Working in Morden
We cover every part of Morden, including SM4, SW19 and SW20, and nearby Mitcham (1.3 miles) and Wimbledon (1.7 miles).
In Morden, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For Morden 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 your Morden bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two.
Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Morden 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 check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
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.
