adding to shower

[G1zm0]

hi . im getting my boiler converted from conventional to combi boiler .
the shower I have fitted at moment is a mira single head wall mounted digital shower,

I have bought a mira platinum shower (got it cheap) its a dual head shower , with arm and rainhead, this shower is celing fed .

the 2 showers can use the same head fitting , so I am going to keep the one thats built into wall and was hoping to add the rainhead separately.

I was thinking of buying the piping that would be needed for the rain head to go through celing onto the digital unit .

or is there a way I can fit it to the wall and connect pipes without ripping tiles off? .

the house is single story with loft , at other side of shower is a hallway .

any help appreciated

Where are you locating the controller unit, same place as the current I guess? Where is that and how is the supply to the current hand shower wall outlet run?

Depending on what the wall is constructed from would determine if you could then run a feed from the controller up inside the wall and up to the attic to run the ceiling mounted rain shower. If it's brick and the controller is in the bathroom then the tiles would need to come off, no other way really to get the supply from the controller up into the ceiling.

the construction is plasterboard and wood . the pipes from the hand spray goes up into the loft , it goes through a hole in the joist .

the control unit is in loft aswell , but might be getting sited in front hall as its cold in loft and I think the old one burst .says not to put anything over it .
