Working in Calne
We work right across Calne — SN11 — and in neighbouring Chippenham and Devizes.
Calne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the shower in your Calne home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. If your Calne bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two.
Supplies across most of Wiltshire are hard. If your supply in Calne 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
