Will a pump work with my Hanley home's system?

If you have a gravity-fed cylinder and a cold tank, yes. On combis you don't need a pump — mains pressure is already positive. We check at Hanley survey.

What bar pump for a rainfall head?

2.0-3.0 bar twin-impeller for a 250-300mm head, positive-head only. Anything smaller under-serves the fixture on a Hanley install.

Are pumped showers noisy?

Old ones can be. Current-gen quiet pumps sit around 47dB; we mount them on rubber anti-vibration feet and rigid-connect only where necessary on Hanley jobs.

Do you cover the pump warranty?

Yes — we register the pump on the manufacturer portal at handover of every Hanley install, so the warranty runs from your commissioning date.

How quickly can you start a job in Hanley?

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

Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?

Always. After a free home visit in Hanley we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.

A pumped shower makes sense in any Hanley home still running gravity-fed hot water — typically pre-1990s builds with a header tank in the loft. The trick is sizing the pump against the fixture, not just picking a bar rating off a box.

We measure available head at survey, spec twin-impeller pumps against the exact head and outlet count, and locate the pump on anti-vibration mounts so the whole airing cupboard doesn't hum every time somebody showers.

Hanley is one of the areas we work in most weeks — so bathroom fitting jobs here come with a working knowledge of the street layouts.
