Working in Shepherds Bush
In Shepherds Bush we cover W11, W12 and W14; we also cover Chiswick, 1.8 miles away, and Fulham.
London homes in Shepherds Bush often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Shepherds Bush, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit. If the shower in your Shepherds Bush home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Shepherds Bush 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
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
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.
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.
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.
