Working in Hounslow
In Hounslow we cover TW3, TW4, TW5 and 5 more postcode districts; we also cover Isleworth, 0.9 miles away, and Heston.
In Hounslow, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We test pressure and flow at Hounslow surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Hounslow, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Hounslow 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
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- 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
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
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.
