Working in Bexhill-on-Sea
We cover every part of Bexhill-on-Sea, including TN38, TN39 and TN40, and nearby Hastings (4.8 miles) and Hailsham (9.3 miles).
Homes in and around Bexhill-on-Sea vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you want a shower in your Bexhill-on-Sea home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit. We test pressure and flow at Bexhill-on-Sea surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Water across much of East Sussex is hard. If your supply in Bexhill-on-Sea 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
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
