Local Knowledge

Why electric shower install in Bath is different

Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage city — most properties are Georgian or Victorian and many are Listed. Outdoor and bathroom electrical work here means careful coordination with conservation officers, minimal-intervention cable routes, and respect for original fabric (stone walls, lath-and-plaster ceilings, original cornice). We do a lot of work in central Bath terraces, hillside villas in Bathwick and Lansdown, and BA2 villages like Combe Down and Bathampton.

FAQ

Common questions

Will you damage Listed fabric in a Bath property?

No. We use minimal-intervention routes — cables run under floorboards, in joist voids, behind existing skirting, or surface clip-direct on stone where chases would damage fabric. For Listed buildings we coordinate with the conservation officer or your architect before first-fix and document everything for the LBC.

Do I need 6mm or 10mm cable for my electric shower?

Up to 8.5kW we use 6mm cable on a 32A breaker. From 9.5kW upwards (which is most modern showers) we use 10mm on a 40A breaker. Volt drop and run length matter too — for runs over 20m we'll often size up regardless. The shower manufacturer's manual sets the minimum, and we calculate the rest at survey.

Why does an electric shower need a pull-cord isolator?

BS 7671 Section 701 prohibits switches and sockets in Bathroom Zones 0, 1 and 2 (other than IP-rated specific products). A ceiling-mounted pull-cord is the standard way to isolate the shower without breaching zone rules. It's double-pole, located outside the danger zones, and lets you isolate the shower for cleaning or fault-finding without going to the consumer unit.
