Working in Camberley

We work right across Camberley — GU15 and GU16 — and in neighbouring Sandhurst and Farnborough.

In Camberley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Camberley bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. For Camberley 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.

Most of Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Camberley 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 bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank

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.

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.

More about shower installation

Shower installation in Camberley: questions

What is the price of a new shower in Camberley?

A new shower in Camberley usually costs £500–£3,900 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover GU15 and GU16 in Camberley?

Yes. We cover all of Camberley, including GU15 and GU16, and nearby Sandhurst, Farnborough and Crowthorne. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Camberley?

Who handles building control for a new shower in Camberley?

Building control for Camberley is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can you replace an electric shower with a mixer?

Yes, if your hot-water system can supply it. That means running hot and cold pipes to the shower position and making the old shower circuit safe or reusing it. It is worth doing if you have a combi or unvented cylinder with good flow.
