Electric Shower & Cooker Installation Surrey
Electric Shower & Cooker Installation in Surrey
Dedicated High-Current Circuits — Woking, Kingston, Walton & Across Surrey
Electric showers and electric cookers both require their own dedicated high-current circuit — this is not a job for a handyman or a DIY enthusiast. Brad Neil Electrical installs and connects electric showers and cookers across Surrey to the correct specification, with full certification and Part P notification included.
Why It Matters
Signs You May Need This Service
New electric shower
Installing a new electric shower requires a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, sized correctly for the shower's kW rating.
New cooker connection
Electric cookers and range cookers need a dedicated 32A or 45A circuit and a cooker control unit — not a standard socket.
Replacing an existing unit
Even a like-for-like shower or cooker replacement should be done by a qualified electrician to confirm the existing circuit is still adequate.
Certification required
All shower and cooker circuits must be notified under Part P of the Building Regulations — we handle this as part of the job.

FAQs
Common Questions
Can I connect a new shower to an existing circuit?
No — electric showers must have their own dedicated circuit. Sharing a circuit with other loads is unsafe and non-compliant with BS 7671.
What size circuit does an electric shower need?
This depends on the shower's kW rating. A 9.5kW shower typically needs a 40A or 45A circuit — we will size it correctly for your specific unit.
Do I need a new consumer unit for a shower?
Not necessarily, but the consumer unit must have a spare way for the new circuit. We will check this during the quotation visit and advise accordingly.
Can you install a shower in a bathroom?
Yes — bathroom electrical installations must comply with the zone regulations in BS 7671, which we are fully trained and qualified to work to.
