Ashtead shower price
The figure follows the circuit the shower needs. A new circuit off a second consumer unit on Craddocks Avenue is a different figure from a like for like swap on a cable that already has the rating.

What happens on the day
An extended interwar semi on Agates Lane or Barnett Wood Lane often wants an extra circuit rather than a new shower hung on a long serving one. The rating of the shower is checked against the cable that is there. A pull cord is fitted where the shower is out of reach of the switches. The Street cottages take the shower cable around the building. Woodfield Lane houses use the second consumer unit when it has a spare way.
- Test the circuit firstAgates Lane extensions sit on long serving circuits. The cable size and the protection are tested against the shower rating before anything is connected, and a working light nearby is not treated as spare capacity.
- Use a spare way1930s houses off Woodfield Lane and Craddocks Avenue are mostly on a second consumer unit. The shower circuit lands there when a way is spare. If the unit is full, that is said before a hole is cut.
- Go around the cottagePeriod cottages on The Street take the shower cable around the building. A new hole through the fabric is not the default, and the pull cord is fixed where the existing surfaces allow it.

WhatsAppCan a long serving circuit on Agates Lane feed a new shower?
Only if the cable and the protection match the rating. Extended semis there are not assumed to have spare capacity, and a working socket in the room does not settle it.
Where does the new circuit land off Woodfield Lane?
On the second consumer unit, when that unit has a spare way. Most 1930s houses there are already on that second unit. A full unit is reported before work starts.
Is a cottage on The Street chased for the shower cable?
No. The cable is taken around the building. The pull cord and the switch are fixed to surfaces that can take them, and the fabric of the cottage stays intact.
Do you fit a pull cord?
Yes where the shower is outside reach of the switch. The cord is part of the installation, placed so it can be used without leaning into the water.
Is this a rewire of the bathroom?
No. The job is the shower circuit and the controls that belong to it. Other bathroom circuits stay as they are unless a fault on them was already named.
