Working in Mangotsfield
In Mangotsfield we cover BS5, BS15 and BS16; we also cover Kingswood, 2.4 miles away, and Keynsham.
In Mangotsfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Mangotsfield bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. If you want a shower in your Mangotsfield home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit.
Water across much of Gloucestershire is hard. If your supply in Mangotsfield 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
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
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.
Digital shower
A wall panel sets the exact temperature and flow, while the mixing valve sits out of sight. It needs a power supply and suits a clean, concealed look.
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.
