Working in West Molesey
As well as West Molesey itself (KT8, KT12 and KT13), we survey in East Molesey, Sunbury-on-Thames and Walton-on-Thames.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in West Molesey: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in West Molesey, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit. If the shower in your West Molesey home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix.
Supplies across most of Surrey are hard. If your supply in West 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 check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
- A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
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.
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.
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.
