Working in Walton-on-Thames
As well as Walton-on-Thames itself (KT12, TW16 and TW17), we survey in Sunbury-on-Thames, West Molesey and Weybridge.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Walton-on-Thames: free survey, written quote, one team. If you want a shower in your Walton-on-Thames 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 your Walton-on-Thames bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two.
Most of Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Walton-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
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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.
Thermostatic mixer
Blends hot and cold from your system and holds the temperature steady when someone runs a tap. The usual choice with a combi or an unvented cylinder.
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.
