Working in Hayling Island
We cover every part of Hayling Island, including PO11, and nearby South Hayling (0.5 miles) and Emsworth (4.6 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Hayling Island: free survey, written quote, one team. For Hayling Island 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. We test pressure and flow at Hayling Island surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Supplies across most of Hampshire are hard. If your supply in Hayling Island 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
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
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.
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.
