Working in Sandhurst
We cover every part of Sandhurst, including GU47, and nearby Crowthorne (1.6 miles) and Yateley (1.9 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Sandhurst: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Sandhurst bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. For Sandhurst homes with a cold tank in the loft, we check the system before fitting anything, because a pump is only allowed on a gravity supply.
Supplies across most of Berkshire are hard. If your supply in Sandhurst is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
Decisions to make first
Power shower
A mixer with a built-in pump, for tank-fed systems only. It lifts a weak gravity shower but must never be connected to the mains.
Digital shower
A wall panel sets the exact temperature and flow, while the mixing valve sits out of sight. It needs a power supply and suits a clean, concealed look.
Rules that apply in England
In England, an electric shower usually needs its own dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps for an 8.5 to 10.5 kW unit, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P. The Part G limit of 48 °C applies to a new bath in a new dwelling or one created by change of use, not to a shower, but a thermostatic valve gives similar protection. An unvented cylinder fitted to improve the shower must be installed by a G3-qualified installer.
