Working in Crowborough
As well as Crowborough itself (TN6), we survey in Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield and East Grinstead.
Crowborough gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you want a shower in your Crowborough 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 the shower in your Crowborough home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Supplies across most of East Sussex are hard. If your supply in Crowborough 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 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
- 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.
Electric shower
Heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works without stored hot water. Higher kW units give more flow; 8.5 to 10.5 kW models need a dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps.
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.
