Working in Enfield
In Enfield we cover EN1, EN2, EN3 and 6 more postcode districts; we also cover Edmonton, 2.1 miles away, and Tottenham.
London homes in Enfield often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. For Enfield homes with a cold tank in the loft, we check the system before fitting anything, because a pump is only allowed on a gravity supply. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Enfield, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Enfield 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
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
