Working in Cheshunt

We work right across Cheshunt — EN7, EN8 and EN9 — and in neighbouring Waltham Abbey and Enfield.

Homes in and around Cheshunt vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Cheshunt bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. For Cheshunt 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.

Most of Hertfordshire has very hard water. If your supply in Cheshunt 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
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
A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new

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.

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.

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.

What is a digital shower?
