Working in Littlehampton
We cover every part of Littlehampton, including BN17, and nearby Bognor Regis (6.4 miles) and Worthing (7.2 miles).
In Littlehampton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We test pressure and flow at Littlehampton surveys before recommending a shower, so you know how it will perform before you buy. If you are replacing a failed electric shower in Littlehampton, we check whether the existing cable and circuit suit the new unit.
Water across much of West Sussex is hard. If your supply in Littlehampton 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
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.
