Working in Nuneaton
We work right across Nuneaton — CV10 and CV11 — and in neighbouring Bedworth and Hinckley.
Nuneaton has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you want a shower in your Nuneaton home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit. We test pressure and flow at Nuneaton surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy.
Supplies across most of Warwickshire are hard. If your supply in Nuneaton 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
- 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
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
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.
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.
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.
