Will a pump work with my Tunstall 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 Tunstall 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 Tunstall 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 Tunstall jobs.

Do you cover the pump warranty?

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

Do you tidy up at the end of each day?

Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Tunstall home liveable while the work runs.

Are you fully insured for work in Tunstall?

Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Tunstall comes with a written workmanship guarantee.

A pumped shower makes sense in any Tunstall 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.

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