Working in Thorne
As well as Thorne itself (DN8), we survey in Goole, Doncaster and Bentley.
Thorne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Thorne bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. We test pressure and flow at Thorne surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Water across much of South Yorkshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Thorne. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
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.
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.
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.
