Working in Leominster

As well as Leominster itself (HR6), we survey in Hereford, Ledbury and Great Malvern.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Leominster: free survey, written quote, one team. We test pressure and flow at Leominster surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy. If the shower in your Leominster home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.

Water across much of Herefordshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Leominster. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Do you cover HR6 in Leominster?

Yes. We cover all of Leominster, including HR6, and nearby Hereford, Ledbury and Great Malvern. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Does an electric shower need its own circuit?

Almost always. An electric shower draws a large current, so it needs a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, often 40 to 45 amps for an 8.5 to 10.5 kW unit, with RCD protection. In England and Wales a new circuit is notifiable work. Swapping like for like onto an adequate existing circuit is simpler.
