Working in Kingston upon Hull
We work right across Kingston upon Hull — HU1, HU2 and HU3 — and in neighbouring Beverley and Brough.
In a city the size of Kingston upon Hull, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you want a shower in your Kingston upon Hull home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Kingston upon Hull, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Supplies across most of the East Riding of Yorkshire are hard. If your supply in Kingston upon Hull 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
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
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.
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.
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.
