Working in Doncaster
We work right across Doncaster — DN1, DN2 and DN4 — and in neighbouring Bentley and Adwick le Street.
In a city the size of Doncaster, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you want a shower in your Doncaster home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit. If the shower in your Doncaster home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Most of South Yorkshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Doncaster. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
Decisions to make first
Electric shower
Heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works without stored hot water. Higher kW units give more flow; 8.5 to 10.5 kW models need a dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps.
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.
