Working in Cleethorpes
As well as Cleethorpes itself (DN35), we survey in Grimsby, Louth and Kingston upon Hull.
Homes in and around Cleethorpes vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Cleethorpes 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. If your Cleethorpes bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two.
Water across much of Lincolnshire is hard. If your supply in Cleethorpes 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
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
