Working in Kenilworth
We work right across Kenilworth — CV8 — and in neighbouring Warwick and Coventry.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kenilworth: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Kenilworth bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. If you want a shower in your Kenilworth home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit.
Water across much of Warwickshire is hard. If your supply in Kenilworth 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
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
Decisions to make first
Exposed or concealed
An exposed bar valve fixes onto the tiles and is easy to service. A concealed valve sits in the wall for a cleaner look but needs careful setting-out and a plan for access.
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.
