Wells is England's smallest city, dominated by the cathedral and Bishop's Palace. Properties range from medieval cottages around Vicars' Close to Victorian villas in Tor Street and modern stock in Wookey Hole and Croscombe. Many bathrooms and immersion tanks are tucked into period airing cupboards with very tight access, we plan cable routes carefully and take the time it deserves.

We don't publish a price list because shower jobs vary a lot. The price depends on the shower's kW rating, the cable size and length of run back to the consumer unit, and whether the board has a spare way or needs replacing. A like-for-like swap on a sound circuit is a smaller job than a new circuit. We check the details first and put a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Yes. We regularly work in Wookey, Wookey Hole, Coxley, Croscombe, Dinder, Dulcote and the surrounding BA5 villages. Wells is 15 minutes from our Mid Somerset (BA6) base, so call-out is fast and there's no extra mileage charge inside the BA5 ring.
Up to 8.5kW we use 6mm cable on a 32A breaker. From 9.5kW upwards (which is most modern showers) we use 10mm on a 40A breaker. Volt drop and run length matter too, for runs over 20m we'll often size up regardless. The shower manufacturer's manual sets the minimum, and we calculate the rest at survey.
BS 7671 Section 701 prohibits switches and sockets in Bathroom Zones 0, 1 and 2 (other than IP-rated specific products). A ceiling-mounted pull-cord is the standard way to isolate the shower without breaching zone rules. It's double-pole, located outside the danger zones, and lets you isolate the shower for cleaning or fault-finding without going to the consumer unit.
