Which system suits a Stone thermostatic install?

Combi, unvented cylinder or gravity with a shower pump — all work, all need the correct pressure balance. We measure static and dynamic pressure at the outlet before spec.

Is TMV-2 the right rating for family homes?

Yes — TMV-2 caps the max temperature within safe scald limits. TMV-3 is for care settings. Both are stocked on our Stone vans.

How long does the install take?

2–5 hours for a like-for-like swap; a full day where we're re-piping to a concealed valve. Commissioned with a thermometer and left within manufacturer tolerance.

Will it fix my temperature-swing problem?

In most cases yes, provided the system is balanced. If the underlying issue is a cross-flow into the mains, we find and fix that during commissioning on Stone jobs.

How quickly can you start a job in Stone?

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 Stone 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.

A thermostatic mixer is only as accurate as the install behind it. A lot of the "temperature swing" complaints we get called out to in Stone come down to a cartridge that was never flushed and pipes that weren't dead-tested for cross-flow.

We flush the hot and cold feeds properly, install strainers on both, and commission with a thermometer against manufacturer targets — not a hand-under-water check.

Every bathroom fitting job we run in Stone is planned around the pipework and the floor we actually find, not the one we hope for.
