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

We test flow at survey. Combi installs in Tunstall 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 Tunstall 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 Tunstall 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 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.

Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?

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

A rainfall shower feels different — but only if it's fed with enough flow. In a lot of Tunstall 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 Tunstall isn't a one-template job — every house we walk into reveals something different.
