Working in Brough

We work right across Brough — HU14 and HU15 — and in neighbouring Kingston upon Hull and Beverley.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Brough: free survey, written quote, one team. We test pressure and flow at Brough surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Brough, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.

Most of the East Riding of Yorkshire has hard water. If your supply in Brough 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

For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it

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.

Head and handset

A handset on a riser rail is versatile and easy for rinsing; a fixed overhead head feels generous but needs strong flow behind it.

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.

More about shower installation

Shower installation in Brough: questions

What is the price of a new shower in Brough?

A new shower in Brough usually costs £400–£3,300 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Who handles building control for a new shower in Brough?

Building control for Brough is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a new shower take?

Allow half a day to 3 days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Brough.

Is the home survey in Brough really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Can you replace an electric shower with a mixer?

Yes, if your hot-water system can supply it. That means running hot and cold pipes to the shower position and making the old shower circuit safe or reusing it. It is worth doing if you have a combi or unvented cylinder with good flow.
