We serve Canford Heath from our base in Poole.
What happens on the day
We complete all work cleanly and systematically, ensuring circuits are checked and water connections are sealed before testing the unit.
- Circuit isolation and inspectionWe isolate the shower supply at the main board, verify the circuit is dead, and inspect the incoming cable, isolation switch and protective devices to confirm they match the requirements of the replacement unit.
- Mounting and terminal connectionsThe old unit is safely disconnected and removed from the wall. We mount the new shower, terminate the live, neutral and earth conductors securely, and connect the cold water inlet before fitting the front casing.
- Testing and initial commissioningPower and water supplies are restored to verify pressure and heating performance across all settings. We take electrical earth loop and insulation resistance readings to confirm safe operation before cleaning the cubicle.

WhatsAppCan I replace my electric shower with a more powerful model?
A more powerful unit requires greater electrical current. We inspect your existing cable diameter, isolator switch and consumer unit fuse to determine if they can support a higher kilowatt rating without needing new wiring.
Do I need a new consumer unit to fit an electric shower?
Not necessarily. If your current fuse board has an available spare way with proper RCD protection and sufficient capacity, we can use it. If the board lacks appropriate safety switches, we outline the options beforehand.
Is electric shower installation notifiable under Building Regulations?
Installing an electric shower on a brand new dedicated circuit in a bathroom is notifiable work. We complete notifications through our NAPIT registration and provide the official compliance certificate once testing is complete.
What is included in a like for like shower replacement?
A like for like swap includes disconnecting the old unit, mounting the new shower to the existing wall fixing area, connecting the existing water supply and electrical cable, and testing operation across all heat settings.
Do you repair internal shower components?
We isolate and replace faulty shower units rather than rebuilding internal heating elements or solenoids, as complete replacement ensures modern safety standards and reliable daily operation.
