Working in Norwich
In Norwich we cover NR1, NR2, NR3 and 4 more postcode districts; we also cover East Dereham, 15.8 miles away, and Great Yarmouth.
In a city the size of Norwich, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If the shower in your Norwich home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. If you want a shower in your Norwich home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit.
Water across much of Norfolk is very hard. If your supply in Norwich 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
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
Decisions to make first
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.
Exposed or concealed
An exposed bar valve fixes onto the tiles and is easy to service. A concealed valve sits in the wall for a cleaner look but needs careful setting-out and a plan for access.
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.
