a Tunstall house?

Somewhere serviceable and within the manufacturer's stated distance of the outlets — usually an airing cupboard or a boxed void. If the loft is the only option we make sure there's boarding and a light up there.

Do digital showers need balanced supplies?

Most do. In Tunstall homes still running a gravity hot supply with mains cold, we look at what's needed to balance them before specifying a unit.

Can I run a head and a handset?

Yes — a dual-outlet processor handles both, with the diverter in the control. We plan both outlet positions before first fix.

Is it more reliable than a standard mixer?

Different, not automatically better. The benefit is precise temperature and remote start; the trade-off is that servicing means getting to the processor, which is why siting it well matters so much.

How quickly can you start a job in Tunstall?

Lead time is usually two to five weeks from a confirmed quote, depending on the spec and our current schedule across the Staffordshire side.

Can you fit a bathroom in a Victorian terrace without losing too much space?

Yes — much of our work in Tunstall is in narrow Victorian terraces. We typically reset the door swing, move the basin onto a wall-hung run and recess the WC cistern to free up usable floor.

Digital showers move the working parts out of the wall and into a processor unit that sits somewhere else — a loft, an airing cupboard, a vanity void. That's the advantage and the trap: the install is only as good as the place you put the processor.

On Tunstall jobs we agree that location at survey, along with the cable route to the control and the outlet configuration, because none of it is easy to change once the wall is boarded and tiled.

We've fitted bathroom fitting in Tunstall long enough to know the houses inside out.
