FAQs
Shower Installation in Maidstone: FAQs
Do you provide shower installation across all of Maidstone?
Yes, we cover the ME14, ME15 and ME16 postcode areas in full, including Allington, Barming, Loose, Penenden Heath, Tovil, Weavering, Bearsted.
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.
Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
