Working in Romsey
We cover every part of Romsey, including SO51, and nearby Totton (4.9 miles) and Eastleigh (6.7 miles).
Romsey gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you want a shower in your Romsey 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 your Romsey 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 Hampshire are hard. If your supply in Romsey 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 check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
