Working in East Molesey
As well as East Molesey itself (KT7, KT8 and TW12), we survey in West Molesey, Esher and Surbiton.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in East Molesey: free survey, written quote, one team. If your East Molesey bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. For East Molesey 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 East Molesey 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
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
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.
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.
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.
