TMB Electrics, based in Banstead, installs an electric shower in Ashtead on a circuit that can carry it. Long serving circuits on Agates Lane are tested first. ## 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. - Electric shower installation: from £220 - A consumer unit with no spare way is priced as its own job before the shower goes ahead. - Tiling and making good beyond the fixing points are separate from the electrical figure. - The shower unit itself is included only when it is on the quote. ## Electric shower installation across Ashtead We serve Ashtead from our base in Banstead. - The Street - Barnett Wood Lane - Woodfield Lane - Craddocks Avenue - Agates Lane - Ottways Lane - Park Lane - Ashtead Park - Ashtead Common - Ashtead station ## 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 first Agates 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 way 1930s 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 cottage Period 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. ## Ashtead shower questions ### Can 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. ## Other services in Ashtead - [Electrician in Ashtead](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/electrician-ashtead): Ashtead electrician for garden rooms, chargers and new circuits, planned from the real load, route and existing supply. - [Electric shower installation (all areas)](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/services/electric-shower-installation): Electric shower installation in Banstead and Surrey from £220 by TMB Electrics.
