Working in Sunbury-on-Thames
We cover every part of Sunbury-on-Thames, including KT12, TW16 and TW17, and nearby Walton-on-Thames (1.2 miles) and West Molesey (1.7 miles).
Homes in and around Sunbury-on-Thames vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Sunbury-on-Thames 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. We test pressure and flow at Sunbury-on-Thames surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Supplies across most of Surrey are hard. If your supply in Sunbury-on-Thames 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
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
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.
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.
