Original wiring under a Costain addition is tested first. An electric shower in Kingswood needs a cable that matches the unit, plus a pull cord. Waterhouse Lane houses may still have that cable as original wiring under a later addition. ## What changes the Kingswood shower figure The figure follows the cable the unit needs. If original wiring under a Costain addition cannot carry it, a new circuit is a different cost from swapping onto cable that already matches. The pull cord is included. Extra circuits off Copthill Lane are not folded into the shower. - Electric shower installation: from £220 - A house board that is already full is recorded before a shower unit is bought. - Tiles past the screw holes are a separate line. - The shower unit is included only if that model was chosen ahead of arrival. ## Electric shower installation across Kingswood We serve Kingswood from our base in Banstead. - Waterhouse Lane - Warren Drive - The Warren - Furze Hill - Woodland Way - Copthill Lane - Kingswood station - Lower Kingswood ## What happens on the day We size the cable to the shower unit and fit a pull cord where a switch would sit in the spray. At a Waterhouse Lane house the bathroom may be in a later addition on a Costain build, so the cable in that room is tested by itself. We do not take a spare way from a garage unit unless that unit is the one that feeds the bathroom. Houses on Woodland Way are not given a shower simply because they also want more circuits. ### Read the unit against the cable The shower's rating is compared with the cable in the wall. On a Costain addition that cable may be original. A lamp still glowing nearby does not answer whether that cable can carry the shower. ### Put the pull cord in the bathroom The cord switch sits clear of the spray, where it can be used with a dry hand. The cord and the cable stay in that bathroom, not out in the garage. ### Leave the garage unit alone A consumer unit in the garage, annexe or outbuilding is opened only when it feeds this bathroom. Most bathrooms are on the house board. ## Questions about a Kingswood shower ### Can original wiring under an addition feed the shower? Only when that cable matches the unit. The later addition did not make the original wiring larger. A light nearby that works is not the test. ### Where does the pull cord go? Clear of the spray, in the bathroom, where it can be used with a dry hand. It is not hung in the garage or on an annexe board. ### Is a Woodland Way shower the extra circuits for the whole house? No. A shower is one circuit matched to its unit. Newer houses there often want other circuits as well, and those are listed on their own. ### Will you open an outbuilding for a shower in the house? No, unless that outbuilding's board is the one feeding the bathroom. The shower itself stays in the house. ### Is the wall made good afterwards? We finish at the shower unit, its cable and the pull cord. Tiling, and putting the wall back, is arranged apart from that. ## Other services in Kingswood - [Electrician in Kingswood](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/electrician-kingswood): Electrician in Kingswood, Surrey (KT20).
