Will a rainfall head work on my Hanley home's water pressure?

We test flow at survey. Combi installs in Hanley generally hit 10-14 l/min which suits a 250-300mm head; gravity systems below that get a pump paired with the install.

Do you fit ceiling-drop arms?

Yes — ceiling-drop looks cleaner but the ceiling void has to take a copper feed, a service loop and 20mm of insulation. We check that at survey on every Hanley job.

Can I have a rainfall head and a handset?

Yes — diverter valve, two outlets, either fed from a thermostatic mixer or a dual-outlet exposed bar. Standard on our Hanley showers.

What size head is worth fitting?

300mm for combi installs; 400mm only where flow measures above 14 l/min. Anything bigger under-fed is a false economy.

Do you fit bathrooms in flats above shops or city-centre apartments?

Yes — bathrooms in Hanley city-centre flats often need acoustic floor build-ups and macerator units; we plan both into the quote.

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.

A rainfall shower feels different — but only if it's fed with enough flow. In a lot of Hanley homes the incoming mains sits at 8-12 l/min, which is fine for a standard head but leaves a 300mm overhead feeling like drizzle.

We flow-test the mains at the survey, spec the head against what's actually available, and add a shower pump on gravity-fed installs where the flow won't do the fixture justice.

Bathroom Fitting in Hanley isn't a one-template job — every house we walk into reveals something different.
