Working in Aylesbury
We cover every part of Aylesbury, including HP19, HP20 and HP21, and nearby Leighton Buzzard (9.6 miles) and Berkhamsted (11.3 miles).
Homes in and around Aylesbury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Aylesbury, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit. We test pressure and flow at Aylesbury surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Supplies across most of Buckinghamshire are hard. If your supply in Aylesbury 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
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
Thermostatic mixer
Blends hot and cold from your system and holds the temperature steady when someone runs a tap. The usual choice with a combi or an unvented cylinder.
Exposed or concealed
An exposed bar valve fixes onto the tiles and is easy to service. A concealed valve sits in the wall for a cleaner look but needs careful setting-out and a plan for access.
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.
