Working in Shoreham-by-Sea
We work right across Shoreham-by-Sea — BN42 and BN43 — and in neighbouring Lancing and Portslade.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Shoreham-by-Sea: free survey, written quote, one team. If the shower in your Shoreham-by-Sea home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. If your Shoreham-by-Sea bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two.
Most of West Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Shoreham-by-Sea 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
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- 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
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.
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.
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.
