Working in Great Yarmouth
We cover every part of Great Yarmouth, including NR29, NR30 and NR31, and nearby Norwich (18.2 miles) and East Dereham (33.8 miles).
Homes in and around Great Yarmouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the shower in your Great Yarmouth home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Great Yarmouth, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Water across much of Norfolk is very hard. If your supply in Great Yarmouth 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
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- 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
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
