Working in Feltham
As well as Feltham itself (TW4, TW13 and TW14), we survey in Ashford, Hounslow and Sunbury-on-Thames.
In Feltham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you want a shower in your Feltham 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 Feltham, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Feltham 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
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
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.
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.
