Shower Installation in Brighton and Hove
Shower installation covers fitting a new shower — a mixer shower connected to the existing hot and cold supply, an electric shower with its own cold feed and dedicated electrical circuit, or a digital shower with a separate pump — and includes any associated tiling and sealing around the enclosure.
In Brighton and Hove, that covers Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade. Brighton and Hove is known for its Regency architecture, extensive Victorian terraced housing, and later 20th-century development, all within a compact coastal city where many properties are in conservation areas and a significant number are listed.

Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

FAQs
Shower Installation in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide shower installation across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
Can I have an electric shower fitted anywhere?
It needs a dedicated electrical circuit run from the consumer unit, sized to the shower's power rating, and installed by a qualified electrician to the correct bathroom zone rating — we confirm what's involved on survey if a new circuit is needed.
Why is my shower pressure weak?
This is often down to the type of system feeding it — a mixer shower depends on your incoming water pressure and tank arrangement, while a power or digital shower uses a pump to boost pressure. We can advise on the right type for your system during assessment.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
