Older cottage cable is tested before reuse. An electric shower in Chipstead needs a cable matched to the unit and a pull cord. In a High Road cottage that cable may be the older run that follows the room. ## What a Chipstead shower includes The figure is the shower circuit and the pull cord at the house named. A new cable is included only when the existing one cannot carry the unit. The feed to a garage or stable is outside this figure. - Electric shower installation: from £220 - Tiling and making the wall good after the unit is on are kept separate. - A full board change is not added because the shower needs one circuit. - A garden room with no shower is not visited under this figure. ## Electric shower installation across Chipstead We serve Chipstead from our base in Banstead. - High Road - Outwood Lane - Starrock Lane - Hazelwood Lane - How Lane - Coulsdon Lane - Hazel Way - Chipstead station - Shabden Park ## What happens on the day We compare the shower unit with the cable that will feed it, then fit a pull cord outside the water. In cottages near the cricket green on High Road the cable often has to follow the room rather than cross it in a straight line. A consumer unit that looks recent does not prove that shower cable is recent. We test the circuit. A stable or garden room is not given the shower, and the long supply in from the road is not opened. ### Match the cable to the unit The unit's rating is checked against the cable in the wall. If that cable is the older run behind a newer unit, it is tested before the shower is hung on it. ### Fit the pull cord clear of the spray The pull cord sits where a person can reach it without standing under the water. A switch in the spray is not left as the isolator. ### Keep the run inside the bathroom The work stays on the shower circuit. We do not trench the garden, and we do not take a way from a feed that serves a stable. ## Questions about a Chipstead shower ### Can the existing cable feed the new shower? Only if the tests say it can carry that unit. In a High Road cottage the cable may be older than the consumer unit, and the look of the unit is not the test. ### Where does the pull cord go? Outside the spray, where it can be reached. We do not leave a switch where the water lands, including in a small cottage bathroom. ### Is this a rewire of the cottage? No. One shower circuit is not the cottage's cable. If the older cabling needs replacing, that is discussed from the tests and booked apart. ### Will you dig the supply in from the road? No. The shower is inside the house. The long run from the road to a house on the slope stays buried and is not opened for a bathroom. ### Does a stable bathroom come under the house shower? No. A stable or garden room is a different building. Its feed is not used as the shower circuit for the house. ## Other services in Chipstead - [Electrician in Chipstead](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/electrician-chipstead): Electrician in Chipstead, Surrey (CR5) — the Reigate and Banstead village, not Chipstead in Kent.
